"We are experiencing a boom in web design careers and for web developers," says
Wendy Wagner, director of Career Services at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale
www.aifl.edu. "Graduates are getting hired the same day they walk across the
commencement stage! I get at least 10 inquiries each day from employers wanting to
hire our web design graduates for full-time employment and freelance opportunities.
They have a choice of where they go in terms of employment and salary options. The
need for web candidates is going to keep increasing as every form of communication
becomes more interactive and the Internet dominates the marketplace. An overview of
our curriculum and what our college offers is on our website at

Web design is constantly changing to reflect the demands of the consumer. An
effective web site requires design skills, an understanding of information planning
and interface design, and a solid grasp of technology.

One of the best ways to get started in this interactive industry is to pursue a
bachelor's or associate's degree in Interactive Media & Design from The Art
Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Faculty with solid grounding in this industry teach
hands-on classes such as web scripting and programming, interactive motion graphics,
net broadcasting, web marketing, photography and typography. Combining artistic
skills with technical know-how is what many advertising agencies are looking for in
their web developers and web designers.
