I understand the place of passion for a vocation, where beyond the remuneration, these love what they do.

While others may be fortunate to have passion for their job, and it happens that the job is a high paying one, the rest go about scouting which can best serve their hunger pangs.

Since it became public that IT [Information Technology] is the way, we have seen a sudden flux in the numbers of people joining the path of being either a web developer or a web designer. Their motive is as clear as a whistle, money.

Do web developers earn more than web designers in 2022? This and more will I uncover for you today.

Before we proceed, it is pertinent to identify the brain behind this beautiful piece: The Watchtower, a leading and award-winning SEO web design company Dubai, Mobile app development, and web design agency in Dubai, dedicated to allowing its readers to get mind-engaging content every day.

Who is a web developer?

Wikipedia best describes a web developer as a programmer who develops World Wide Web applications using a client-server model. The applications typically use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the client, PHP, ASP.NET, Python, Node.js, Go, or Java in the server, and HTTP for communications between client and server.

A web developer focuses on the back-end program to enable a website to perform certain functions as requested by the client which makes it visible to the internet space and access to all audiences.

Who is a web designer?

According to Wikipedia, web designers are experts in web designing, and they encompass many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites.

Some areas of web design include graphic design; user interface design; authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization.

Do web developers earn more than web designers?

The cost of hiring a web developer tends to be higher than the cost of hiring a web designer.

According to ZipRecruiter, the average rate of web developers is $36/hour, while the average rate of web designers is $29/hour.

The primary reason for this discrepancy is likely due to the supply and demand index. Clearly, there are more designers than developers out there and coding, in general, is a highly sought-after skill.

Since coding has become more popular among the talent pool, the discrepancy between rates has decreased.

That said, when it comes to expertise, whether hiring developers or web designers, you are paying for the experience.

In conclusion, web designing is a lucrative job that is interconnected to web development, however, in the sense of who earns more, the web developers earn more money than web designers in 2022.

Is flat design still relevant in web design?

Creativity is one word I find that best describes web design.

In the world of creativity, proficiency can only be explored with what the web designer knows from frequent use of web design applications.

One of the features considered a determinant for web development companies would be the understanding of a flat design.

Today, we shall consider what a flat design means and its relevance to web design. Kindly read through to the end.

What is flat design?

Flat design is a user interface style that uses simple, two-dimensional elements and bright colors when designing a website. Flat design helps in giving the illusion of three dimensions by copying real-life properties.

By way of designs, flat designs are responsive designs, where a website’s content scales smoothly depending on the device’s screen size.

With simple shapes and minimal textures, the flat design ensures that responsive designs work well and load fast, considering mobile devices have slower internet speeds.

By reducing the amount of visual noise, the flat design provides users with a streamlined and more optimal user experience as well deserved.

Key techniques to improve site design to enhance conversion rates:

Increased conversion rates require consistency across the whole website. When a visitor arrives on your site and is met with a befuddling combination of navigational choices, colours, buttons, effects, and page movement, they are likely to be confused and unlikely to convert. People will feel more comfortable and secure moving through different sites and investigating what you have to offer if they see the same navigation and design features on every page.

If you want to enhance conversion rates, you should start with design uniformity. The navigation menu, as well as any other navigation system on the website, should be consistent so that site users can browse intuitively without having to think about it. Similarly, every page's footer should be consistent, making it simple for users to navigate your site. If you utilise visual cues to guide users to navigational options or activities, they should all function and feel the same. The appearance and structure of CTA buttons should also be consistent.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
