Quality Web Design – Website Design

I have recently decided that I would like to become either a web designer or web developer…I spend quite a bit of time online and really would like to learn how to build my own website. I am thinking of taking a few courses at the Art institute of Washington so I can get a diploma in web design. I suppose I just wanted to ask if it would be worth while for me to do so? I see many job listing around the area for web designers so I wouldn’t have a problem finding work if I have a good enough portfolio but is web design a good career path to choose?

Web design and development is a good field right now. Most corporate jobs would go to people with four year degrees with a web design certification, but if you’re good enough, you might be able to start your own business and find clients without a degree. Most clients would expect you to do both the design and the development, and provide or arrange for the hosting – they’ll expect one-stop shopping for their site.

Good luck.

I have made professional websites in the past, and I really enjoy it. I’m considering going into the field. But before I do, I’d like to know if I can support myself on a web designer’s salary. What is the job like, and generally what do you make?

You can make a pretty decent living. Of course this is assuming that you have a degree and/or substantial work experience with seasoned portfolio. It will also help to be able dabble into a programming language. (ASP/ColdFusion, etc.) You won’ t start making really good salaries until at least 5 years exp.

Pay also depends on self-confidence and applying for jobs that pay nice salaries and have other benefits (401K, etc.) that may require more intense work instread of settling for a startup company where the pay is low.
Good Luck.
