Web Designers are skilled resources that create content for web sites. The term web designer was originally used to describe someone who developed the entire site. However, with today's complex business web site, multiple skills are needed that are generally beyond one persons ability. Teams of people with different skills develop higher quality sites.

The term web designer, in its modern context, describes someone who is responsible for the creative, visual aspects of a site. Successful designers will typically posses a mix of marketing, graphic design, and technical skills.
