Design principles describes the set of guidelines in creating websites and computer programs that are visually and functionally ideal user experience. A good website is aesthetically pleasing, easy to navigate, and intuitive, and web designers use a specific series of principles to achieve this. These principles of design are particularly important when designing a website for use on a mobile device. Instruction in design principles includes coursework in graphic design, website layout, reading patterns, and content.

These design principles are regularly utilized by graphic designers, so having a solid background with this subject can be very beneficial in pursuing this career. Graphic designers create and develop online branding, marketing, and advertising campaigns for their clients to help grow and expand their business. The average pay for a graphic designer is $50,370 each year, and the estimated growth in this industry is three percent by 2028. Proficiency with design principles is also a sought after skill in website development. A web developer is responsible for designing, building, and developing websites in order to make them attractive and effective. The median salary for a web developer is $69,430, and job growth is expected to be 13 percent by 2028.
