INTRODUCTION

There’s no specific definition of a “junior designer,”

but it’s generally used for someone who’s just starting
out in web design. Basically, it just means you’re
new to web design and probably don’t have a ton of
experience yet.

Often (and in this guide), “junior” is used

interchangeably with “entry-level.” It means that
you are starting with fresh skills that you’ve honed
independently and on smaller projects, but you
probably don’t have much experience working on a
design team...yet!

And while we tend to think it’s more polite to call

someone a “beginner web designer” or say they are
just starting out, job listings tend to use “junior,” so
that’s what we’ll stick to.
