Clue explained
A spider is a web designer in the literal sense: many spiders spin silk into webs, often to trap prey. The clue gives “designer” the job of creating a web, then uses “web” in its natural, silken sense rather than the internet one. Not every spider catches food in a classic web; some hunt actively or use silk in other ways.
