Most of people think a website, only made by one person only (web design). No Wonder how difficult it was, web design are also involves the role of several professions in group with different specialities but synergized. Some of them are :
1. Web Interface Designer.
This specialization should be in an adaptation by friends with a basic print design. It takes time to learn how to work the website,
understand the workings of code and developers, to observe the latest web design trends. But it's worth it! Once you explore the world of
interface design, you will dive deeper and deeper:)
The role of the interface is as important as developers, it is like we are designing a logo. We use visual elements to convey messages, uses
symbols to simplify user interaction.
The point remains communication, even more we explore the interface we will learn more about custom user (usability), which in my opinion,
indirectly we are studying the psychology of others (for example, user reactions to a particular color, typography and other games).
2. Front End Developer.
If you already understand the code and you are happy to design coding you've created yourself, then you should choose the role of front end developers. Technically, the front end developers will generate html and css of the design that has been made in photoshop.
Front-end developers who either have an observant eye and usually also have a sense of art. If it's basic design will be even better. That's why many designers are also web interface that can act as a front end developer as well.
3. Back End Developer.
This is Where the Magic Happens. Display is nice, now living gives 'ability' on the website. Back End Developer This could be said of workers behind the scenes. Users do not see directly but can feel and interact with websites.
For example when we upload photos to facebook. This is a fairly long process. Browse button will open a window, pull the data from our computer, then upload to the server, on display again at the front end (page edited photo) so that the user can see his picture, give a description, tagging, and the last publish.
But users do not feel the long process that is not it? That's because the interface and function well together.
4. Copywriter
80% view website are the text and the majority of users would read the text for information. This is where the role of the copywriter is in need. In addition to good looks, a website must have 'way / style of speaking' that is easy to understand and unique in accordance with their respective market.
The role of this copywriter can sometimes be a factor x. Let's see how Twitter change the "What are you doing now" to "What's Happening". Really feel the difference. Only by changing the sentence, Twitter transformed into a source of news for the whole world.
CONCLUSION :
A website is not in for just a web designer (web designer becomes ambiguous term nowadays). Requires a minimum of two roles, the interface designer and front / back end developer. So if you have a basic as a print designer, I hope you will take the time to know and study the design of the website (at least you can be an interface designer).
Believe me this is the future of the world and a new website just beginning. Later it is possible we will use a different platform (applications for example), but it will remain the same basis, fourth this role will not be integral.
How about you? There role is missing? please comment.
