I can't express how much I hate that expression.
Whenever people ask "what do you do for living?" I'm like "well, I design and I do programming.."
"so you're a webdesigner?"
"ARGH!!!"

So.. what are you, then?
And why's the tag so bad? Are you so much better than all that?

haha, I love fancy titles. Mine was 'Junior Information Officer' over the summer, and I basically did nothing except read over stuff and design a few layouts for the government.

At one time I was a Programmer/Analyst.
I merged the titles to become the world's premier "Analrammer".
Now I'm just an unfunny Software Engineer. Phooey.

yeah titles are nothing..
but for me, at least here (germany) the term "webdesigner" has the slight taste of "oh yeah sure everybody can do that. I know plenty of those guys.."
99% of which are either hardcore programmers with no clues of the web or kids with hacked goLive shit.
I can hardly find a good word for what I do (plus there's mostly no need for it) but "webdesigner" is plain shit

YOU: "I'm a Web Designer"
THEM: "Oh yeah I've dabbled with that..."

THEM: "I'm a Psychologist"
YOU: "Yeah I talk to my mates about their wives down the pub..."

It's true, people think being a webdesigner takes nothing.
But many people have trouble with html and css for some reason (haha), and once you start getting them learning that stuff they learn to appreciate your profession more.
Plus, you can deceive them by telling them how much you make per project (not the amount you make over the year, b/c, well...)

I hate getting asked what I do. I might as well just say professional cunt. I mean all these fucking shoreditch fucks have spoilt it for the rest of us. Webdesigners, fucking wankers.

ha true jaline =)
also, there are so many people around with no profound knowledge of code, just building stuff with dreamweaver and shit..
you wouldn't go and start building a table or a cupboard without a bit of tailor skills.
there'sa bit more to it than the shallow outside
