If the answer is positive, you’ll enjoy this blog. In this blog, we will discuss the definition, importance, skill, industry, and the necessary fundamentals for a successful career in Web Design.

What is Web Design?

Web Design is the process of designing layouts and web pages for a website. If you’re a total beginner, don’t worry, here’s a simpler and better explanation. 

Web Development is the process of developing, maintaining, and updating a website. Everything that happens online is based on websites and web pages. Think of a website as a book and its pages as web pages. You will find different content on each page that makes the book interesting and conveys information. 

This information needs to be organized in a systematic, appealing, and functional way. Functionality and User Experience are some of the most important elements that a web designer and developer needs to take care of. 

Moreover, Web Development includes Web Design, Web Publishing, Web Programming, and Database Management. Each aspect is a whole field on its own, these are building blocks to all the things you come across on the internet. 

Coming back to web design, 

Web Design is the process of creating, designing, and updating web pages on a website. Strategic management is required to increase traffic to your website and hence convert them into leads. Leads refer to the actual number of people that can potentially convert into customers.

Now, Web designing usually involves working on every variety of elements that people interact with which further makes the website more simple and efficient. 
Generally, an efficient website will perform better than a visually cluttered and harder-to-navigate website. A well-designed website facilitates users to quickly find the information they need and looks visually appealing too.

Why is Web Design necessary?

As the world becomes more reliant on digital technology, the need for a digital presence is as high as the sky. This has heavily impacted the business industry. As in the old days, businesses were required to be present physically somewhere, the same effect has translated to “ You need to have an online presence on the web”.

There are over 1.13 billion websites on the web. Out of 1.13 billion, 5,708,965 websites have been created and are active in India. It is a tough job to be able to rank in such a hectic competition, out-do your competitors, and build trust with your customers all at the same time. This is where Web Design comes into play. 
A well-designed website will take care of User Experience, Intractability, and building an online presence all at once.
