A Web Designer, or Web Applications Designer, is responsible for designing the overall layout and aesthetic for websites. Their duties include coding webpages or entire websites, meeting with clients to review website templates or refine their designs and running tests to preview layouts and website features. Technical skills in HTML and JavaScript, as well as a strong understanding of design and usability concepts are key for someone in this role. Many web developers get a degree in computer science. But bootcamps and online courses have become more popular due to lower costs and more time flexibility.
