A career as a web designer is a wise choice. The web design industry is rapidly growing and its income provided is highly sufficient. Let's take a look a few key aspects.
E-Commerce
Many more businesses these days are turning digital; they don't need physical inventory on shelves that may pile up or costly overhead. Sometimes, the retailer doesn't even have to own the actual products to sell them.
When the customer places an order online, the retailer buys it from a good-relationed wholesaler. The wholesaler then ships the product so that the retailer makes a margin off the profit without exerting too much effort.
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.
Growth Of 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
There was a survey, conducted by an employment agency called Coroflot, that asked for the salary levels of web, interior, graphic, and industrial designers.
All fields had a lower end salary of around $15k/yr. In the middle, web designers earned $56.7k/yr with interior designers making $15k/yr less.
Also on average, graphic designers earned $13k/yr, industrial designers $3.5k/yr less than web designers.
At the upper end of the spectrum, industrial designers earned the most, with an annual income of $210,000. Web designers were second with $200,000. Graphic designers followed at $185,000, and interior designers at $100,000.
Also according to the survey, nearly 70% of web designers held a Bachelors degree, 20% a Masters, and the rest a high school diploma.
