Why Web Design

The design industry is seeing substantial expansion, according to Skillnet Ireland and The Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN) 2020 report, with demand for designers and design skills in Ireland skyrocketing. Design jobs have more than doubled in the last five years, with 65,000 to 70,000 predicted by 2025. With only 1,300 design graduates graduating each year in Ireland, a serious shortage of designers is on the horizon.
