challenge: what are the results of the alistapart survey?

Author: webee | Filed under: webdesign, who's best

a list apart, one of the most popular webdesign portals and, frankly, a place for real webdesigners has unleashed for sometime now their latest project:
first annual a listapart survey, aimed to increase knowledge of webdesign and webdesigners.

it covers questions related to:
- demographic data (geographical, age, gender of webdesigners, etc)
- career data (career status, profession, job expectations, etc)
- financial and “benefits” related data (salaries, benefits, holidays, etc)

and now… here’s one for you: what are your predictions? what will the results say in your opinion? is this survey going to reveal to us more and new information about webdesigners?

PS: in return for the comment, i’ll link back to you in a post presenting a conclusion to all the comments posted… so… don’t hesitate to comment.

  2. I’m going to predict a drop in designers based on the Indian continent, and a massive increase in people working solo at home.

  4. well paul… yes… i’m also almost sure that india is going to provide us some good programmers and webdesigners.
    i’m just curious how come china isn’t on this path too?

    i also agree with you that entrepreneurship is going to increase within designers. and that’s quite predictable due to the success of entrepreneurship blogs and posts.

    one more thing: what do you think about the age of the webdesigners?

  6. I think a drop in India-based designers, because the continent as a whole has been tainted by the whole outsourcing thing - and all the guys over there are moving to other countries in order to get a fair chance at work. Obviously this would be compared to other industry stats, what with this being the first survey!

    I think there will be the most web designers in the 20-30 bracket. Typically, people coming online who are younger than that (who would have perhaps started in the industry 5 years ago) are moving straight into things like MySpace.

  8. yes, i agree with you here. new times calls for new designer skills.
    i’m also sure that designers won’t disappear as social media sites are taking over the internet…

    in fact i think will have more young designers in the industry. i think the information and skills are more and more accessible. and the general knowledge in this field is more and more shared.
    so it’s quite easy to become a designer nowadays if you have the call and talent for it.
