What webデザイナー(web制作会社) do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

企業、学校、官公庁などがインターネット上に設けたWebサイトの企画・デザイン等を行う。
 Webサイトは、広報、広告宣伝やマーケティング、商品販売など様々な目的で活用されている。
 まず、依頼者の要望を聞いて開設するサイトの目的を明確にし、閲覧者の動向を踏まえて、どのようなサイトを制作するのかといったコンセプトを決め、あわせて開発スケジュールや運営体制などを決定する。次に、コンセプトに基づいて画面のデザインやレイアウト、提供する機能など細かい内容を決める。デザイン作成ソフトなどを用いて各ページに掲載するコメントや画像を作成する。
 場合によってはプログラム言語を用いたサイトの制作にかかわることもあるが、Webデザイナーの仕事の中心はデザインである。
 サイトの仮完成後には動作確認を行って使いやすさを確認し、必要な修正を加えて、Webサイトをオープンする。
 小さなサイトの場合は一人ですべてをこなすこともあるが、企業などが作成する数百ページにも及ぶサイトの場合などは、ページのデザイン、画像の作成、サイト制作の進行管理など、分業して制作を行う。また、写真家、コピーライター、プログラマーなど他の職種と分業を行うことも多い。

◇ よく使う道具、機材、情報技術等
 イラスト、デザイン作成ソフト(Illustrator、Clip Studio、Figma等)、画像等編集ソフト(Photoshop、GIMP等)、Web画面作成のソフトウェア(HTML、CSSを含む)、パソコン
