% of net users that are web designers?

[toolman]

Hi

Just wondering what percentage of people that use the internet are web designer or are interested in web design? Any idea how i would find that out?

 

[{insert name here}]

I don't know the real stat, but most everyone says they are a desinger, so I would say including these people 75%

 

[Aaron D.]

Very few, most likely under 10% and even that is on the high side in my opinion.

 

[toolman]

ok thanks.. i thought it would be higher, so i'll think again about usign it as a marketing point!

Yeah there are people that say they design sites, but I wouldn't call frontpage designing sites.

 

[DJ-Sound]

out of everyone? 1-5% tops.

 

[peter phillips]

My guess is about 10-15% percentage of people that use the internet are web designers. Can't really guess the percentage of people who are interested in web design. There may be many.

I'd think you would be lucky if it was 1% at most.

And maybee 5% know a little (not enough to build one themselves)

 

[dojo]

Few people are interested, few know something and even fewer are good.

I dont know a way of finding it out but perhaps I can guess atleast a 60% will be interested in Web Design.!

 

[Amnezia]

most people who call themselves designers are not

my guess around 2-5% of people could design a site that would pass a reasonable critque.

 

[CrazyOldGoat]

My guess is well under 1%, probably under 0.5% and probably about 2% are interested to be honest. If you think about it, most people who use the internet will never have even thought about designing a website before. Most people use it for information, for work or for school

imho, 10% maybe? considering the amount of portfolios and freelances out there (being one myself) 10% wouldn't be exaggerating...

 

[JYM]

10% would totally be exaggerating... if you take the world's internet population and then you divide by 1 400 000 000 pages indexed by google.... then consider how those who are actually web designers probably own 100 pages each... you will probalby come to maybe 1%.

The thing is, most people who use the internet are not very good with computers, this is a proven fact. This is the reason why user accessibility is very important in web design, for the simple reason that some people aren't too good with computers. those that are good with computers still don't bother with web design.

 

[snareklutz]

1% if you're really lucky, 0.1% is more like it.

Imagine if all types of websites had an equal amount of users. I could definetly list around 1000 types of websites...

 

[drifta]

i agree with snareklutz 0.1% seems realistic
REAL designers tho

 

[smub]

3-6% are actually web-designers because there alot of people who use internet and dont know anything about websites

 

[000]

I have no idea either, but my guess is that it's not much more than 1%

 

[Keral_Patel]

If you think making a page in dreamweaver is web designing then 10% to 15%

And If you are talking about PHP and ecommerce developers. then 1% hardly who knows what they are doing.
