Web Layout Class

I just finished my Web Layout1 class and would like to talk about.
At the beginning I was excited about the class on learning how to build web sites. But then as the course went by it was no fun. I was not understanding the whole css and html codes, infact, I wanted to quit going to class and just forget about web design. But my Instructor encourage me to continue going that later I was going to understand it.
Well here I am after 2 months of web design, I can tell you that now I understand it. It was a tought class with lots of assignment but I survived.


Thanks Mr. Williams

So how much do Web Designers make?

The answer to that question varies. The salary earnings of a web designer are affected by a number of things. Currently, web designers can be categorized into three positions.

Web Graphic designer: These types of designers are charged with the construction and design of the web layout. Graphic designers are less concerned with the coding involved in website constructions and are instead more focused on creating the eventual layout. Web designers in this category are normally found to earn between $20,000 and $50,000. Thanks to their skill, most graphic designers are also qualified in other graphical representations such as those required by advertising companies. By being involved in this, a graphical designer can earn as much as $90,000.

Web designers (front end coding): A front end web designer, is one who is competent with the use of website scripts such as Css and html. These designers are able to take convert graphical representations into actual web pages which can then be viewed online. Web designers like these earn more than graphic designers and are normally found with salary values of $40,000 to $70,000. A web designer who is also competent with graphic design will be able to push his annual earnings even higher.

Web programmers: A web programmer has a more demanding job as he is charged with writing essential and vital programming codes which are used in running important sites. Websites such as yahoo and Google employ back end coding which allows them perform effectively. Web programmers are the highest earning class of web designers and can make an annual salary of well over $100,000.

As you can see there is potential for any of us. Don't just dream your dream. Live it!



Web Designing

Web Design can be fun to learn, but very time consuming. You need to learn the basic of web design. You need to learn basic photoshop editing, fireworks, illustrator and a few other programs. As state above, you need to have lots of patients when designing a web page. Get a good instructor to help you. Learn as much as you can from your instructor. It becomes a headache when you don't know what your doing. Always ask lots of questions and take as many tutorias from the internet.
