Technology touches just about every part of our lives, with websites performing all kinds of functions for us.
Be it working, groceries, banking and more, chances are the vast majority of us log onto several websites each and every day.

- De-bug applications: If something goes wrong, you will have to use your expertise to fix it and get things running smoothly again ASAP.
- Work on graphics, video, and/or audio content: Advertising campaigns that are rich in media often stick in the minds of potential customers more.
- Monitor website traffic: How is the website performing? Understanding this will help inform your next job.
- Develop site layout: Is the site easy to use? Does it take customers on the right journey?

- Futureproofed skills: Ecommerce is a rapidly growing sector, so you’re never likely to run out of work. Your skills may also be transferrable to mobile environments, which are becoming all the more crucial for lives on the go.
- Transferrable across industries: As websites and apps become crucial for any business, you can have your pick of the industries to work in. Have a passion for sports? Why not find a club, organisation or shop that needs help with web design. If you’re into video games, site building could even lead you into something even cooler like video game development.
- Be your own boss: If you’ve got the right kit, you can design web apps and sites from wherever you like. Setting up on your own will also give you the freedom to work on projects that you’re truly passionate about.
It’s fun: Plain and simple! If you’re into your tech, then doing it for a job might not feel quite like working at all. Turning a passion or hobby into a career is a sure-fire way to keep the Monday blues at bay and work in a role that gives you proper satisfaction.
