Web design refers to the design, creation and maintenance of websites for the internet. It encompasses various aspects such as visual aesthetics, user-friendliness, functionality and optimisation for search engines.
A web designer combines elements such as colours, fonts, graphics, images, videos and layouts to create a website that is appealing and functional. The designer must also ensure that the website is easily accessible and user-friendly so that visitors can easily navigate it and find what they are looking for. They also need to ensure that the website works smoothly, loads quickly and displays correctly on different devices such as desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.
Web design also includes developing content for the website, such as text and images, and optimising the website for search engines so that it appears higher in search results. It is also important that the website is secure and protected against attacks, and that it is regularly maintained and updated.
