Poll: What is your job title?

By , About.com Guide   July 22, 2010

Follow me on:

Working as a Web Designer/Web Developer/Web Programmer/etc. hasn't changed astronomically in the years I've been writing this site, but have the job titles? If you are a freelancer, choose the title you're most likely to introduce yourself as. My job title has changed several times in the past 10 years. I originally was a Webmaster, then it changed to Web Developer and Web Manager. Now, I am a Web Designer. I have also worked as an Information Architect and Web Producer. What's interesting to me is that the work I do as a Web Designer isn't radically different from what I did as a Webmaster back when I first started. Yes, the languages I use have changed, but the work is remarkably similar. What is your job title? And how has it changed since you started doing web design work?

Just because an application is web based doesn’t mean its not software.

I was the owner/web designer, until I incorporated. Now I’m the President. My job is pretty much the same regardless of the title. But doesn’t President sound important? *smile*

I spend about 90% of my time at work doing graphic and web design. My title is ‘Client Coordinator’ because that allows my employer to pay me much less than my time is really worth. That’s life out in the sticks where jobs are scarce . . .
