Some Career Options for Web Designers

Let's say you work as a freelance web designer who earns decent pay, but you are not entirely happy because you keep letting clients consume all of your time with repeated demands and development crunch. Would you be happier earning less but working with an agency where design teams get to call the shots? What should you do?

The scenario plus the two questions above were posted to a popular online forum where web designers and developers discuss career topics. Here are some of the answers they provided:

Become a white label developer for other agencies. Many agencies say that they specialize in design, but they will often outsource the graphic work and the front-end development, or else they focus on marketing and outsource design. Doing this will get your closer with the in-house development team, which means that you will not be working alone or dealing with clients directly. Since the agency is your client, you will not be in touch with the individual or business entity requesting the project, and this will likely feel like a nice break.

There's really nothing better than working with someone who says they know how to create everything and knows the process. You will earn more and you'll get more value from being a small agency that you can control. And that's what your first line of business should be.

As you can see, there were a ton of points made. If you're a freelancer, this is probably the best way to grow your work while still contributing to your current gig. In fact, there are companies out there that are just getting started and offering more options to designers to work with. And what is more interesting than having a job, if the agency pays well?

So which option will you take? What is your opinion? How can we improve the lives of others by creating better working conditions for web designers to work at? We need more designers to contribute to our design work even if they are freelancers. We need more writers. You need to work with a larger pool of people to create new experiences.
