Places To Connect With Other Web Designers In The UK

A web designer wanted to know where they could go online in order to connect with other web designers in the United Kingdom. They are looking for forums or websites where they can discuss web design topics. They are looking to make friends with other web designers in the London area, but the COVID-19 pandemic makes it impossible to leave the house and meet up with others. The individual is looking for the best ways to connect with designers online.

One person replied with a suggestion to take a look at websites including dev.to, Medium or Discord channels. This person added that most big cities and medium-size towns that have a big tech industry have Facebook groups or other social media platforms and accounts related to discussion of web design topics. The person specifically suggested Tech Nottingham as one option.

Another person replied with a suggestion for the original poster to look at Slack groups. Those include user interface and user experience sections, design sections and more. A person added onto this comment and said that there are also Slack groups about front end development and publication standards. Most people agreed that forums are passe and Slack groups are better for these types of discussions and online meetups.

A local London resident suggested that the original poster look for a group called Front End London on Slack. They offered a specific thread and sign-up option for the person to use. One other person suggested that the original poster do more with their LinkedIn account. They could reach out to other professionals through the site. They could also join the site's social media channels in order to make connections with other web designers.

Others mentioned Discord servers as a way to connect with others on the internet. A couple of people offered suggestions to just wait until COVID-19 winds down, but who knows how long that will be or whether the pandemic will suddenly get worse or have a second wave. People still need to connect with each other, even if it is through an internet chat channel or discussion group.
