How much do website designers make?

January 2, 2010 - 12:53 am

Please only answer with legit statements/facts. Not dumb things like "lots of money".

Several factors answer your question.
Location, temp status or permanent, hourly or salary, experience, having a Computer Science Degree.

Looking at a permanent hire year salary
starting is anywhere from ($20,000 - $70,000)
10 years experience anywhere from ($50,000 - $140,000)

Yes it can be that wide a margin. A person with certifications and no college degree in a small-mid city with no big businesses would start out at $20k-$25k while someone in Boston or San Jose with a CS degree would be getting $50k-$70k a year.

    not enough. it depends on the skill level of the designer. the more work hes done the more he gets paid in most cases. you can charge by the hour or by the page.

    It depends on who the client is. Many do not get a high rate of pay because the clients are not able to budget alot of money toward this.
    The client, how elaborite is the site, how many graphics are involved, is it interactive? all of this factors in . Ther really is not set response. Because of this wide variety , most work is done hourly by the freelancer. Many start at 75.00 per hour and go up way up from there.
