Web Designer

Web designers are the kids whose work gets screenshotted. They score on craft: landing pages, marketing sites, portfolio sites that make other designers quietly rebuild their own. The pool is smaller than product design, and the flashy plays are the point. Taste is the stat here.

In real hiring, a web designer owns the surfaces people meet before they ever touch your product. The marketing site, the launch page, the campaign moment in the browser. The work mixes typography, layout, motion, and a cold-blooded sense of what converts, sitting somewhere between brand design and front-end development. Companies go shopping for one the day the homepage stops matching the product's ambition. The good ones never stay free agents for long.
