But I think where I live (The Netherlands) you can call yourself Junior/Senior Web Developer. If you get a degree you can call yourself on the European standard. I believe I’m a BICT, which stands for Bachelor of ICT. But I don’t really like that title, so I don’t use it 😛.

He’s in Brazil, where logic rules and the RIAA have no power.

Take me to Aruanda… 😊

I was hired as a Web Developer specialising in PHP with HTML/CSS/JS on the sides, and my boss let me chose what to put on my card aswell.

I ended up going with Software Developer seeing that is what i am creating.

...we will call you CYGNUS the god of BALANCE you shall BE….

I am more curious to know what others call themselves… I run a small Web Development Firm (4 employees)

How about Principal? You can put “web development” by the firm name. Principal makes it clear that you have decision-making authority within your organization, which is important to the people you deal with.  It also connotes more expertise than if you said anything more specific. If you’re principal, they give you credit for knowing the whole process. If you use a title that sounds technical, they’ll assume you don’t have any design sense. If you use a title that’s design-related, they’ll assume you’re technically incompetent.

I’m a “Principal Developer” in the finance sector.  The title is wired to the salary rather than the responsibility and any savvy business/sales person will realise that.

When I was freelancing, my card just had “Freelance Web Consultant” on it with a few selected styled keywords.  Worked wonders.  Then the tax man got me!

Sr. PHP Developer

I would avoid putting a specific technology in your title like llbbl here.

PHP Developer = You only know one technology, useless.
Web Developer = Only know how to make websites.
Software Developer = Sounds like a script kiddy, probably dabbled in VB.net for 20 mins.
Software Engineer = Sounds sciency, this guy can make anything.

I just like being able to say at parties that im a self employed engineer. Don’t say WHAT I engineer as you either get the whole “ooooo get you!” or “ha, nerd, fuck off”.

Ok, ok, get a second pair of pants ready for this one…

What do you call yourself?

Sean, how about you?

Oh how funny I am! 😛

Software engineers don’t actually do the work, they just think about the best way to make software.

Well in the end I went with
