Overview

Get a whole new career as a Web Designer

Gain an industry recognised qualification and the skills you need for a truly rewarding career in Web Design…

Is a Web Design career right for me?

Do you enjoy spending time browsing websites and have a good feel for what makes a good website?

Are you interested in emerging web technologies and enjoy being creative?

If so, then Web Design could be a great choice for you…

What is a Web Designer?

Web Designers generally are responsible for determining the look of a website. As a Web Designer, you will use your technical and creative skills to design and build websites or part of a website.

In bigger companies, Web Designers will often be responsible for just the design side. While working in a smaller company, you may be responsible for the efficient functionality of the whole site.

Okay, Is Web Design a good career?

The web and online market is growing at a phenomenal rate and driving the demand for good Web Designers.

Companies want to build trust with online visitors and get them to engage and buy from them. To do this online, you need a good looking website that is easy to use and functions well.

Having a website that looks great and functions well is increasingly important for companies and organisations nowadays.

Websites can be quite simple and administered by one person or incredibly complex with teams of people working on them. This gives you a great choice of career opportunities and options.

You can also move your career towards Web Developing if you prefer writing code more so than the design side.

Money, money, money…

Starting out as a Junior Web Designer, your salary will typically vary from £17,000 to £22,000 per annum.

The average salary for more experienced Web Designers in the UK is £30,000.

Senior Web Designers earn £35,000 on average.

Self-employed Web Designers set their own rates.

As a web designer, you could work on any kind of website, from a simple brochure site to a complex online shop. Your main tasks could include:

  • Preparing a design plan, showing the site structure and how the different parts link together
  • Deciding which text, colours and backgrounds to use
  • Laying out pages and positioning buttons, links and pictures using design software
  • Adding multimedia features like sound, animation and video
  • Testing and improving the design and site until everything works as planned
  • Uploading the site to a server for publication online.

Where can I find Web Designer Jobs?

There are different routes into web design once you have completed your Web Design training…

Virtually all UK companies or organisations that deal with the public in any way, have a website that needs looking after. Larger companies will employ permanent staff (often large teams), to maintain, improve and further develop their website.

Alternatively you may work for a company that specialises in Web Design.

Web Designers also choose to work for themselves and contract their services to clients.

Plenty of Web Designer jobs can be found on job boards like Reed and Monster.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
