What Does A Web Designer Do?
A web designer uses graphics and graphic design software to create the look and feel of a website or web page. They may write the code to make it internet-ready themselves or rely on a team of coders to provide it.
A well-designed website must attract visitors, load fast, and quickly and easily provide relevant information about the company, products/services, and branding that encourages sales conversions. Every element of your website should contribute to those goals.
The Web Design Process
A website that excels in both form and function can be achieved through a specific design process.
1. Identify Goals
The web designer works with the client to determine the purpose and goals of the website. The goals should be specific and measurable.
2. Define Scope
Defining the scope of the project consists of determining the web pages and features the website will need in order to reach the goals as well as the timeline to launch.
3. Create Sitemap and Wireframe
In the sitemap and wireframe step, the designer plans how all of the web pages and features from step 2 will be structured and linked together.
4. Create Content
This step is where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in. It is crucial that the content is informative and focused on the topics relevant to your top keywords.
5. Add Visual Elements
The visual elements like the color palette, fonts, and images should be true to the organization’s branding. If the client does not have a full catalog of image assets already, there may be a good deal of graphic design work to this step.
6. Test and Edit
In this critical phase, the web designer tests the site on a variety of devices, in different browsers, and using site crawlers to ensure everything loads and functions correctly. Any broken links, formatting errors, or user experience issues must be corrected before launching the website because they can hurt your SEO in addition to putting off users.
7. Launch
Launching a new website should be treated as an event and publicized as much as possible. At the very least, it should be shared on all of the organization’s social media pages and Google Business Profiles.
