Okay i'm wondering if anyone is able to help me summarize the most important duties and responsibilities of a a "Web Designer". I need it for my powerpoint.
Here is the info I have gathered.
- Liaising closely with a customer or client at the design stage and finding the answers to questions about why the site is needed, who the target audience will be, who the leading competitors are, etc;
- Producing a design that will be attractive to the target user, has a logical navigation system and has all the features required;
- Writing web pages in a combination of codes, such as HTML and XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, ActionScript, ColdFusion, DotNet, Flash, or using code generated programs, such as Dreamweaver and Visual Studio;
- Deciding on how images and other material will be optimized and presented for the web;
- Testing the site for functionality in different browsers and at different resolutions;
- Fixing errors.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much.
Bullet points I see are

Construction of Code
combination of code
design software needed
Presentation

Long term maintenance as browsers change.
You could use Bobpursley's "bullet points" in your Powerpoint, and then elaborate on them in your presentation.
In my opinion, you have too much information in your summary to fit comfortably on Powerpoint slides.
The duties and responsibilities of a Web Designer can be summarized as follows:
1. Understanding client requirements: A web designer needs to liaise closely with the client to understand their needs, target audience, competition, and overall goals for the website.
2. Designing an attractive layout: Based on the client's requirements, a web designer creates a visual design that is appealing to the target audience. This includes considering the color scheme, typography, graphics, and overall aesthetics of the website.
3. Creating web pages: Using a combination of coding languages such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, ActionScript, ColdFusion, DotNet, Flash, or code generated programs like Dreamweaver and Visual Studio, a web designer builds the actual web pages that make up the website.
4. Optimizing images and content: Web designers decide how images and other media should be optimized and presented on the website, taking into consideration factors such as file size, loading speed, and visual impact.
5. Testing and debugging: It is the responsibility of a web designer to test the website's functionality across different browsers, resolutions, and devices to ensure a smooth user experience. They also identify and fix any errors or bugs that may occur during testing.
By including these key points, you can summarize the important duties and responsibilities of a web designer for your PowerPoint presentation.
