Web Designer Survey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NOTTINGHAM, England, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Research from web host\u00a020i<\/a>\u00a0has revealed frustration among web designers over\u00a0their\u00a0clients’\u00a0attitudes towards pricing.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0survey of 500 web designers<\/a>\u00a0found 87% believe clients often underestimate the cost of web design, and only 12% think they charge enough for their work. The survey\u00a0indicates\u00a0that the average annual income for a full-time web designer is\u00a0approximately\u00a0\u00a323,000\/$32,350.<\/p>\n

These findings place web design behind many other professional services in terms of annual earnings. The sector falls below the \u00a329,600-\u00a331,400 UK average annual salary for full-time workers and the income commanded by other creative and tech spheres, such as graphic design at \u00a328,900 and web development at \u00a334,000.\u00a0A career in web design is a popular choice, so there’s fierce competition, driving down fees.<\/p>\n

This high competition does foster creativity,\u00a0with 43% of web designers producing web design-focused content like blogs,\u00a0videos and podcasts to help stand out. Their need to keep appraised of\u00a0rapidly changing\u00a0technologies and design trends is clear:\u00a0nine out of 10 make\u00a0a conscious effort to keep up with industry developments.<\/p>\n

On a more positive note, the survey also reveals a growing optimism amongst web designers towards the future of their industry, with 65% finding work as easy to come by as they did a year ago. This\u00a0suggests that they have been\u00a0relatively isolated\u00a0from the rollercoaster economic effects of the lockdowns.<\/p>\n

In fact, their\u00a0outlook is\u00a0very optimistic, with only 13%\u00a0believing\u00a0work will be more difficult to secure in the next 12 months, and 70% of those surveyed are as excited about being a web designer now as they were a year ago.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Brealey, 20i Director,\u00a0says, “I understand web designers’ frustrations when it comes to their clients not\u00a0appreciating\u00a0the amount of work that goes\u00a0into\u00a0a modern website. While the ‘look’ of a website is important,\u00a0non-technical clients may not\u00a0fully grasp the complexities of performance optimisation, security and\u00a0other functional elements.<\/p>\n

“Even so, I’m happy to hear that despite this,\u00a0most\u00a0web designers are positive about their future in the industry\u00a0and are still enjoying their work.”<\/p>\n
