A web designer may be more concerned with aesthetics while web designers frequently have a working knowledge of HTML/CSS.
What distinguishes a web designer from a UX designer? Can I refer to myself as a UX or UI designer? Was there a difference between what those terms meant and “web design”? What differentiates each type of designer—web, UX, and UI? What does a web designer do? A web designer may be more concerned with aesthetics and attractiveness than with user demands and site navigation as they are not their primary concerns. Web designers frequently have a working knowledge of HTML/CSS and, occasionally, JavaScript in addition to the design elements (and strategy). A web developer usually concentrates on the “back-end,” or what you can’t see, whereas a web designer frequently handles the “front-end” development (also known as what you can see). What does an UX designer do? A user’s interaction with a website, app, or product is the primary concern of a user experience (UX) designer. User interviews, buyer personas, Google Analytics, information architecture, wireframes, visual design, prototyping, and testing can all be used to accomplish this. That is a lot. “But, you’re a web designer, don’t you do those things, too?” Yes, yes, I do.
The layout of each screen: How should the information be placed? How much space is needed between elements? Which visual patterns and hierarchies will create an intuitive experience? •Responsive design: The app must work across all screen sizes. •Designing the “boring” but necessary stuff: buttons, icons, sliders, and scrollbars. •Colour and typeface choices. •The interactive bits: How does a button react when the user clicks on it? •Establishing a style guide for the app or website to ensure consistency for the user. Like UX design, UI design frequently goes through more revisions than web design. Furthermore, coding languages may or may not be known by UX and UI designers.
Thus, a UX designer decides how the UI will work, a UI designer decides how the UI will look, and a web designer combines all of these elements to create a cutting-edge website. These three domains will generally collaborate closely since this is a community-oriented procedure. The UI group is working on how these interface components will appear on the screen, and the web designers are integrating it all while the UX group is focused on the application’s flow, how buttons direct you through your website, and how the interface effectively presents the data that clients need. UX and UI design are specialties that are focused on Web Design, which is the umbrella term. Anyone who considers themselves to be a web designer ought to be knowledgeable with UX and UI. Additionally, certain words are industry-specific. Startups and IT firms typically hire people expressly for UI/UX positions. A UX position will occasionally place greater emphasis on research and information architecture. On occasion, a UI role will also involve UX. Companies occasionally seek a web designer who can handle everything. If the aim is not precise, everything is a bit of a muddle. Whatever route you choose, it’s critical to keep in mind that design is about more than simply aesthetics; it’s also about problem-solving, communication, and people.
