Web Designer Test

When looking to fill a web designer position, it's important to make sure that the candidate has the skills necessary to do the job. A web designer skills test can help ensure that the candidate is a good fit for the position.

  • What is a web designer skills test?

    A web designer is responsible for the creative side of making a website. They create layouts for pages, crafting the visual elements that reflect a company’s branding and their design ideas and aesthetics, and then put them into action to create a user-friendly and intuitive website.

    When recruiting for a web designer, the skills test can be administered early in the recruitment process to narrow down a large candidate pool by assessing the skills, knowledge, and competencies that are important for a web designer to be successful.

    It is simple to administer to a large number of applicants at the same time, and the online test produces results that can be used as objective data to choose the right applicants to take to the next stage of the recruitment process.

    When hiring for a web designer, you may be able to get an understanding of the qualifications that they have achieved and the experience that they have from previous workplaces from an application form or a resume, but the skills that really count are not as easy to ascertain through a paper sift.

    The web designer skills test is designed to assess a candidate on their ability to design a website, adhering to design principles like branding and typography.

    They need to have an understanding of HTML and CSS programming languages and software as well as knowledge of content management systems to implement new websites and pages.

    The test focuses on skills like attention to detail, teamwork and communication, as well as role-specific knowledge of hardware, software and operating systems.

    The candidates complete the web developer test online and in their own time, and the recruitment team receives the results as data that can be used to choose the right prospective employees to take forward to the interview stage.

    Every candidate answers the same questions, which means that the results are objective and unbiased, showing which people have the right level of skills, aptitudes and competencies to be successful.

How our test measures web designer skills

Test questions are designed to assess industry-specific technical skills, soft skills, aptitude and suitable personality dimensions. Our data-driven approach provides results that enable you to determine how suited is a candidate for the role.

Depending on the type of question, the format of the test may vary. Multiple-choice questions are used to measure aptitude, technical skills and soft skills, while agreement on a Likert scale assesses suitable personality dimensions. Skills tests ensure that candidates are being evaluated in a precise and impartial manner, their results demonstrating the true knowledge and potential of each test taker.

The characteristics required to be a web designer were determined by looking at the skills and abilities listed in the US Department of Labor’s O*NET database, which collects data from professionals in various fields.

O*NET is the largest database of its kind, providing detailed information about occupations and the requirements for each role.

Our team of I/O psychologists and psychometrics worked closely with subject-matter experts to create an extensive question bank that can be used to test multiple candidates. We also conducted rigorous field testing with a representative sample of candidates to ensure that the questions were reliable and valid.

Test scores are averaged together to give an overall score. The average score is compared to other candidates' scores to ensure there is no bias toward certain candidates.

Our web designer test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.

Web Designer Test FAQs

What are the qualities I should look for in a web designer?

A web designer needs to have a good eye for design as well as a deep understanding of the importance of user experience, but they also need to be good at project management, teamwork, and communication.

What tests can I use to test a web designer’s coding skills?

Web designers tend to work mostly in CSS and HTML, although some focus on using content management systems rather than writing actual code. If you want to test your web designer candidates on their coding skills, you should focus on front-end programming languages like HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

Yes, of course. You can try the test for free by signing up for a free trial.
