http://www.mlwebco.com – In this video I talk about the possible career outlook of a internet designer in what I contact “The Net Designer’s Journey”. The purpose is to inspire and provide info on what can come about as a Web Designer all through your career.
Far more and much more is anticipated from today’s internet designers. Visual design is just a single small component of the job. These styles also need to have interaction. They need to function across loads of devices of varying shapes and sizes. They require to be quickly and straightforward to use. As a designer, you require to be able to communicate and share code across a group. You require to be familiar with lots of differnet technologies.
Don’t panic! This is all enjoyable stuff. There are loads of wonderful tools these days to assist issues along. With each other we’ll go by way of the lineup of all these tools and go over what does what.

as a starting web designer and developer this is really help me thanks a
lot bud..
Mike, love this video. I have been freelancing in web design on and off for
the last 10 yrs., but I have a question for you. I have read that tables
are bad for page layouts and div are good. In your opinion which should be
used? If neither then what?
Great video.
Let me offer a bit of advice for designers. There are certain clients you
will want to avoid. Each of these is based on my 15 years experience:
1) Churches. Many churches operated by committee and so you will never have
good clear direction on what to build or how to update because they will
not agree and the pastor will not oppose them or take the lead as you would
expect. Also, there is ALWAYS somebody in-house who will resent that the
site was outsourced to a professional firm and this person will always be
there working to undermine you. Also, money will always be a factor as you
are dealing with a “non-profit” organization. Do yourself a favor, just
stay clear of churches when prospecting web clients. I like using my
talents to help the Kingdom of God, but I’ll NEVER build another church
site.
2) Personal sites. Focus on providing services for organizations who have
money to pay for your professional services. Building a site for your
neighbor’s girlfriend is not the best way for a professional to spend your
time.
3) eCommerce. These can be highly profitable, but unless you charge by the
hour, these can seriously eat into your time.
IMHO.

That guy is awesome
I.cannot.like.this.enough. Gees, Chris; what a guy. As a web desiger /
developer, I could listen to this kind of talk all day. So thanks :)
Cant believe this is 2 years old. Its very much valid now in Sep 2014.
Great talk. I’m an hour in. 3 beer cans. No obligatory forehead can
crush )-:
I love to hear Chris talk. Makes web design feel so easy 😀 It’s not. But
the feelingz are real!
Wait, is he talking to kids?
this is a great talk, but now i’m even more pleasantly surprised that even
at 2x speed everything is clear ^^
Great talk. I completely agree with the concept of getting out of the
browser and putting something to code right away, (because as he said you
are build a website not a static comp) however, I personally find making a
really well done design in Photoshop is essential when proofing the look
and feel to a client. For me, my first love is design and I learned code
and WordPress later, so Im sure that plays a part – but I prefer to create
a great static design in Photoshop that the client can approve and gain
expectations from and then I use that as my pixel perfect guide when I
translate it to code. There is some overlap, but generally I think you get
through coding that much quicker since you are just dealing mostly with
functionality and structure and the style is already planned out for you.
You are going have to use Photoshop for the images anyway so I find it
works to just slice it up or whatever from my design. i could see Adobe
Muse being a useful middle of the road solution though. This is a good
discussion.
I highly recommend watching this at 2x speed. Double the information,
double the entertainment.
Awesome stuff! Learned a lot.
lol Chris is sic!
nic thught keep it up…
Why weren’t my teachers at university like this dude…..
