Web Designer

Design does not only mean graphics. Web designers are computer specialists. They write codes and use code programs (JavaScript, PHP, etc.).

CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets", and are used to control and manage font styles, font sizes, and web site color combinations that are used in a web page. In order to retain continuity of "look and feel" throughout a website, all pages within a website will often refer to a single CSS file. The CSS file is typically contained in a separate file from the website, and the various web pages retrieve the CSS file each time a web page is displayed. CSS files make global appearance changes easy a single change in a CSS file will mean that any pages using that CSS file will automatically display the changes.

Web designers are visual artists. They usually combine computer education with web design coursework, but a degree or course in art is also valued. A special challenge for designers of websites is to create an aesthetically pleasing interactive environment - the site should not only look beautiful, but be easy and interesting to navigate.

A website template is a ready-made HTML layout for webmasters. Typically, webmasters need to only edit the text and links in the HTML page, and they can then have a website up and running in a very short amount of time. Web templates make the creation of a website easier and faster. Web templates are easy to edit and customize using an HTML editor.

Web designers can work in multiple sectors, but over time they usually begin to specialize. If you don't yet have much experience, you have probably done different jobs in different sectors. You might still say what you feel most expert at, like business sites or personal sites. And if you do specialize already, then say so with confidence. But you might also want to mention your creative adaptability.

Make sure you know all the relevant news and blogs. You should be reading them regardless, but doing so on a daily basis during your job search is important. Be ready to talk casually and fluently about the latest web trends.

Because I can make good $," "I don't like to dress up or shave," and "because I loved the movie Hackers," are not good enough answers. Well a comment about hackers might fly but make sure you have a real back-story that describes your "Aha!" moment.

The main difference between the programs is that with Essentials, the designs are ready-to-go. The site is complete in a week because the majority of the work is done already. Custom sites are ready in two to three months, as we spend hundreds of hours researching, planning, designing and building a company's unique web presence. As a result, there is also a significant price difference. For firms on a tight budget, or looking for a simple practice area site, Essentials is the quick and easy solution.

We can help you write content on an hourly rate, but text content is not included. Anything you send to us we will include on the website (text, audio, video and photos). We also do not include long, boring Flash introductions (which no one watches anyway), although we will animate the home page graphics.

Just about everything. All the pages you can handle, all the design time, a integrated blog, various contact forms, custom graphics, stock photography (1,000,000+ images), basic search engine optimization, and more.

w3c stands for world web consortium. w3c Standards compliance in web development is where everything is (hopefully?) going. Don't ask them to recite the w3c's mission statement or anything, but they should at least have a general idea of who they are.

Cookies are small text files that websites place in a browser for tracking or login purposes. Meanwhile, local-Storage and session-Storage are new objects, both of which are storage specifications but vary in scope and duration. Of the two, local-Storage is permanent and website-specific whereas session-Storage only lasts as long as the duration of the longest open tab.

An important feature of HTML5 is the Application Cache. It creates an offline version of a web application. and stores website files such as HTML files, CSS, images, and JavaScript, locally. It is a feature that speeds up site performance.

No, browser will not be able to identify that it's a HTML document and HTML 5 tags will not function properly.

Knowing HTML is certainly helpful in website design, especially when very minor tweaks and adjustments are necessary, but it is not absolutely required for website design. There are a number of WYSIWYG editors and web templates available, which can assist new webmasters with the design process. Using a web template and a WYSIWYG editor, new webmasters are able to create a web page by simply cutting and pasting content into a web template.

It depends on many variables. Custom website design can range from $500-$3000 for a single web template. The price varies, depending on the complexity of the design. Webmasters can also use a stock web template, which can cost as little as $15.00, or as much as several hundreds of dollars. Some stock templates are available for exclusive use, and exclusive designs tend to be more expensive. Website content development and Search Engine Optimization can be even more expensive, and are ongoing expenses.

Sometimes web designers need to include or add functions to existing websites. Functions include message boards, guest books, games, quizzes, etc.
