Thanks for the above. The job title can be digital designer instead
of graphics designer. Most of the local work does not fit within the
medium in which it is shared. I don't know whether it was a graphics
designer or a Front-end developer who did the work. Does that point
to a low understanding of web technologies? Would a
designer/developer be able to take into consideration the audience
he/she is targeting if he/she does not have any experience of that
audience? That might be one of the reasons for the salary discrepancy.
