This page is an informal salary list from various web professionals, both freelance and wage slave. Your mileage may vary, of course. It is *NOT* authorized or supported by any "professional" associations. I maintain it as a courtesy to fellow web professionals, whether they are members of a networking group or not.
Also, bear in mind that these listings are merely what is being paid to some people as of the date that they list, for the duties that they list. How much you can get is a combo of skills, luck, and chutzpah.

Name: anonymous

Title: Web Development Associate
Location: Washington, DC
Pay Rate: $35,000 after 2 years in company
Duties:
Content development and maintenance, graphic design & page layout, light javascript, graphics optimization, sound and video encoding for streaming--most of the basic stuff that keeps an existing site functional. I also develop small additional websites for company projects. I don't have any managerial responsibilities here, though it's a fairly collegial atmosphere and we're encouraged to take a lot of responsibility for our site areas and our professional development. Rough equivalent, heirarchy-wise, to a production assistant on a TV show.
Qualifications:
Bachelors in English and Fine Arts. High intermediate Photoshop skills, editing, copy writing, internet research, customer service. HomeSite, PShop, Illustrator. 5 or so years cumulative Web background, largely in content development.
Additional Comments:
I am *astonished* at the variations in pay levels here, given the skills and job descriptions.
I work for a nonprofit. My salary level is between $5000 and $15000 lower than I would expect in the private sector, depending on the industry. Fairly good benefits. I *feel* well-remunerated, FWIW.
I would personally be interested in knowing more general demographic info like gender and age of respondents. (32/F, FYI)
