Website Design

What is website design?

In the production and maintenance of a website, there are many different skills and disciplines involved. Web design includes the following areas:

• Web graphic design.
• Interface design.
• Authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software.
• User experience design.
• Search engine optimization.

Many designers work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some cover them all. In most cases, web design refers to the process of creating a website's front-end (client-side) design. In the broader scope of web development, web design partially overlaps web engineering. Web designers are expected to be aware of usability, and if their role involves creating markup, then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
