Hello everyone, I wanna be a web designer but its difficult to choose between science and commerce;
which stream i should go in?

Do I need a web developer or a web designer? How do I go about picking the right one for me?

im going to take online classes for web design. but someone told me i should take digital design instead. whats the difference?

I have recently decided that I would like to become either a web designer or web developer…I spend quite a bit of time online and really would like to learn how to build my own website. I am thinking of taking a few courses at the Art institute of Washington so I can get a diploma in web design. I suppose I just wanted to ask if it would be worth while for me to do so? I see many job listing around the area for web designers so I wouldn’t have a problem finding work if I have a good enough portfolio but is web design a good career path to choose?

I have made professional websites in the past, and I really enjoy it. I’m considering going into the field. But before I do, I’d like to know if I can support myself on a web designer’s salary. What is the job like, and generally what do you make?
