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.

Here are 3 reasons to contact a professional web designer: - Your website will serve as your company's showcase and your business card on the web. It is therefore important not to neglect the interface and design of your future website. - The graphic charter must represent the image and activities of your company, the presentation must correspond to your various brochures, paper leaflets, advertising slogans... - A thoughtless and poorly designed graphic charter or interface can damage your brand image.

Several solutions are available to you. If you have multiple needs. For example, when setting up your business, you can use a web agency or a freelance web designer. In particular, there will be differences in the cost of the service, flexibility and availability of either option. Use your network, this is often the best way to find professionals.

A good web designer is a thorough and organised professional who you can easily work with to develop a project in the right direction. Choosing a qualified professional is not an obligation, as there are self-taught freelancers who do well, but it is a guarantee of significant results. BTS in Graphic Design, Licence Pro in Web Design, Bac Pro in Digital Creation, etc. are a few examples of training courses that will enable you to acquire certain skills in web design and thus guide companies in this type of research.
