Meanwhile, more and more organizations are establishing their presence on the Internet, which is one reason why knowledgeable Web designers may look forward to a variety of fascinating career options.

What Web Designers Do

Maybe you’ll want to create a Web page that will promote your current employer’s products or services; design your own personal Web page; create Web sites for family members, friends or businesses. Or perhaps you'll realize the dream of promoting your own business over the Internet some day.

Where the Careers Are

Web site design career options exist in so many areas of the country: in government, private industry, non-profit and charitable organizations, stores, and many other areas of commerce, government, education, and entertainment. Often, Web designers work on a team of marketing and advertising specialists, sales people, artists and copywriters. Others work alone, with full responsibility for Web site creation.

Work at Home

Some Web site designers work independently, as freelance contractors. They are able to use their home, and a desktop PC, as a base of operations. Others work in their employers’ marketing or advertising departments.
