A List Apart releases 2007 Web Design Survey
The Folks at A List Apart have released the 2007 Web Design Survey. The report, authored by internationally-acclaimed designer Jeffrey Zeldman and CSS expert Eric Meyer, is the first to take a close look at the Web design profession. More than 32,000 Web designers and developers from around the world participated (yeah, this here gent took part).

Some interesting findings:
- Everyone’s got a blog (well, 72.7%, anyway) - regardless of age group or salary range
- More respondents said they were from the Northeastern US than from any other region (This surprised me; maybe all the Silicon Valley geeks were too busy cooking up amazing wonders like this to be bothered with a silly survey?
- 40% reported being unsatisfied at their job - 40%! To me, that’s sad. Life’s too short!
Kudos to A List Apart - for people who make Web sites - for compiling this information about what can rightly be called a “profession”.
