Re: web design career becoming obsolete? please no!

Liliane,

Everybody thinks he's a webmaster. Publishing a page on Geocities isn't
doodley.

Remember when everybody went to classes to learn Basic and thought they were
programmers?

The average web amateur doesn't even run a spell-checker on a page. I went
to a site today to email a local publisher about offering discounted web
pages to local businesses on a couple of my domains. Couldn't find it on any
search engine, so I called them. The receptionist didn't know the URL. She
checked with somebody and told me the URL but she also told me it was busted
and wouldn't let anybody in. Sure enough, their in-house amateur has it
screwed up so that one has to be on their LAN to access it. I'm not gonna
tell them the problem unless they hire me as Webmaster.

I checked their links and every single page they link to is hokey, downloads
slower than a Netscape complete install, has bad Java script and says stuff
like "visit are sponsors" and "people do there business with us".

If I were you, I wouldn't worry quite yet.

Jim
