Web and graphic design careers

[petershene]

We all know that in web design or development there are so many many lanes you can go down , and in the time of your career you might even change up from a web developer to somebody doing online marketing to making mobile apps. Its ll a little daunting when you look at it all. I am not in the position where im studying my third language, but i knid of wander where am i going with this now. I dont have any clear directive. So my question is what are you as a web or graphic designer planning career wise , perhaps we can get some insih from older more experienced users to tell us about some of the paths we are choosing

The web development field is pretty broad. Everyone that I know who has found success has done so by creating a portfolio and then building a business. The portfolio generally comes from friends and family needing sites. Sometimes it's design for the sake of design.

After you build up a body of work, reach out to local businesses and show them what you can do.
