“However, there is a big difference between what a graphic designer does and what you do as a web designer and what a graphic designer or web designer does.
Isabella Di Fabio Both web designers and graphic designers rely on creativity and artistic skill to create designs that customers like. A graphic designer must be able to demonstrate creative excellence with a passion for design.
In both cases, both graphic and web design are intended to encourage consumers to make a purchase. However, in web design, consumers are not only viewers of the design, but also users. Another advantage of web design is that the graphic design does not react to the responsive interaction between user and design. With a responsive interface, a web designer will not touch the code in the same way as a graphic designer.
Isabella Di Fabio As mentioned above, graphic designers are more involved in the design process than it seems. While most of us can create layouts and wireframes for our websites and we can also design the graphics, a web designer cannot rely on a graphic designer to create the graphics. Although graphic design has some merit for graphics, it is not as important as it may appear in web design.”

“Most sites need to prevent breadth — many many pages that are organized cohesively. A site that presents a single webpage is unlikely to present sufficient depth of content to justify extensive SEO.”
The SCO trick is to draw traffic with desirable content, and to ’seduce’ the traffic into portions of the site that may not directly have anything to do with the content — this is the ultimate goal of the SEO campaign.”
