Why Do We Design

Why do web designers design the web.

Without a computer, it is impossible to see our creations. The market is difficult; hard to break into, hard to stay in.

The work can at times be frustrating.

The competition is fierce, and plays as hard as it can.

So why do we design?

Because we like it.

There's that satisfaction at the end of a great design, the knowledge that we did that. We made those sprite images work, we made that sliding jQuery effect. We thought up that color scheme, we reached our goal of either disjointed and energetic, or clean, simple, and smooth.

There's that feeling of relief as everything melds together into one thing, like we just created this great piece of art for people to enjoy.

And during the design, there's that feeling of hey... I can do something different. I can move this industry forward. I can really do something good.

We do it because it is our passion.
