Web design coming to an end?
I constantly asking my colleagues (all web designers) about the web design field. I believe that web design starting to slide down to rejection mode.
Pre-made template for USD25 or lower
If you do some simple Google, you would see a full list of budget pre-made web template. So how much does web designer’s time worth now? Hourly rate has been rejected in freelance community but it is still widely used by the client only.
PSD to XHTML for USD99 or lower
I think I don’t need to elaborate too much about this, you sure hear it and seens it too much on the Internet, especially on those web related topic. We, as a web designer spend hours of time to get it work on cross browsers and validate it, all require an amount of time.
Are those services killing we as a web designer? Not exactly, there are beneficial among web designer too. Especially yhose who work freelance. Pre-made template, has been inspiration for me, I don’t buy it, I just browse around, like CSS gallery. To save web designer time and hassle, PSD to XHTML service is a powerful weapon.
