Ramsay Taplan (Blogtyrant) discusses the changing role of web
designers in a detailed post, shared on social media, here. (I note that Blogtyrant has gone to https everywhere).
Since Wordpress particularly has made “do it yourself”
easier, the role of web designers, especially for small businesses, may have
become more challenged. Remember when
you needed help with things like Dreamweaver?
But web designers may be needed for advanced security
consultation, and for advanced plugins and themes.
I think the jury is out on SEO optimization, because
rules keep changing. I can remember the
days of coding my own metatags, until I found them not needed. I do think adding taglines to wordpress (as
opposed to categories) does help sites be found, especially with respect to
proper nouns and important concept names.
People using shared hosing can find once in a while
that the webhost has created an error 503, service not available. This can happen because of a spike in the
application pool managed by IIS, and it may sometimes be due to one
customer. Here’s the best link I could
find on the problem. It would sound plausible that this could happen with a DDOS attack on one customer on the server, so this could be a sensitive issue.
