Web design and front-end in one, is it worth it?

Question

HTML

It so happened that I am almost equally inclined towards the humanities and the exact sciences. In the same way, I am equally good at drawing designs for websites and typesetting them, but, of course, I need to pump myself further in these directions, because at this stage of development I am just a multi-armed multi-legged who can do both, and the second and third, but at an average level.
This is enough for a small income, but inside there is dissatisfaction from not fulfilling: both personal (I can do better) and financial.
Googled foreign sites, in the West the concept of a web designer includes both a graphic designer (who draws only graphics) and a front-end specialist. At least, there are a lot of such vacancies.
Will this be relevant in the CIS?
Are strong all-in-one specialists in demand? Well, not everything, okay, let it be HTML + CSS + JS + Photoshop + Illustrator at least for a start.
Is the game worth the candle if I really feel that I can realize all this in myself?

Answer 1

There is such a thing as a full-stack developer.
how much demand in the CIS is not known, but in the world they have enough work.

Answer 2

In the CIS, I don't know, but in Russia a web designer and a front-end developer are different people. Once I was at the same crossroads and preferred to write code.

Answer 3

front-end is if you still write logic, scripts, animations, all sorts of requests.
To do this, it is desirable to know some kind of JS framework (jQuery is not a framework).
But even without this, it is very much in demand.

Answer 4

Designers now must be able to typeset. Frontend is a deeper concept, so either a good layout designer, or a good frontender, or a not-so-master-of-all-trades

Answer 5

Usually those who can do one thing, but very well, are paid more than those who can do everything, although there are always exceptions.

Answer 6

If by frontend you mean HTML/CSS, then you should know them well anyway if you call yourself a web designer. Preferably the basics of JS with jQuery.
But strong JS is no longer needed, this is a completely different profession.

Answer 7

A designer with layout skills in the West is practically the standard, so I think the game is worth the candle. But, in general, I believe that if the soul lies in both, then it is necessary to deal with both design and development. Then you can already grow to a front-end engineer or to a full-stack, if you delay

Answer 8

need to know. but you need to specialize in one direction
