A significantly greater percentage of Creative Directors, Information Architects, Interface Designers, Marketers, Usability Experts, and Web Directors make more than $100,000.<\/li>\n<li>Accessibility Experts, Educators, Information Architects, Project Managers, Usability Experts, Web Directors, and Writer\/Editors reported holding a master&rsquo;s degree more often than the sample as a whole.<\/li>\n<li>In general, men appear to make more than women. The weighted averages are: males: $52,451, females: $49,708.<\/li>\n<li>As last year, the pattern is that earnings increase with the size of the company. On the basis of the weighted average, self-employed respondents make less than respondents in any size organization. <\/li>\n<li>Men and women report comparable percentages for working full-time, but more men work fifty or more hours per week (20.2% to 13.7% for women).<\/li>\n<li>Educators, Designers, and Web Producers make up the highest percentage of bloggers. <\/li>\n<li>Self-study (read websites and books, trial and error) is how most people stay current (70% or better of the respondents). <\/li>\n<li>As last year, there are significant skill gaps in both leading edge skills (accessibility testing and information architecture) as well as traditional skills (writing and project management).<\/li>\n<li>There are more freelancers aged 18 and under, and age 45-64. They have a lower percentage of respondents 19-29. <\/li>\n<li>Approximately 60% of career freelancers contract independently with their own clients, and approximately 20% contract independently mostly for one client. <\/li>\n<li>Two thirds (66.2%) of career freelancers charge less than $75 per hour for their services, and 84.7% charge less than $100. <\/li>\n<li>Over 90% of career freelancers get business through word of mouth. No other business development practice (web site, networking, etc.) produces work for more than half the respondents. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/aneventapart.com\/alasurvey2008\/\">Survey for people who make websites, 2008<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Findings from the Survey for people who make websites, 2008 are now available on A<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-default","category-wordpress"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Findings from the survey for people who make websites, 2008 | Tech Leadership Advice &amp;
