Further training for web developers and web designers

More and more companies are using the Internet to sell their products and services. A professional online presence is therefore of great importance. An appealing website or a user-friendly online store are often the first point of contact for potential customers. If the first impression is disappointing, many customers will quickly leave the website.

The work of web designers and web developers is therefore particularly important. It significantly influences the sales development of digital touchpoints and thus the future of a company.

Nowadays, there is much more to a website than an aesthetic design. User guidance, search engine optimization and interactivity are also important factors. Web designers must be able to take all these aspects into account when designing websites. Web developers, on the other hand, develop lively websites that meet the needs of the client and the user.

As the industry is constantly evolving, the tasks and requirements for these professions are becoming ever more comprehensive. The demand for appropriately trained experts is increasing.

Entry and tasks in the areas of web design and web development

There is currently no traditional training or study program in this field in Germany. Many web designers and developers are career changers. They have learned their skills independently, completed further training in programming or have already worked as software developers in other areas.

Web designers have good knowledge of digital media design and use HTML and CSS to create websites. Most web designers are proficient in programs from the Adobe Creative Suite, such as Photoshop, XD or Illustrator. Using HTML and CSS as well as basic skills in JavaScript, web designers translate creative concepts into an appealing website design.

Web developers are also proficient in HTML and CSS. However, they focus much more on scripting languages such as JavaScript or PHP. They use these scripting languages to design and develop web-based software solutions for different end devices. They program, connect databases and work together with web designers and other specialists.

At GFN, you can prepare your entry into these professions with web design training courses. Subsequently, further training in the programming languages JavaScript or PHP is an option.

Why you should learn PHP

PHP is a relatively easy-to-learn scripting language for the World Wide Web. It is an open source standard that is supported by many content management systems, frameworks and web servers.

For example, PHP is the basis for the WordPress content management system. This is used to operate around one third of all websites worldwide. Most e-commerce systems are also based on PHP.

PHP is one of the most important programming languages for web developers worldwide. Its great advantage: the interaction with MySQL, the language for databases. This collaboration makes very extensive scripts and websites possible. The demand for PHP developers is correspondingly high.

Why you should learn JavaScript

JavaScript is an excellent starting point for web developers. It is one of the most important programming languages for the World Wide Web and the entire area of front-end development.

JavaScript allows you to customize the content of the Internet in real time. Hardly any website today can do without JavaScript – even those created with PHP. JavaScript is very popular because the combination of JavaScript with HTML5 and CSS3 opens up a wide range of new web development possibilities.

More and more JavaScript frameworks are being created with web applications. As a result, demand for JavaScript developers is expected to remain strong. Even today, most job offers for web developers are aimed at frontend, backend or full-stack JavaScript developers.
