Being a web designer is a good thing: the industry is growing, and the income is pretty good.
The Growing Industry
A lot of online businesses have set up. It’s understandable because they don’t need inventory, overhead is cheaper, and sometimes they don’t even need to actually own the products to sell them.
What certain online businesses do is they act as an interface between a wholesaler and the customer. The customer will place an order online on the website and the online business will simply transfer these orders to the wholesaler, making a margin off of the profit in the process.
Places like Wal-Mart have items that are available only online. And to accommodate this, web designers are needed to create, maintain, and optimize the website.
Increasing Web Design Salary
Like most salaries in other fields, web design salaries vary depending on the person’s experience, education and location. Although web design work can be done remotely, smaller companies prefer to work with web designers in their local area because they can meet face to face.
Coroflot Web Design Salary Survey
Coroflot, an employment agency catering to creative workers, published a survey comparing the salaries of web designers to the salaries of other creative designers, which include interior, graphic, and industrial designers.
The results of the study showed that all the designers had a similar lower spectrum salary of about $15,000 per year. In the mid-range, the web designers’ salary was greater than others’, with web designers earning $56,700 on average and interior designers making $15,000 less.
Also on average, graphic designers earned $13k/yr, industrial designers $3.5k/yr less than web designers.
At the top, industrial designers made $210k/yr, web designers made $200k/yr, graphic designers made $185k/yr, and interior designers made $100k/yr.
Also according to the survey, nearly 70% of web designers held a Bachelors degree, 20% a Masters, and the rest a high school diploma.
