Web design primarily focuses on the visual aspects of a website, aiming to create an appealing and user-friendly interface for visitors. Designers use various design tools like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to craft graphical elements such as logos, images, and layouts. Key tasks of web designers include:
- Creating wireframe design prototypes to outline the structure and layout of web pages.
- Designing homepages, inner pages, and landing pages with a focus on user experience (UX).
- Collaborating with developers and project managers to implement website designs.
- Incorporating principles of UX design to ensure usability across different devices and optimal navigation for users.
While web designers may have some knowledge of coding languages like HTML and CSS, their primary focus is on the aesthetic and functional aspects of the website.
