Average Salary: £26,769 per year
Web designers are typically hired by small companies looking to boost their online presence with an attractive website. Commonly, designers create a website from scratch – based on customer needs and demands – and handle all details from look and design to functionality and user experience. Being a top web designer means mastering the relevant software, such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as web languages like JavaScript, CSS and HTML. As prior knowledge and experience are key, senior web designer roles can be very lucrative.
