Not Learning New Things :

I personally know a couple of web designers who didn’t actually bother learning how to code, even just the basics, because they’re designers and not coders. Umm, what? If you do this then consider your career already ended.

Web design isn’t just about using Adobe Photoshop! Well, before it surely was, but right now people are looking for the whole package. “If you can design it I’m pretty sure you can code it too, right?” is what most employers would ask. You can’t just stay too isolated in your own world that you begin to forget the world is changing. It’s a sad truth, but all-rounder are getting more and more successful by the day than those who just focus on one thing.

If you are a designer who doesn’t know how to code, then you should start learning how to code right now!

For those who know how but are reluctant to learn new things like jQuery, JavaScript CSS3, and HTML5 (relative to those who only know HTML and CSS – the basics), you would do yourself a great favor by at least touching these topics a little. You don’t want to get caught off-guard!

  1. Learn how to code, or at least read and understand the basics to give you a whole new perspective of things.
  2. Follow web design blogs to be always updated.


Since in the world of technology nothing is permanent, and only those who can adapt survive the longest.
