The 12 Facebook Groups for Web Designers Worth Joining
Joining Facebook groups in any industry is one of the best and easiest ways to familiarize yourself and make great connections.
Web design agencies and freelancers alike can find useful advice posted in Facebook groups dedicated to web design. Technical matters, contracts, and making useful connections are really just the beginning –?I’ve made connections that have led to making networking at events more enjoyable & essentially launched WP FeedBack with the help & support of the entire WordPress community.
The best thing about web designers who join Facebook groups is that they are very open about sharing everything they know with their community. This is because, in web design, there is no need for competitiveness and keeping business secrets, on the contrary. Given the sheer size of the industry, everyone can have their fair share of the market and succeed without directly competing with each other.
How Many Web Design Facebook Groups Should You Join?
If you simply go looking for web design groups on Facebook search, you will likely never be able to get to the bottom of the results list. This comes as no surprise, as Facebook is a favourite social network when it comes to online community building, and you’ll find heaps of groups dedicated to virtually every vocation on it.
However, no matter how enthusiastic you are about web design, do not try to join every group you see. If you do so, you will simply end up overstretching your attention, and this can make you dedicate more time to social media than you’d like. After all, countless Facebook notifications from all sides are not the best experience if you’re trying to focus on doing your job – or anything else, for that matter.?
Trying to handpick the groups that suit you best from the never-ending list on Facebook will probably take you too much time. This is why we have compiled this list of the 10 best Facebook groups web designers use. Read on and decide which ones are best suited for your particular needs.

Just by sitting around and reading posts and comments, you will increase your knowledge. Therefore, if you’re the type who can learn by reading without necessarily interacting, you can learn a lot through your membership in this group even if you’re not a WordPress master.

Summary – Community Is Everything
Facebook is still, by far, the most popular social network out there.
Use that to your advantage as a business owner. Getting into an industry doesn’t have to be daunting and especially when it comes to WordPress –?before you know it, you’ll feel like you know almost everyone!?
Joining too many groups can be time-consuming and distracting which is why we put together this list of Facebook groups we truly got a lot of value from and still do to this day.
Be sure to pick ones that really benefit you, complement what it is that you do and audit them regularly. There are a few groups (in every industry, not just WordPress) with negative atmospheres that have people with the wrong type of energy altogether so don’t be afraid to move on from a group if you come across that…
