How necessary is it to be artistic to qualify for web design? I am creative but lack artistic skills such as drawing, painting etc. I have designed web sites before and they were very presentable. As an official full-time web designer, how important would it be to be artistic, or would i be able to get by?
I think being ‘creative’ helps, as well as knowing code and having a grasp of design. Drawing and painting are not necessary as much as design is. I am a fine artist that learned design and I’m a multimedia designer (including web). Knowing design software; Photoshop, Illustrator, ImageReady/fireworks and being able to create images; buttons, backgrounds, banner ads, etc. doesn’t have much to do with painting per se.
Knowing artist tools and techniques -and- being able to code does put you in a unique position though and makes your skill set more attractive.
The less a ‘job’ (web design in this case) has to be piece milled out because you can only provide a portion of the required work, the better.
Having creative ‘hand skills’; drawing and painting, goes a long way.
I ask this because i thought there was but people seem to use the words interchangeably even on job adverts.
I thought a designer dealt with the coding of web pages and the layout and that a developer did stuff like dynamic and database.
Actually i just read in a book that these 2 roles are becoming increasingly combined maybe that’s why i was confused.
The Definition of Web Design (Designer)
Web design typically refers to the process of designing a web site or web page layout and often includes the graphical elements on a page. The design can be developed using a graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop, and provides the framework for the look and feel of a web page.
The finished product of the design does not typically contain code. Rather, the graphical representation of the web page is used by another or the same party as the basis for the code. The representation is divided into areas that can be represented by web code, and other areas that are purely graphics.
Often, web design and development firms use the term "web design" to refer to the entire development of a web site because it is the most commonly recognized term in the marketplace. However, it is important to clarify what a firm means before signing up for their "web design" services.
The Definition of Web Development (developer)
Web development is typically used to described the programming required to construct the "back end" of a website. The back end is the area of the site that isn’t seen by visitors, but which does the work required in order to present the right information in the correct format to the visitors.
Web development is used to describe any database-driven web designs using dynamic scripting languages like PHP, ASP, ASP.NET and Coldfusion. It also covers database design and development. The term can also be used for client-side scripting such as JavaScript and Java.

I need to include a salary requirement for a web designer position I am applying for. The job requires 1-2 years of HTML and CSS exp. and Flash design skills. The job is in a small town, but for a company that employs over 5,000 people. What should I ask to be paid per hour, having 1-2 years of web design experience?
Check some salary comparison websites to find similar positions in a similar geographic area. You’ve stated small town, but that could be a small town right outside a major city or it could be in the middle of nowhere.
I took a small town (where my wife grew up) in PA (about 45 minute drive from Penn State) and the starting pay was about $38-41K. Near where I live outside of DC (about a 35 minute drive), the pay starts around $68K.
The size of the company only matters a bit since they are probably aware of the market cost and cost of living for the area.
I’d really suggest looking at some salary survey sites to see if you can find what others in the area (or similar areas) are making and try to base your request on that. If you find that you think your request is high, you could always add a clause like "negotiable based on benefits included".
In a local market, the monthly price of internet access service decreases from $20 to $10, and the total quantity of monthly accounts across all internet access providers increases from 100,000 to 200,000.
a. What is the price elasticity of demand?
b. is demad elastic, unit-elastic, or ineleastic?
c. If the internet access providers wanted to increase price by 5%, what will be the percent change in quantity demanded?
A. PED = ((p2-p1)/p2)/((q2-q1)/(q2) = (-10/10)/(-100k/200k) = -1/0.5 = -2
B. Demand is elastic
C. Since PED is 2 it can be predicted that a 5% increase in price will result in a 10% decrease in quantity demanded.
I’m getting my associates in Web Production and Design, and I would like to know (hopefully from other web designers) if being a free lance web designer is working out well for you guys. I mean, I wouldn’t mind working for a company of some sort, but honestly I would like the freedom to call my own shots. Thanks!
Free lance means you are responsible for all of the business side things like ensuring your Federal, Social Security and State taxes are paid out of your gross income, paying health insurance, life insurance, dental insurance and any other financial considerations. Health insurance alone will end up costing a lot more than if you were on a company policy (at my last job I paid $65 a month for full medical & dental a comparable plan would cost me $2000/month). Not only that but most tech companies will provide 401K with matching funds (which is free money) as well as educational benefits/paid training and conferences as well as even match funds for any charitable organization donations you make.
Just something to consider.
