Web Designer Average Salaries June 2012

The graph below is a “snapshot” of average salaries for those Website Design jobs (UK) that we sampled in June. The average salary for the month was £27.9k .

Our historic data shows that average salaries have been slipping since Sept 2011 (when the average was £29.3k). Design briefs have changed from the early days of the internet when stand-alone, brochure websites looked for lots of “flash”. Nowadays many would say that function, speed and simplicity of use are more important than design however is that really true? In our opinion great design is as important as it ever was. Clever, impactful design that still complies with the rigours of efficient SEO is often a key differential when it comes to standing out from your competitors. The internet is a very crowded place and design can make a real difference as part of your competitive strategy.

For comparison, the data has been set alongside equivalent data for Web Development positions.

June 2012 Review of Average Web Job Salaries UK

With a full year of data behind us the average salary graphs are revealing some interesting trends. Information Security has consistently returned high (and still rising) average salaries and Social Media and SEO jobs also display resiliance even throughout these tough economic times in the U.K.

A role which struggled badly over the last quarter to maintain its average is Online (Digital) Marketing Manager ( ..we sample both job titles) At this rate of decline it would be overtaken by the Social Media Management role … which (if it happens) would tell us much about how the market sees the importance of strong management in social media marketing. (Check out our Resources section to see a Profile report each quarter end for a variety of roles)
