Web design business 2012

Web designers are considered modern artists, and they are becoming a necessity for survival of small business and large corporations alike. Web designers are the original designers of a website.

Web designers are different from web masters in several important ways. The designer has creative graphical sense that allow him or her to design an etnity that is attractive, useful, and representative of a specific product, service, topic, or idea.


The designer is not usually involved in the marketing aspect or traffic generation of a site the way a web master is. Web designers are not often required to know how to make a site interactive with mass mail lists, content, or promotion.

Of course they are much more valuable if they do these things as well. A useful comparison is to say that a web designer is much like the set designer in a movie, who creates the scene or environment, allowing the events and characters to present themselves and communicate with their audience from the appropriate visual "window".

There are several ways that web designers create business relationships with clients. They may charge by the hour and price the work by the level of difficulty, they may charge a contract price for specific work, or they may work full time for one client on a contract basis.
