Share Your Story: How I Became a Web Designer

From Joyce Wolpin

How did you become a Web designer?

Started by building a website for her department.

Are you self-taught or did you get a degree?

Joyce attended a workshop on making Web sites about four years ago (1996), and then volunteered to make a Web site for her department. Eventually, she was able to quit her job and do computer and marketing consulting full-time.

Tips and Tricks

  • Go for functionality, not overly designed sites.
  • Speak in English to your clients, not geek.
