Firstly, the HTML integrator works closely with the Web Project Manager and the Art Director. For example, together, they determine how the pages should be structured in terms of content, design (style and animations) and functionality.
The HTML integrator then translates the graphic design into computer language, both for web and mobile browsers. They must build each website page by placing all the necessary textual and graphic elements, such as images or videos.
The integrator must also ensure the compatibility between the various browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc.) while considering the standards in place (RWD, W3C, accessibility).
The expert must obviously master the HTML language, as well as other web design technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, SQL …
Further, the HTML integrator should be creative and have a strong sense of aesthetics. For instance, they must master graphic consistency, highlighting the website’s content in a marketing-savvy manner.
In addition to being as responsive as the websites they create, the integrator must know how to adapt to the client and other professionals. They are most often working within very varied teams: Web designer, Digital Project Manager, E-Commerce Manager, etc.
A web integrator can work for all kinds of businesses, being often brought in to work with multiple departments at once (marketing, IT, etc.).
The average daily rate ranges between €450 and €900.
In conclusion, a college degree in IT can be an excellent steppingstone to this technical position. However, it is advisable to complement that degree with dedicated licenses and certifications. After a few years of experience, an integrator will have the opportunity to move towards positions related to development, design, or even consulting.
