Web Design Salary

By: Steve Walters

Being a web designer is a good thing: the industry is growing, and the income is pretty good.

The Growing Industry

Numerous online businesses have, understandably, risen, seeing as how they don't need expensive inventory, overhead, and sometimes the product itself.

With some online businesses, all they do is pass on orders set by customers online to wholesalers who ship the products. The online business acts as a middleman, taking a cut off the profit.

Places like Wal-Mart have items that are only available through the internet, which is why web designers are needed in the first place.

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

Coroflot, an employment agency catering to creative workers, published a survey comparing the salaries of web designers to the salaries of other creative designers, which include 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.

Industrial designers make $3,500/yr less and graphic designers make $13,000/yr less than the average web designer.

At the top, industrial designers made $210k/yr, web designers made $200k/yr, graphic designers made $185k/yr, and interior designers made $100k/yr.

The survey also displayed their education levels. 71% of web designers had a Bachelors, and 20% had a Masters degree. The balance only had a high school diploma.
