 The
term, "Web Design" suggests a very broad topic
which encompasses many different elements. Sometimes
confusion may arise about just what "Web Design" really
means.
The word, "Web" is a modern colloquialism
for the Internet, much like its similes, "Information
Superhighway" and, "the Net". There are
very specific protocols that are implied with the term,
but those are thought of less frequently as more people
gain access and do more with this medium.
The word, "design" on the other hand, traditionally
refers to the artistic process. The mastery of technical
skills, combined with the ability to create original
concepts is required to implement ideas into the medium
in which the designer is working.
When you think about the background behind these words,
you can see how "Web Design" is more like "Internet
Design" and that it's not always as simple as generating
a standalone document. Often times, people not only misunderstand
the meaning of, "Web Design" but they also
underestimate just how much work is required.
Some of the professions that fall within the realm of
the Web Design professions include:
- Website Designer
- Graphic Designer (digital media)
- Logo Designer
- User Interface Designer
- Content Manager
- Content Author
- Information Architecture Engineer
- Flash Designer / Actionscript Developer
- Website Developer / Website Programmer
- Online Application Developer
- Quality Assurance Tester
- Internet Marketing Campaign Manager
- Search Engine Marketing Professional
- Search Engine Optimization Specialist
- Webmaster
A single web designer will try to do all of these jobs
simultaneously, with limited results. A more effective
way of handling the situation is to work with a company
that has the resources to handle these tasks and the
know-how to merge them efficiently. IntraMedia is a company
that has the staff, resources and experience to integrate
all of these relevant elements together to create a successful
Internet presence.
