Is it different for mobile? How often do you need to update websites to keep up with current trends? Should you get a degree to work as a web designer? If so, what sort of degree from what sort of institution? Which websites should aspiring web designers follow? Is a long lasting web design career as much about who you know as it is about what you know (i.e. networking, online or in-person)? How much do you need to understand about a business/client before designing an effective website? Does web designing now encompass advertising, blogging, social networking - internet marketing as a whole? Is it enough to just simply be a web designer when sites like Facebook, Shopify, YouTube, Twitter, Squidoo, Polyvore, Google+, Blogger, Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, etc. can take care of at least some of the work for you in many cases? Looking forward to the discussion! Jaclyn Potential Questions: As professional web designers, how much code do you need to understand to design websites today? Is it different for mobile?
