WEBSITE
Web Design
Web design is basically the planning of how a website will look, feel and function. It covers areas such as user experience and user interface, aka UX and UI. The general usability of the site and experience for the user needs to be considered, along with the layout, color scheme and overall aesthetic. Content may also fall under this area, depending on the type of website or business.
The process of planning a website requires various phases: research, ideation, execution, and technical assessment. Each phase is broken down into a series of steps. It is extremely beneficial for anyone working in this field to have at least a basic understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript as it lets you communicate your ideas and vision more efficiently to anyone who will be building the website. Page load times and responsive design principles also play large part in UX and UI, so a technical mindset and knowledge of usability and functionality principles are also important for anyone working in this area.
Aspects such as SEO and on-page content are also important for those working on website set-up and layout, though this will also be covered by content teams and online editors.
