    If your question is about legality: No, its not legal. If your question is about morality: No, its not moral to do it. If your question is about getting away with it: Yes, you may get away with it What everyone is trying to make you understand is that it is not ethical to buy a 15$ license...

    Execution: Building my web design biz

    UPDATE: 1. Yesterday I got a new client. I made a post on my IG offering my web design services. An old friend reached me. He wants a website for a law firm he is launching and another website for a side project he is working on. He asked me for a formal quote, so I spent some time learning and...

    So much gold... I've bookmarked your answer and will reread it a couple of times. As I mentioned before, I'm starting to see that web design is more about solving problems and helping businesses than the website itself.

    Yeah, Fox channel has helped me tremendously in learning more about sales and web design. I'll check the rest of the resources you said. As you said, I'm learning that it all starts on solving problems, and how a website can help with solving those problems. Thanks for your advice!

    Haha the screaming is much appreciated. I guess that, due to my lack of experience and proof, I didn't feel comfortable asking for 2-4k, even though that is what I want my work to be valued at in the near future. You lay out some excellent points. So far I've been selling my web design services...

    The landing page would be more of a tool to gain momentum to the launch of his e-commerce website. As for now, the landing page would not really help him, given that he sells pretty much only on Instagram and a little in a couple of local stores. But you are right, I felt like I was pushing the...

    UPDATE: The following has happened on the week: 1. I contacted my first client. Did my best to explain to him how his business could benefit with a landing page to catch emails and build up momentum for their big launch, he was skeptical, he only sells by Instagram Dm's an doesn't see how an...

    Learning web design

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Personally, the difference between project based learning and textbook/course learning has been enormous. I've always found that I learn the most while working on building something, and also, the time spent building something tends to be much more enjoyable and rewarding than the time I spend...

    I don't think its fair to the OP to just say "You are not meant for this, give up". Lots of folks struggle at the beginning to find their way and make progress. Action faking and indecision is not a fixed attribute that can not be changed, its a habit that can be worked on. As for a YouTube...

    I would suggest that first of all, stop beating yourself up. You are 20, I get that you are hungry and want to jump straight into doing some cool projects, but things take time. I've been in your shoes. Everyday I was tired of being a wantpreneur, an action-faker, and it only made me more...

    Crap, it really was a very general description from my end :happy: If I integrate a full shopping cart, is that something that I should code on my own or is there an existing tool that I can integrate to the site?
