Purely out of curiosity and of course to gauge interest..

..but do many of the UKWW members require the services of professional web designers?

Or do the majority of you possess the skills necessary to create and maintain your websites?

Cheers!

I can't speak for others, but i can create and maintain websites. I won't call myself web designer, more of a web developer kind.

I'd never hire someone lol we'd have too many creative arguments! I'm like dman I can create/maintain websites.

It's one thing if you know how to create/mantain a pretty website, but it's another thing when you see people creating for their companies websites that look more than awfull. They should hire some proffesional web designers ASAP.

ditto with Xhan. I am a web designer myself and can design (pretty nice) websites myself :P .

Well - i don't know anything about html ( what's that) or any other language like C+ etc etc - therefore, will have to hire someone - if i need them!

Infact, i have 2 websites - that need a re-design as i am not happy with my current ( self made - software assisted) design.

I do not have a software background - though learning things- slowly - as i have a full time (90 hr/ week) job and these things (seo & websites) are for fun!
