Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.

Web designers use their creativity and technological skills to design websites. Take a look at what the role includes, what you’ll need to study and how you can secure a job.
You could start your career as a junior designer. As you gain skills and an awareness of what companies need from their websites, you could take on more responsibilities and specialise. Areas you might specialise in include graphics, information architecture, coding front-end development or interactive design.
It’s very common for web designers to work on a freelance or contractual basis and have more control over which clients they work with. Many set up their own web design businesses.
Employers often offer opportunities for training, where you could take a course online, in-house or at an external provider. Certificates and qualifications to work towards include the many on offer from companies like Adobe Digital Learning Services.
You’ll need to keep up to date with the latest technical developments and design trends. You can do this by following industry publications and blogs such as .net magazine and CSS Design Awards.
