Web Designer education and training requirements

Web Designers usually have a bachelor’s degree or some other relevant education such as an associate degree or certification. They might also have taken classes in coding languages useful for web design such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby or ASP. Someone whose primary training is in computer science or a related subject may also have certificates in graphic design. This shows they understand the visual side of web design as well as the technical. It’s not uncommon for Web Designers to be self-taught, and those who are can commonly find work based on their experience.

Web Designer experience requirements

Experienced Web Designers should have a portfolio of their work. This may comprise physical copies of screenshots from websites they have developed, or it may be a digital presentation of those sites. These should demonstrate the range of sites the designer has worked on and show their understanding of color, negative space and other design concepts. Since you are looking for good visual design skills, it normally doesn’t matter whether the sample pages are from professional projects or personal websites. Candidates who have worked on high-profile websites are perhaps more experienced with a high-pressure environment.
