Designers, developers, project managers. Writers and editors. Information architects and usability specialists. 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?

A List Apart is putting on it’s very own first annual Web Design Survey. If nothing else, this will be a great complement to the survey Delia put together for the listserv a couple months back.

Although the listserv survey was a nice overview of the practices in healthsystems and healthcare (and had a smaller population), A List Apart‘s survey results will encompass a wider spectrum.

I think this is a great idea, and can’t wait to see the results. I urge everyone to take 10 minutes and help us all gain more insight into our great industry.
