6. Same thing for me and Web Design

Sat Nov 3, 2018, 07:20 PM

Nov 2018

WordPress, SquareSpace, GoDaddy, and every other "do it yourself without knowing Web Design" sucked the joy out of a profession I loved. I first learned Web Design in the late 90s. As all of the "do it yourself" programs increased in popularity, and as inexperienced wannabes climbed on the bandwagon and became "Web Designers" (and my "competition" ), I said "I don't want to do this any more," I didn't. I've been retired since September, but as you said, "It was good to be part of it during it's heyday, though."
