What qualities make a good Web Designer?

Web Designers need to be methodical and detail-oriented to ensure that the designs they create are error-free and appealing to users. They need to be able to manage their time effectively to meet deadlines and provide updates to their team, manager or client.

Who does a Web Designer report to?

A company with a large design and technical team may have a number of Junior Web Designers reporting to a Senior Web Designer or a Technical or Creative Director. Smaller companies may have a single Web Designer who works closely with the technical, marketing and sales teams and reports to a Senior IT Manager.
