WEB DESIGNERS are graphic artists who create the look of a web site. (It is called ‘the front end’). They use applications like Adobe Dreamweaver and Photoshop.

WEB DEVELOPERS develop applications and functionality for the Internet using code like HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. (This is called ‘the back end.)

Most Web designers do learn a little code but for sophisticated websites you would need to train as a Developer.

Subject Requirements

——————-

Life Science would be a good subject if you are attracted to it.

History – since it is generally about people, might be useful.

BUT, the most important thing is that you need to have at least 70% pass in most of your subjects. (They say a minimum of 60% but this is a hugely competitive area so you want to make sure you are accepted.) Remember that work at school gets more difficult every year so try to start in Grade 9 with 90% pass mark!

What will also benefit you is if you do related volunteer / community work in your school years.
