Let’s imagine that you turned to a web studio for the development of your website.
After discussing all the nuances of the project with the project manager, you need to agree on a developed specialist design.
Well, and after all the proposed designer’s work come together in a single finished puzzle, which will suit you, the masters will do …

Well, well, really, what will they do?
And here we come to the layout.
What is this layout of the site?

In fact, layout design is just a set of images, lying dead weight, if they do not “revive”. The process of bringing them to life is HTML layout. In other words, this translation of the layout from the graphic editor into the browser.

Typing html pages is not like playing ping pong. It is a complicated process requiring attention and patience, which affects the correct display of the site on different gadgets, which in turn affects the ranking in search results.

With the work of a codifier, as well as with any other activity, there are a number of misconceptions:

It’s a programmer’s job.
Let’s face it: leave the programmer alone! He has enough work of his own, and if this specialist will spend his time on other tasks, can you imagine how much longer your project will take?

In fact, it is different work, and that’s it.

It’s boring.
In fact, this is another myth. Although the typesetter works with code, he must be at least a little creative, because he has to deal partly with finalizing the design. And what’s more: because a specialist works with code, in addition to a good imagination, he is required to be patient and diligent.

It is expensive
The price of such services is no higher than the cost of services of a programmer or other webmaster.

The price depends on the project, the level of training of a specialist and the company that offers the services of such a specialist. It is calculated individually, taking into account all the features of your resource.

What should the codifier know.

To be a codifier is to be a Google translator between the designer and the programmer. Indeed, such a specialist must understand the basics of design and composition, as well as understand the code.

The developer takes what the designer drew and translates it into a language that the programmer understands: he describes the designer’s layout with the help of tags, so that this layout can then be represented as a sequence of these tags.

WHAT DOES THE LAYOUT DESIGNER WORK WITH?
Graphic Editor.
This is where the specialist works with graphics;

Text editor.
It is used to write the code of the web page;

Browser
Necessary in order to check the correctness of the display of designed pages.

The main task of a good specialist – to make it so that the user is comfortable to work with your site, no matter what device or gadget he is viewing it.

Therefore, there are several types of layout that solve all these problems:

Adaptive .
It takes into account the type of device from which visitors to your site will sit and makes sure that the resource pages will be adequately displayed on a cell phone, and on a normal computer.

Block layout
This layout, as well as tabular – just a way of arranging the elements on the screen, which used to be used by layout designers in the distant past, when there was no “flex” and “grid.

Cross-browser
Needed for adequate display site on all popular browsers. Users of your resource can use any popular browser and view pages of web services without interruption.

Mobile
This is part of the adaptive layout of the site along with the desktop one.

Semantic
Pursues the goal of a logical and consistent hierarchy of pages.

Do not trust the layout of an artisanal specialist, who is also a programmer and designer in one package.

Well, it does not happen. Our studio believes in the fact that the developer should not disperse his talents in different directions, but concentrate on one thing.

We recommend choosing a studio with a united team of developers, where everyone does what he likes and can do. This approach gives the best result.
