This is a no-brainer but....

I know that some of my readers (shame on them) don't know about A List Apart or the annual Web Design Survey, so I feel obliged to tell you about it.

The web design industry exists for more than a dozen years, yet there is a strange absence of data about our profession. A List Apart is trying to change that. With their second annual survey for people who make websites, you can help them collecting more statistical data. If you're a web designer of any description, you should fill it out - it only took me a few minutes to do so.

The 2008 survey corrects many of last year's mistakes, giving more detailed questions for freelance contractors and owners of small web businesses. There are also better international categories (good for me), and many other improvements recommended by those who took the survey last year.

If you, too, are from Europe, here is the current exchange rate: 1 EUR = 1,54 US $. Remember that you might get 13 or 14 annual salaries.
