A Web designer is someone who designs Web pages. A Web designer is more focused on the look and feel of a website than how it works, and often uses WYSIWYG editors rather than diving into the HTML directly.
Web designers have the following skills:
- Some HTML
- CSS
- Design
- Project management
Companies looking for Web designers are looking for people with a good aesthetic sense that can build and maintain websites that look good.
Web designers won't be asked to build Web programs or applications or maintain databases for data driven websites.
