What knowledge do you need to make a website?

What you need to master in web design (generally speaking, software is just a tool)

Among all the recruitment related to WEB development, this position has the highest frequency, but for different employers, this position also has different positioning. First of all, let's take a look at the following contrasting job advertisements:

Network Company A: Proficient in DreamWeaver and other web page making software, able to manually modify the source code, familiar with PHOTOSHOP and other graphic design software. Have artistic skills.

A Network Company B: Graduated from art design major, with more than five years working experience in related major (advertising company, web design and production company, studio), proficient in all kinds of popular graphic design, animation, web system technology, website maintenance experience is preferred, and the recruiter is preferred!

A network company C: College degree or above in computer science, proficient in WINDOWSNTSQLSERVER, FOXPRO, JAVA, VB, ASP and CGI. Well paid.

The above recruitment is the most representative three selected from hundreds of messages all over the country, and the positioning of web page production can be said to be different: A focuses on writing web pages; B is more inclined to require candidates to have a certain level of artistic skills or above; C is the most demanding. It is better to find an experienced programmer than to find a web page. It is conceivable that people who can get that position will never engage in simple web page making, and I am afraid that the time spent writing background programs accounts for most.

From the above, we can see that there is no unified standard to regulate the profession of "web page making" in the current talent market, but the statistical results may explain some problems: A/B/C=5/3/2. Among them, A is the most demanding recruitment type. Therefore, we set the work of making web pages here on a standard similar to A-in other words, the work of making web pages is to make web pages according to certain specifications, or to build a website with low background requirements. However, the general large companies will not set up such positions, and the requirements for comprehensive quality will be stronger. But for friends who want to enter the WEB development industry but lack experience, starting from this position is the best choice.

The first step to become a qualified network producer, you must have a deep understanding of the Internet; Secondly, you must be able to understand and manually modify the HTML source code-this is more important than learning to use visual web page making software, because no matter how good the web page making software is, it will add a lot of unnecessary content to the generated page, so it is better to do it manually. Then there is CSS, an important tool to unify the whole page style, which is absolutely indispensable for making beautiful pages.

With the above-mentioned abilities, you may have found a place in a fledgling internet company by skillfully using some popular visual web page making software, but the best outcome may be to successfully pass the probation period. In order to do it better and for a longer time, you need more skills and knowledge-which is also necessary for a higher level-graphics processing software such as ——PHOTOSHOP must be used, and necessary pictures are the first step to make a beautiful web page. The study will be deeper and deeper. Javascript or VBSCRIPT is a good tool to enhance the interactivity and aesthetics of web pages, so you must be familiar with it as much as possible. Sometimes it is necessary to use animation to enrich the content of web pages. Using GIF pictures is an option, but FLASH is more professional and convenient.

Having all the above skills does not mean that you have become a qualified web producer, it is just a series of tools, and web production, or the establishment of a website, is an all-round test of creativity, which is why A and B emphasize the need for art foundation in recruitment. Although large companies usually have special artists who are responsible for the style and image processing of websites, it is very necessary for many friends who can only choose small and medium-sized companies to have various talents. Friends who want to engage in this profession or are already engaged in this profession should read more books on graphic design and layout design and learn to draw by hand-many companies require practitioners in this profession to have this ability. (Although most companies that ask for such positions want to save the cost of hiring artists) It is foreseeable that the positions of web page production will gradually be dominated by artists with basic art or professional skills, and will be merged with occupations similar to those in Art editor. In order to be more competitive before that, I suggest you either develop in the direction of Art editor or study hard to become a network developer.

In case C, the employer wants the person who holds this position to be responsible for all or part of the page writing and back-end maintenance of a website. If you don't pay too much attention to career orientation when recruiting, it means that the company is still in the stage of entrepreneurship and needs help from all parties. Usually the latter situation is mostly. If you know something about computers and networks, you can see that employers are at a loss from the recruitment selected in this paper-what do you do with FOXPRO after using the database SQLSERVER? Not to mention that only a college degree is required-this is not a disrespect for the majority of college friends. If you are really familiar with the knowledge listed by the company, your education is unlikely to stay at the junior college level.
