Lack of knowledge: As you start with the web designing, s/he must be highly-skilled and learn new skills constantly, while at the same time you must have the knowledge of what you want to know. Having the know-how of CSS & HTML is required, but at the same time you must be well-versed with J-Query, framework, databases, frameworks and other skills. For the same you must have the guidance of a knowledgeable person who can direct you in a right way.

Good taste might correlate with your work: Just being a beginner doesn’t signify that you won’t be able to identify a great design and this is something you must learn in the initial phase itself. However, this can be quite challenging in case your good taste is combined with the website design skills and this might bring disappointment.

Website designing consists of a lot of things: As you start with web designing and think that you will learn it easily, then think again, as it’s not as simple as it appears. Web Design is a high-level skill and is a blend of many skills which needs to be learned and mastered. Alongside, you must learn to work with the grid alignment, usability, layout principles and much more. Just Photoshop has been a complex thing to handle.

Constant practice is necessary: As a web designer, you must improve your skills because of the personal projects and the client’s work. This will prepare you for greater challenges. However, what generally happens is that in the starting you don’t really have the client as thus the apt way to practice is setting challenges. You can start with the designing of the portfolio site.

Being knowledgeable is essential: You might think there are skills which are not necessary in order to become a web designer but they will prove significant. Learn skills such as icon design, logo design and the digital illustration to sharpen up yourself. Sometimes it happens that a web designer face issues due to some non-essential but useful skills.

Need to stand out: In this highly competitive market it is necessary to stand out from the rest and this is why web designers must keep learning the development and design. As you learn the different design types, keep experimenting with the same.
