Looking for a problem associated with the web design industry. What problems is the industry facing? A more specific description will be posted (soon) if possible.
Web design to me seems to be a hard career to find a problem in.
I was given general questions for all industries to try to use:

What environmental damage is being done by this industry?
What technological changes have impacted the industry in a negative way?
Has access been equitable?
Are there scientific concerns in this industry?
Can regulations be enforced?
Are laws needed in this industry?
Are children’s lives being negatively impacted?

You need to be a little more specific. What do you mean by problems?

One big problem is the fact that people still use Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6. They are insecure and don’t properly render html and css so it makes it harder to code sites.

Not sure if that’s the type of problem you are looking for or not…

Question by : What is an average fee people chage for private web design / programming lessons?
I’m an expert developer in html, css, javascript, ajax, php, flash, actionscript, and quite handy in graphic design too. I want to teach people these skills online, via goto meeting or some other web based system. I have no idea what to charge, what is a common price for this kind of thing? Or if you don’t know, what do you think is fair?

Answer by Andy
First off I should say that I’m not in the field! But I do know that it’s something that changes a lot and usually that kind of stuff you don’t really want a book, but a good website would be the best way to go since they get updated with new technologies and techniques. Hopefully the site would have a forum with good traffic so that you can ask questions and have them answered in a reasonable amount of time.

Q&A: Why are web design and animation skills so highly regarded within the graphic design industry?

Question by cire229: Why are web design and animation skills so highly regarded within the graphic design industry?
I am currently finishing my first year of university studying graphic design. I have seen a few sources that claim animation and web design are great skills to have when fighting for the opportunity to be offered a graphic design job.

But why is that? Why is animation and web design so highly regarded, to the point where it is claimed that having these skills will ensure you have the best opportunities for graphic design jobs? Could it be because it is more intricate and on some levels, more difficult?

Thanks

Answer by Mato
Print design and advertising is slowly becoming obsolete. Everything is on the computer now. Having web and animation skills means you can create online ads, website designs, e-mail blast mailers, and animated flash ads. Having these skills also lets you sell yourself well. A spiffy online portfolio is good to have when the site itself can be considered a piece of your work. It also displays your ability to transition between print and web image formats. It’s good to be savvy with both.

Question by freebeauty: Is there any disadvantage to use Dreamweaver to do web design?
I know dreamweaver is a handy web design tool, but is there any disadvantage to use it, for example, get some bad habits or limit creative to web designer? If I want to be professional web designer, Do I need write html and css in notepad for some time or directly use Dreamweaver?

Answer by just “JR”
DW is a powerful web design tool, but should never be considered by a “professional”.
- It creates a code that is cluttered with inadequate tags and arguments;
- It usually develops a site for one given browser and one resolution;
- It never solve all browser’s incompatibilities; (Never found a DW site working on the 5 main browsers!)
- It is barely capable of dealing with any kind of interactivity (server-side scripts and AJAX)
- It prevents the coder from learning how to code properly.
In other words, you learn to design a site, but not how to develop it, and the coding is very hard to maintain (as it has no “meanings”).
Some consider it useful to set-up the base of their website “to save time”, then adapt the code by hand. I disagree! A good set of images created in Photoshop, and one set of HTML, CSS, javascript and php basics, together with an AJAX framework, allows me to set-up any website in a few hours and in a very professional manner.
My tools: Photoshop and Notepad++ (and many years of experience).
