Web designers are responsible for creating, designing, and maintaining websites. They understand both graphic design and computer programming. A web designer creates the look, layout, and features of a website. Once a website is created, the designer helps with upkeep and additions. Web designers typically need a bachelor's degree in a design-related field like graphic design, multimedia, or web design. Relevant internship or job experience is also important. The average salary for a web designer in the US is $55,000, and $63,500 in the San Francisco area. Employment of web designers is expected to grow 13% annually as mobile internet and broadband adoption expands.

Stellar Chang... 
I worked for an information technology
company, and then our company recruited the
web designer for year, but couldn't get one. I
found I could do web design by myself, my
drawing is good, and I am also good at
information technology subjects. After I took
the visual communication design classes, I
designed the websites for our company, I
found that I really enjoyed it.
After I moved into USA, I am learning
English speaking, and look job opportunities
as a web designer.
