Below is a list of proper definitions for specific job roles that are related to web design. Web-Designer - A person who designs webpages. This person should be expected to make a good webpage based on graphics and textual content. NOT ALL web-designers are graphics designers! Neither are they programmers, so don't be surprised if a web-designer can't offer a feature for your website that you want. Beware of one-man shows! Graphics-Designer - This person is highly artistic and skilled at creating brilliant digital graphics images. They are best for designing company logos, business cards, brochures, flyers, and website banners. Just because a person is an artist does not mean he or she is equally capable designing webpages. Sometimes webpages will require complex coding that requires a bit of programming knowledge to successfully complete.
Copy-Writer - A skilled writer who writes advertisement phrases well that grab attention through efficient use of words. Most Web-designers are NOT copy-writers so you shouldn't let them write content for you if your site requires a professional content and marketing lines.
Web-Programmer or Web-Developer - These people are programmers and software engineers that write code for web-applications and software that work over the web. Web-programmers are responsible for many of the interactive, dynamic features, and database-type features that you see on websites today. Anything with a list, login, registration, or extensive organization is probably related to the work of a web-developer. Web-Marketer - These people are knowledgeable about all internet marketing methods used today to market your company products and services over the web. They know how to use the proper type of online marketing (SEO, PPC, Banner Ad, Email Ad, Affiliate, Interactive Ads) to bring the best type of consumer response to your product and boost sales through the internet. SEO Expert - This person is skilled at getting your website to show up high in popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, or MSN for relevant keywords that YOU choose. Real search engine optimization experts use natural or organic SEO techniques to bring your listings to the top. Cheating the system also known as "blackhat SEO" will get your site banned and even removed from Google! SEO experts are not to be confused with web-marketers or PPC-campaign experts. |
