Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. The term web design is normally used to describe the
design process relating to the front-end design of a website including writing markup. Web design
partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are
expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating markup then they are
also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
