Hi everybody,
I am planning to start my own web developing business. First, I will be starting off at home and then seeing how it goes and will decide to take it to a bigger level. Keeping in mind the present scenario, web designing and internet based business are proving to be one of the most profitable businesses, but having said that it’s important here to deliver the best. I just want to get as much information as I can and tips before really getting into it. I am planning to start with one or two small projects and then thinking of expanding my business when having enough of work and resource. What do you people think on that? |

Hi,
I think you're thinking along the right lines, I am too thinking of setting up freelance but due to the current financial climate I am keeping my full time job on and working part time for myself as a designer. The main thing I am focusing on is having my own web portfolio up and running so have been working on a number of projects to ensure this happens. Once I have the website up and running I will then contact other small businesses and start small and work my way up. I have found that your work speaks for itself and word of mouth is key in this business, if you leave your business cards with clients they can then recommend you to others. Hope this has helped. |

Hello there!
That is what I did 3 years ago. I had a full time job and with much encouragment from family and friends and a very cool boss, who let me go part time, I slowly but gradually built up my portfolio. Within 6 months I was ready to go full time at my own business and have been busy ever since! You need to build up your portfolio, make contacts and network. Good luck! Joanne
