I just completed A List Apart’s Web Design Survey 2007. Simple set of 37 questions. Probably took me 7 minutes to complete.
I had been avoiding it. So what changed my mind? First it was reminding me by showing up in my reader in a few places. So I took at look at ALA’s survey page and got the answser for me…
People who make websites have been at it for more than a dozen years, yet almost nothing is known, statistically, about our profession. Who are we? Where do we live? What are our titles, our skills, our educational backgrounds? Where and with whom do we work? What do we earn? What do we value?
So get over there and take it. Whatever website design has given you, I’m sure you can spare 10 minutes to give back to it.
Need one more motivation?
Selected participants, chosen by random drawing, will win one free ticket to An Event Apart event held in the continental U.S.; an Apple 30GB video iPod, an Event Apart jump drive, or a funky A List Apart T-shirt.
One thing I am always particular about is to keep the website look simple…Customer is king, i know..but I also assume them to be not savvy enough – so that my design is appealing to everyone…
