A day in the life of a Junior Web Designer

Building a Web Page

Web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing the code (HTML mark-up) that displays the site in a browser.

A Junior Web Designer will spend a lot of time writing and editing HTML. HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) tells the browser what to display (Chrome/Safari/Firefox/Internet Explorer/Opera are the main browsers).

Basically this means that you are designing how someone views web page content in a browser.

Some of the most visited websites in the world

The first thing to understand is that a web page is formed of two main areas in the HTML.

The head (marked by an opening <head> tag and a closing </head> tag) is where the elements that are meant to be read by computers, not the user, usually sit. These may include things like telling the browser where the fonts are that it needs to display the designed site or telling the browser what language the web page is in.

The body (denoted by an opening <body> tag and a closing </body> tag) is where the code that dictates what appears on the screen usually sits.

Drag the elements below to the <head> or <body>

<head>

</head>

<body>

</body>

Good. That's the basics, now let's move on to something a little more interesting.
