Web development and design is an exciting field. You have seen really good websites and you have seen really bad websites, well they were all made by web developers and designers. The possibilities in this industry are limitless. One of three big reasons to be excited about web development and design is the income in this industry. Another reason to be excited is the fact that this field is always evolving and ever changing. Lastly, another reason to be excited is that you get to create something through your imagination and creativity that people can enjoy and use. Allow me to elaborate.
People in the industry of Web Development and Design are making a good living. According to Indeed.com the average base salary of a Web developer is $81,501 which I considered to be good money. Your pay could range from $48,992 to $135,000 and the longer you work the better you will get resulting in better pay. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the demand for web developers will grow 32%, this could also result in an increase to the pay. As you can see the income is good, the demand is there, and those are definitely positive attributes to careers in this field.
The field of Web Development and Design will never stop moving forward. It will keep on evolving and will change at amazing rates. Isn’t that amazing? From linkedin.com we can see that from the first website in 1991 made by Tim Berners-Lee which was a simple HTML page with hyperlinks that take you to other pages to the complex web applications nowadays, there are major differences. How many more websites have been created since then? So many websites! How much difference is there from a website 30 years ago and a website now? So much difference! The industry has grown that much in just 32 years. How much more could it grow in another 32 years or even a hundred more years? Just imagine the possibilities.
Finally, I am excited that something I create through my own creativity and imagination can be used and enjoyed by other people. My work could benefit others! There are tons of good websites out there that are helping millions of people. According to forbes.com there are 1.13 billion websites on the internet as of 2023, 18% of those websites are still active, updated, and visited. You can be creative with your websites, play around, try new things, see what works and what doesn’t, the possibilities are endless. I believe that the internet can be used to do great things, things that will help other people. Sadly, the internet can also be used to do bad things, people will misuse technology and the internet and create things that will harm other people, bring people down, and lead them down dark paths. Through the websites I create, I want to help people, do work for the greater good. I want my creations to do positive work in the world.
Conclusion
