If you want to be a professional Web designer, you have many avenues for learning the skills you need and an equal number of pathways for practicing your profession. In general Web designers create and organize the pages that make up a Website, always keeping in mind the technology that allows the Website to functions. Web designers may focus on the computer aspect of Web design, the marketing, or the graphic design—or they may be involved “soup to nuts.” Overall, Web designers typically combine artistic abilities with communication and technological skills.
