@svelon I wholeheartedly agree.

@porcupine I hope, my friend. I hope.

@lexx I’m still a novice, I assure you

Think about your work (as holds for almost any work) as art.
As porcupine said, first of all, you do it for you!
Recognition is a good thing when it comes, but the most important thing is to feel satisfied and proud when you finally go to bed after hours of hard and successful work

Okay, I want to chime in here…

I’m NOT a designer, barely a would-be web developer and a lousy copywriter for the web. In short, I am pretentious enough to think that what I write about might interest some other people (in my case, that’s mostly my family and friends that I left behind in a far away cold and misty country).

But I cannot even begin to tell you how I admire the work that you professional designers and web developers do! That’s why I follow a number of blogs written by you über-geeks. I’m sure you are an inspiration to many. I love to browse through well coded CSS files, beautiful XHTML code is like poetry to me. Even though I could never write it myself, I do and I can appreciate the beauty of it. I’m sure there are many of us lurking in the grey silent masses, soaking in the symphonies that you produce.

Now, if only I could one day make some money off the web so that I could afford to pay one of you guys…

The opinion of certain people is more important than others. Kudos from a web designer is better than kudos from a civil engineer.

Lovely post. I guess most of the designers out there who are part of the mass, they tend to create mediocre to bad work, but they survive, they keep on creating mediocre stuff and in the end of the day that pays their bills also.
I like what Gerasimos says about “Following Web Standards bring me more “in the loop” clients”, but is this just a designer fetish thing? Should we put ourselves in the position to need to choose who we are working with, or is it just a job and we shouldn’t be worried?

Being a freelancer for almost 8 years now and with absolute zero budget spent on advertising, pixel perfect mockups just bring me more clients. Following Web Standards bring me more “in the loop” clients. This sounds a bit weird but this job is paying the bills so yes, this is the first thing to have in mind. Everything else, comes second.
