Never to long ago I discovered this great internet site with listings involving salaries and categories to select, but it was only regarding web jobs for instance flash designers or even webmasters etc. I believe the site ended up being mostly flash. I forgot to copy the link and I would like to check out even more stuff. If anyone possesses any clue what site it really is or another quality site which has salary info by means of job, region, for example. I would thankyou. Thanks, John
I haven’t acquired a clue spend money on this sort involving website, but ther several threads lurking around that start this subject.

Those posts usually are not what I are lookin for. I am not interested in things know about charge for sites and such, I am wondering about developers who benefit companies. I just wish some average salaries for web-designers, developers, programmers, for example. based on expertise, skills, etc. Thanks for any quick response although.
The problem is that a mean salary for developer is almost crappy. You have much too much of your deviation.
You might have those bringing inside $200k+/yr, and in that case those charging $20/layout.
POST wouldn’t say there may be a " standard" value. It’s all about the quality of the work, that potential for profit (on the buyer’s end), and the need for the website.
Ahhhhhh certainly, another one on the prevailing myth believers in which stable, 9-5, frequent, 6-figure jobs exist in web page design.
Certainty Check: most web page design " positions" usually are not salaried. They’re ordinarily contracted out, subcontraced, whatever. If you would like a " job" per se, then you’re barking up the wrong tree. It’s a new freelance, business environment.
Very genuine.. I was one of those guys that was looking for a clock punching, saleried job working for a joe company, inc. as their particular ‘web designer’. However the more I got into the buisness greater I relized that is like trying to fit a round peg in the square hole. It just dont operate. But the jobs are out there, trust me I understand of alot of companies trying to hire a webdesigner fulltime. But if you desperately want to get serious you could have two options, work/startup a firm that does outright web design, or maybe freelance.
So far as salery, ive seen it utilize the 20, 000 : 50, 000.
Notice: Fulltime webdesigners tend to turn into jack coming from all trades.
Dat’s just what I’m talkin’ ’bout.
No joke that they had me doing from news-letters, postcards, press-releases, mailers, magazine ad’s, field digital photography training, logo re-design, content/technical writing, sign creating. I even moved business furniture!!! I didnt even obtain sutible office. It was a converted sortage closet that i had to share while using servers. Oh dont ignore part-time IT male. And I has been offically re-named the " web guy"! POST didn’t even have got my good identify!!
Once you work for some sort of compnay, you focus on THEIR terms, not yours.
In Britain WHEN I haven’t seen a web design job choosing much more in comparison with 15k (around $26k), averaging with regards to 12k (around $21k). Not much at all really.
This scenario isn’t necessarily a negative thing though. It poses two pretty big advantages:
- Competition for work will weed out the particular less serious.
- People like me will be able to hire freelance initially considering that the " talent pool" is so large out there, whereas in plenty of environments I’d have to hire someone full-time.
I are unable to honestly say I’m against this dilemma.
For probably the most part, web design is done by hobbiests anyhow. I have met several really serious, full time adult site designers in my living, but normally they are just out regarding college, or even in buying it, and just want several extra bucks carrying out something they take pleasure in, on top of various other career. That’s why receiving free help/code out of people (Like that can be done on this forum) is very easy. The people really enjoy coding, and seeing it work out.
At the least, this is true to me. The most WHEN I ever charged someone for a web design was a few free voice instructions… Cash would be nice, now and, but I is capable of doing without.
I believe it pushes quality benefit decent pay. Not a soul ends up acquiring jipped really.
Individually, I’ve made a good penny off primarily webmastering particularly… enough to create it so I’ve not must take a " regular" job while school was in session for the initial 2 years (Recent budget cuts will raise my school massively again along with force me to obtain one next 12 months however).
The most Ive have you ever heard of anybody spending money on a web pattern project was like recently. I did a bid for a project offered through Shell gasoline firm. They had a few left-hand company/organization they were going to redesign. The representitve explained thay hire outside help for their " smaller projects". This old beaten site that was up for change went for 52, 000 dollars(US) back in the later portion of 2000. And the corporation that did them charged them 20, 000 a year to keep up it. With that know-how I took a chance and set this price at 15, 000 with maintence during 5, 000/yr(Currently the biggest ive ever charged). The representative explained I was the best bidder by significantly, but I still didnt obtain job. But only due to lack of experiance once.
Depends which country you’re living in. I work with a web style and design company in Cyprus and we don’t subcontract anyone. There are quite a few other companies including us too. I don’t believe freelancing goes down very well over here.
I don’t think it is possible to make a 6-figure salary for a " web designer". I understand for a fact, however, that it is possible to work your way as long as design positions that can result in 6-figure incomes.
I believe it’s very possible. In fact, Jeffery Zeldman may vouch for the fact that it’s very likely.
Think about the web designers that manage sites like www. cnn. com, world wide web. ebay. com, world wide web. amazon. com, world wide web. bbc. com, world wide web. google. com, for example.
Quite possible.
Jeffery Zeldman is not a " net designer". He can be " founder", " owner", in addition to " creative director" of an web design company. That was somewhat my point: like a " web designer" for another won’t make anyone 6 figures, but it can result in a career in website design that makes anyone 6 figures. I don’t believe the designers with CNN, eBay, Amazon, BBC, or maybe Google make SIX figures.
Acceptable, I’ll ask this since I am aware someone else needs to be thinking it: who is Jeffery Zeldman
erm… a man that owns a business probably
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
