Website Design

Web designers field a wide range of responsibilities, from conceptualizing the overall layout to implementing design elements and ensuring a seamless user experience. The first task of a web designer is to thoroughly understand the client's requirements and objectives for the website. This involves conducting meetings or interviews with clients to gather information about their brand, target audience, desired functionalities, and design preferences. By comprehensively understanding the client's vision, a web designer can tailor the website to meet their specific needs and expectations.

While web designers primarily focus on the visual aspects of website creation, many are proficient in front-end development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They translate their design concepts into code, building the structure, layout, and styling of web pages to bring the design to life. Web designers collaborate closely with web developers to ensure that the design is implemented accurately and that the website functions smoothly across different browsers and devices.

Web designers optimize the website's performance by minimizing file sizes, optimizing images, leveraging browser caching, and employing other techniques to reduce page load times. Before launching the website, web designers conduct thorough testing to identify and rectify any issues or bugs that may affect its functionality or user experience. This includes testing the website's compatibility across different browsers and devices, checking for responsive design issues, validating code for errors, and ensuring proper functionality of interactive elements such as forms and navigation menus.

Programming Languages

  • JavaScript: A versatile language primarily used for front-end web development, but also popular for server-side development (Node.js) and mobile app development (React Native).
  • Python: Known for its simplicity, readability, and versatility, Python is used for web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and more.
  • Java: A widely-used language for enterprise software development, Android app development, web applications, and large-scale systems.
  • C: An essential language for systems programming, embedded systems, game development, and low-level programming where performance is critical.
  • C++: Building on C, C++ adds object-oriented programming features and is used in game development, high-performance applications, system software, and resource-constrained environments.
  • C#: Developed by Microsoft, C# is integral to the .NET framework and used for Windows applications, web applications, and games using Unity game engine.
  • PHP: Despite criticism, PHP remains dominant for server-side web development, powering content management systems like WordPress and e-commerce platforms like Magento.
  • TypeScript: A superset of JavaScript, TypeScript adds static typing and is popular for large-scale web applications, especially with frameworks like Angular and React.
  • Swift: Introduced by Apple, Swift is used for iOS and macOS app development, known for its modern syntax, safety features, and performance.
  • SQL: Essential for managing and querying relational databases, SQL is used by developers and data professionals worldwide for data manipulation and retrieval.
  • Ruby: Known for its simplicity and productivity, Ruby is used in web development, especially with the Ruby on Rails framework, which emphasizes convention over configuration.
  • Go (Golang): Developed by Google, Go is known for its simplicity, performance, and concurrency support, making it suitable for scalable web applications and microservices.
  • R: Primarily used for statistical computing and data analysis, R is popular among data scientists, statisticians, and researchers for its extensive library of statistical and graphical techniques.
  • Kotlin: An official language for Android app development, Kotlin offers modern features, interoperability with Java, and concise syntax, enhancing developer productivity.
  • Swift: Introduced by Apple, Swift is used for iOS and macOS app development, known for its modern syntax, safety features, and performance.

Networking

Work with a variety of types of networks including LANs, WANs, GANs and MANs; determine network capacity requirements and ensure that the infrastructure can handle it; monitor and administrate the network; troubleshoot problems, VoIP, etc.; monitor network usage and performance, devise network tests and evaluate them; incorporate any new business requirements so as to upgrade overal network architecture; do any necessary cabling, routers, and install and configure hardware and software; follow or recommend a budget for projects; choose or recommend the appropriate network components; sometimes report to a CTO (Chief Technology Officer).

This role typically analyzes an organization’s computer systems and procedures; makes recommendations for process improvement; interacts with partners/ vendors and with programmers or programmer / analysts. Educational background might be technical, though this is more of an analytical than technical role that is focused on the business aspects of technology, including: analyzing the cost of system changes; the impact on employees; potential project timelines. Needs to interact with department managers on IT requirements; incorporate feedback from both internal and external users into business requirements documents; incorporate feedback from designers; contribute technical requirements; advise technical teams on their and their technology’s role in the organization; provide guidance to programmer / developers with use cases.

Database Administration

Typical responsibilities / skills: maintain an organization’s databases; design and implement databases, in coordination with a Data Architect; schedule and run regular database backups; recover lost data; implement and monitor database security; ensure data integrity; identify the needs of users and provide access to data stakeholders, data analysts and other users, as necessary. DBAs can have broad or specialized duties. E.g., divide tasks up: System DBA upgrades software for bug fixes and new features. Application DBA writes and maintains code and queries for one or more databases in an organization.

Follow an action plan for any necessary recovery; document access of specific databases for developers in other departments; work with logical and physical models of data; understand principles of distributed data, data redundancy; incorporate database updates as per stakeholder requirements; produce reports on analyzed business intelligence data; write database queries and complementary computer code to support internal applications, and which are possibly shared with developers in other departments. This may require knowing “back end” programming or scripting languages such as Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, etc., as well as knowledge of both traditional RDBMSes (Relational Database Management Systems) and newer NoSQL databases such as Cassandra, CouchDB, MongoDB, Hadoop and others.
