A Web Designer, is not the same as a Graphic Designer

It is a general misconception that among those looking for website designers in Nigeria that graphic designers, owing to their computer graphics skills, can also be web designers and vice versa. While this might be true in theory, there are very few professionals that bridge the gap between print-based projects and web-based projects on a regular basis.

The reality is that web designing is a completely separate field of designing, having its own flare and expertise. These are two different mediums and so the target audience and objectives of a websites are entirely different from a piece of graphic design. There is always the possibility that a graphic designers advances to the level of a web designer once

he learns certain technical skills, but it's important not to assume that a rockstar graphic designer will instantly be successful when designing for the web.

So when don't assume the shomolu guy who did your flyer design can also design your website. Get a professional website design company to do that.
