As part of the Ultimate List of Blog Ideas series, this post contains blog ideas for web designers.
I’ve met quite a few web designers and some of them always tell me that they don’t know what to blog about. There’s actually a lot of blog ideas for web designers to consider. Most of my friends who are web designers not only are professionals or freelancers, but also love to immerse themselves into it like another hobby.
So, I’ve decided to it easier by sharing some blog ideas for web designers in hopes that not only do my friends benefit from this list, but the web design community benefits too.

The web design niche can be a very flexible one. I could’ve gone on and one, but I realized that many website designers have different focuses with their service. Some may offer some marketing strategies. Some may only develop on specific platforms. From some of the items suggested, you should be able to generate countless topics, altering them to suit your needs.
Of course, if I haven’t listed an idea that you’ve thought of, then please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below. I’m always willing to expand upon my list of blog ideas for web designers.

Excellent blog ideas here. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nile,
I do run into many web designers and these tips sure make it easier for them. I especially like Graphic Art Roundups for inspiration. Also using photos, which are the “rage” these days because people need to apply that.
Also, tips for the client. I can just imagine the headache it would be for a designer to deal with their clients. They do need tips once their design is done. That would add more value and less complaints lol.

Hello Nile, This is a great list my friend, I do believe it will benefit more people then just these Web Designers..
Like Video tutorials, you can teach anything online Right?
Thanks for sharing.. Chery :))
Great list of ideas/tips for website designers. Quite a few of your ideas can be altered and utilized by bloggers in a variety of specialties for educating clients and followers interested in what they have to offer. Thanks for this post, it got my wheels turning with different ways to use your list.
I totally agree that your Web Designer friends need to get blogging. We now live in a ‘content is king’ economy and if you are freelancing then start sharing your knowledge, because it’s only going to bring you more work.
Some people have that fear of sharing their knowledge, will make them redundant, the truth is that some people will always want you to do it for them. If you have built layers trust by showing off your expertise, then you are more likely to land that extra work. Plus Google will reward you with some free organic traffic.
Nile has opened a massive list of ideas for you. It’s up to you to take Action!
