A webdesigner is responsible for designing and producing the visual identity of a website, creating all the graphic elements (illustrations, banners, animations, etc.) in accordance with the wishes of the client and the target audience, technical constraints and marketing requirements. The aim is to attract future users to the site. Under the supervision of an art director or project manager, the web designer defines the product specifications: ergonomics, navigation schemes, tree structure, scripting, visual and sound identity, graphic charters, etc. They are also responsible for designing interfaces, particularly for e-commerce and e-marketing. A web designer draws (on paper and using a graphic palette), creates models and retouches web pages, but he or she is not a simple performer: he or she has a holistic vision of the final product. The web designer works with the client and the project manager to directly supervise the work of graphic designers, computer graphics artists and web integrators. Due to technical constraints, they sometimes have to arbitrate between functional and artistic aspects. They must therefore be versatile: have both artistic and technical skills. They master all kinds of graphic software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc. The ability to use integrated tools (XML, Javascript) is an asset. A webdesigner can work in a web agency specialising in corporate communication or advertising, in a multimedia design studio, in an online publishing house or in a SSII (Société de Services en Ingénierie Informatique). Some people choose to be independent.
