7.3.10 Web Page Designer
Description
Web Page Designers are the persons that convert text documents to HTML
format. These are usually not the only skills they have, and they
sometimes refer to themselves as Webmaster .
The latter should only be true if the person does the graphics design , text conversion,
Web site setup, and maintenance. Otherwise, their only tasks involve
designing the layout of the textual information and presenting it via
HTML. However, they are required to work with the Graphics designer and
persons providing the content in order to provide quality Web pages.
Web Page Designers also need to have knowledge of HTML, a browser and good
communication skills to accomplish their tasks.
Education Requirement
Knowledge of HTML is the largest educational requirement for Web Page
Designers. HTML is a language that one can learn by reading a book.
To be an efficient and productive Web Page Designer, one should also have
skills in Graphics Design, and some programming in Java and CGI.
Salary
These persons can demand $20K-$50K depending on experience, additional
skills other than HTML knowledge, and their education level.
