Web Design Career Requirements

Web Design: What Skills Do You Need for a Successful Career?
Web designers, also called Web developers, create and design websites. They come from both computer science and graphic design backgrounds and often need some knowledge of both. This means you can earn a bachelor's degree in graphic design and gain some web site design experience to have excellent job opportunities, or you can earn a bachelor's degree in information technology and be a technical programmer with an artistic flair.

You must create user-friendly yet visually appealing websites to attract an audience for your clients. This involves choosing the images, type-face, and structure, combining art with computer science and business savvy to build a popular domain.

Required skills include:
  • Ability to work with clients
  • Computer programming
  • Creating animated images
  • Knowledge of Internet technologies like HTML, Java, ASPs, and more
  • Problem-solving
  • Using software programs like Photoshop
What Education is Required for a Web Design Career?
Depending on which bachelor's degree you pursue, you may take more design-based courses (such as computerized design, principles of design, studio art, and commercial graphics production) or more computer science, technology, and system design courses. The art and graphic design courses help prepare a web design professional for the creative aspects of their work, while the computer courses give them the necessary technical knowledge.
