The order in which content is provided to the visitor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/improve-wordpress-on-page-seo\/\">Information architecture<\/a><\/strong>.

With prototyping, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-a-b-testing-tools\/\">user testing<\/a>, and persona building, they create set paths for different types of visitors to take upon visiting your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#9874;&#65039; Required skills<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User research and strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wireframing and prototyping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsive web design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaboration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-ux\/\">user experience<\/a> designer jobs also require you to have some level of skill in user interface design, things like layouts and typography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#128181; Salary expectations<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e1b2;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFBCC;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/Salaries\/UX-UI-Designer-Salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZipRecruiter<\/a>, the current average salary for a UX designer in the United States is $91,500. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.com\/en\/blog\/ux-design\/how-much-will-i-earn-as-a-ux-designer\/#average-ux-designer-salary-by-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CareerFoundry<\/a> lists average UX salaries as $85,000 in the US, C$72,000 in Canada, and &euro;40,000 in the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>UXDesignerSalaries.com offers a more complete set of numbers, looking at salaries based on both country and experience.

You might even qualify for them, but these are distinctly different jobs from web designer positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s take a look at the differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>web designer<\/strong> works on the layout and appearance of a website. They often build these layouts with tools like Adobe Illustrator, relying on the developer to implement the layout they&rsquo;ve created. They may also use code, but they&rsquo;re not typically responsible for more than basic functionality. There are three common types of web designer: user experience designers, user interaction designers, and visual designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>web developer<\/strong> works on the core structure of a website. They use code to give your site the full range of functionality you desire. There are three types of developers: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Back-end developers who work on the database and server. These developers are typically paid $81,161\/year according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.payscale.com\/research\/US\/Job=Back_End_Developer%2F_Engineer\/Salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Payscale<\/a>, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/back-end-web-developer-salary-SRCH_KO0,22.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a> lists a significantly higher average salary of $94,444.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front-end developers who focus on the elements of the site that visitors will interact with. These developers earn an average salary of $75,437 according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salary.com\/research\/salary\/recruiting\/back-end-developer-salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Payscale<\/a>, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/front-end-developer-salary-SRCH_KO0,19.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a> lists a notably higher average salary of $87,228.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full stack developers do both front-end and back-end development, and get paid an average of $78,936 according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.payscale.com\/research\/US\/Job=Full_Stack_Software_Developer\/Salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Payscale<\/a>, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/us-full-stack-developer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,2_IN1_KO3,23.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a> lists a notably higher average salary of $99,221.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that while the pay for web developers varies greatly, they can generally expect to be paid at least as much as a UX or UI designer, and significantly more than visual designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/web-design-and-development-difference\/\">key differences between web design and development<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-to-choose-the-right-web-designer-job\">How to choose the right web designer job<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Money is important, but it isn&rsquo;t the only thing that matters. There are several other factors you should consider when searching for a web designer job:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What type of work you <em>want<\/em> to do.<\/strong> Just because you have the skills to do more technical work doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. If the thing you enjoy most is graphic design and coding always feels like a chore, choosing a visual web designer job that only requires occasional use of HTML\/CSS may be better for your mental health than becoming a UX designer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hours.<\/strong> There are two things to consider here. First, you need to know if the job you&rsquo;re considering is a strict 40 hours per week or if you&rsquo;ll be expected to work overtime. Second, you&rsquo;ll want to know the precise hours you&rsquo;re expected to work, whether that&rsquo;s 8-4, 9-5, or something else altogether. You may also want to ask about flexibility for things like doctor&rsquo;s appointments and childcare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benefits.<\/strong> Quality health insurance that covers a significant percentage of things like dental, eyecare, and therapy\/other mental health support can save you a lot of money. If you have existing health concerns, a good insurance plan may well make up for a lower salary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remote working options.<\/strong> The option to work from home some of the time or all of it can be a major benefit for some workers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Company culture.<\/strong> Look for employee reviews on sites like GlassDoor or reach out to current employees through a site like LinkedIn to get an accurate view of what working for this company will be like.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opportunities for advancement.<\/strong> Many companies only have one web designer, so you might find yourself in a job with no room for advancement. This often makes it necessary to move on within a couple of years to find something that meets your growing skills and needs. If you want this job to be a long-term one, you&rsquo;re better off looking at bigger companies with multiple designers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The average web designer salary varies based on the type of design work you do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>UX designers working in the US can expect a salary of $75,000 &ndash; $120,000, depending on their experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UI designers working in the US can expect roughly the same range of income, between $78,000 and $120,000. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual web designers make significantly less, with averages around $60,000.
