Working collaboratively with front-end developers, they design user interfaces that both meet customer needs and are aesthetically appealing, developing mock-ups and confirming the technical feasibility of designs. They utilize a variety of website elements—including graphics, animations, text, videos, and photos—and maintain communication with clients and company stakeholders to ensure the final website design fulfills requirements.
