What is website, what types of work, and what is Web art?

More and more friends asked in QQ or QQ groups, "What Do website art engineers need?" and "How do they learn webpage art "...... Or you may be new to this course. I don't want to answer the same question again. I wrote this article to talk about what a webpage artist is and what a webpage artist is.

First, let's briefly talk about the types of work required for non-grass-roots business websites, including project manager (Planning), uidesign (overall), web design (designing specific pages), database, and programmer (completing functions), webpage artist (page output), tester, server administrator, website administrator, etc. The following briefly describes the development process. First, the boss (investors and demanders) has an idea to build a website, and then finds a project manager. This role is critical for the project manager, it has a direct impact on the level and efficiency of website construction. It is necessary to understand the technical characteristics and processes of each link and have the basic ability to understand, sublimate, and expand the requirements of the boss, generally, the project manager selects or recruits other types of work. The UI here refers to the website interface design, especially the interactive experience, which will directly affect the website's success or failure, such as the place of the Registration button, menu or navigation, and so on, the UI here does not need to understand the relevant computer software. You only need to use your mind and express your ideas. Generally, the project manager and the boss meet to discuss Website planning, and sometimes bring the UI to the project manager.

When the project manager determines the development environment, if the work types are separated, the server administrator starts to prepare the server and set up a test environment. If they work together, they can build a test environment in the LAN.

After the overall functions of the website are basically determined, the database and web page design starts. Sometimes, the database planning needs to listen to the opinions of programmers. After a part of the database planning is completed, the programmers can start work, the main task of programmers is to implement the website functions and interaction modes expressed by the Project Manager and UI. web designers use FW or PS software based on the UI concept to design pages, of course, the specific details may assist with other software, such as using AI or CDR for logo or some small icons, and using Fl for flash, after a webpage is designed, the webpage artist can start work. The main task of the webpage artist is to express the webpage designed by the webpage designer in HTML format (CSS and Div layout are usually used ).

So how can the programmer program be combined with the HTML of the webpage artist? This part of work is mainly done by programmers or web page artists. If it is done by programmers, it needs to be optimized as necessary; if the programmer is completed by a webpage artist, the variable part specification should be clearly stated before the webpage artist starts work (but under the strict division of labor, the webpage artist cannot access the program and can only access the variable Specification ). The artist understands that these specifications should be made before the layout of the page. In fact, there should be enough preparation work before various types of work start-up work. The so-called "cutting the wrong firewood" means to reduce efficiency and delay the construction period.

After the program functions are completed, the tester starts to test the website according to the various possible conditions planned in advance, and debug the program according to the test results until they are correct. Finally, the server administrator uploads the completed website. At this time, the server environment should be changed from the test environment to the official running environment, and corresponding security settings should be made for the server. After the website is running, the website administrator starts to work.

With regard to permissions, we have just said that under a strict division of labor, web page artists cannot access the program, and other personnel, such as the UI, web designers, and website administrators, cannot access the program. If the project is relatively large, every programmer cannot access the programs written by other programmers. In addition, other personnel except the server administrator cannot access the server, except the boss.

In projects with unclear division of labor, there is no such job as UI. The work of UI is actually completed by the Project Manager or web designer. Databases and programmers are usually one person or a group of people, sometimes the webpage design and the webpage artist are the same person or a group of people. Sometimes there are no dedicated testers. The testing work is conducted by the idle time of various types of work or by the company's business personnel (or Party A's personnel). However, professional testers are efficient and comprehensive. Sometimes there is no dedicated server administrator, and this part of work is also done by other types of work, such as project managers or programmers. Sometimes programmers are both project managers. If programmers are familiar with Web art (for example, programmers are familiar with CSS and Div), the part of Web art is usually done by programmers, this is probably the case when the function is mixed with the page.
