Web and Digital Interface Designers
Computer and Mathematical
The job is planning how a site or digital product looks and works: layouts, navigation, and the way people move through screens. Prototypes and models get built, then tested for usability and compatibility across browsers and devices. User research and feedback shape revisions; designs are also checked against accessibility and web standards. Collaboration with developers, managers, and sometimes hosting staff keeps the visual plan, the code, and the live site aligned, and graphics or page content may be created along the way. It suits people who like visual problem-solving, talking through trade-offs, and refining interfaces until they are easy to use.

AI & the future of this role
