Who here designs?
 

I would like to know how many people here actually design sites for a job?

Im farely new here don't know many you aswell.
Thanks for participating in this mini poll :)

Not for a job but I'm considering selling WDF's style set. Nothing anywhere close to a guarantee though.

well i just design sites for friends or friends of friends for a bit (quite less than a bit ;)) of money

Sites I do. Somehow even though I'm 15 my parents get me into these crazy jobs that pay well but have the extremely wacky bosses. Just today I found out I have a job interview with a local ISP on an online web programming job. And I'm concidered the dumb of the dumb when it comes to that.

One thing I do like about the web design job is you can really make a lot of nice extra money off of it and it isn't incredibly difficult, just sometimes time consuming... Hope that answer's your question.

I just design for fun, nothing less nothing more.

Well not as a job, but if I need to do it for myself yeah. ;)

I do it professionally and over the next month or two im setting up a business with a friend to offer proffesional web-development. He'll do the designing and i'll implement it and do any misc coding that needs to be done. I will also use it as a platform to sell my own designs as well :)

I've become very familiar to the designing techniques that such developers as C-prompt uses, being very crafty with Adobe Photoshop 7/Image Ready, and can work with HTML tables smoothly in creating intricate designs. I'll say this now though, my current website does not reflect any of this. ;)

In the past two months I've been developing a new style for my site, which has a very innovative forum structure compared to probably anything on the web. Unfortunately school is being a huge pain in the rear right now with research papers and essays being due left and right, so I've had a lack of time to work on this new style of mine. I will take some time to design for others though, to test out my skills (and earn some cash :p), if the project isn?t incredibly heavy.

Sounds good Mist, nice to see people making a living out of this. :)

I actually work Part-Time for a publishing company designing covers, flyers, business cards. I also manage and develop the company website, which is soon to go up.

I know my flash and photoshop. I started noxmedia (a toronto based web development company) with a friend, but he has been to busy and hasn't worked on it for awhile, the last thing I saw about it was the design which is very nice one.

In conclusion :p I as well do design sites, and make quite alot of money making it for the publishing company, and coding it, with there online e-commerce fast print project.

OT question...

how do you promote?

I used to do it. Haven't done it in a long while now. Just got fed up of the clients I guess lol :p Might start it back up again when I can get my site launched.
