Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites.

The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization.

Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all.

The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up.

Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development.

Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.

In business and engineering, new product development (NPD) covers the complete process of bringing a new product to market.

New product development is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale.

The product can be tangible (something physical which one can touch) or intangible (like a service, experience, or belief).

A good understanding of customer needs and wants, of the competitive environment and of the nature of the market represents the top required factor for the success of a new product.

Reliability engineering is engineering that emphasizes dependability in the lifecycle management of a product.

Dependability, or reliability, describes the ability of a system or component to function under stated conditions for a specified period of time.

Reliability may also describe the ability to function at a specified moment or interval of time (Availability).

Reliability engineering represents a sub-discipline within systems engineering.

Reliability is theoretically defined as the probability of success, as the frequency of failures; or in terms of availability, as a probability derived from reliability, testability and maintainability.

Testability, Maintainability and maintenance are often defined as a part of "reliability engineering" in Reliability Programs.

Reliability plays a key role in the cost-effectiveness of systems.

Quality control, or QC for short, is a process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production.

ISO 9000 defines quality control as "A part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements".
