Usually, their responsibilities are split between graphic designers, user experience designers (UX), interface designers (UI), front-end developers, SEO managers, and so on. Some web designers may have front-end programming skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Nevertheless, it is more common to leave this part to web developers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Web developers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are people in charge of converting a website design into a working version that you see on the Internet<\/span><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best result could be achieved only through the close cooperation of the two. Website designers have to consider web accessibility and limitations of programming languages to create both good-looking and actionable websites. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, website designers should think about end-users first. This is the only way they can make sure the website is intuitive and gives the visitors what they came for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s move on to discuss what a web designer\u2019s work actually looks like. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_website_designers_do\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do website designers do?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6057\" src=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/making-changes-to-mobile-wireframes_925x.jpg\" alt=\"What do website designers do?\" width=\"687\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/making-changes-to-mobile-wireframes_925x.jpg 925w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/making-changes-to-mobile-wireframes_925x-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/making-changes-to-mobile-wireframes_925x-418x279.jpg 418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main responsibility of a web designer is to create a website in line with the client\u2019s requirements, business needs, and industry standards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, before assigning the work to a web designer, you need to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">set clear goals for your website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, i.e. why you need it and what you want to achieve with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that, web designers will analyze your business and current website (if you have one), taking into account your competitors and industry best practices.
