The results from The Web Design Survey 2007 have been translated and it makes for some very interesting reading.

Here are some things that have surprised me.

Age

I always thought it was a young mans game. Young man being male/female 18-25 years old. Looks like there is a few years left in this old dog.

Gender

Maybe this is based on me being in the West Midlands, UK but 1 in 5 of my peers isn’t female.

Geographic region

There was 20% answered from the EU (except the UK) and 11.2% from the UK. There seemed to be a high percentage of people who answered from the UK compared to the EU, maybe this was a language issue.

Type of organisation

I was surprised to see about a quarter of people are either self-employed or freelance, that seems quite high for any industry

Years at current job

Looks like people move around often, I’m in the 3.6%
