Hello,
I'm creating this thread to track my progress in starting my own web design business.
I joined this forum last fall and found the thread by @Fox about his web design business. I then joined his FB group and bought his course.
I have gone through the course and have also learned WordPress, HTML and CSS. I've also taken courses on SEO and copy writing. I'm now beginning to look for some clients in order to build my portfolio.
My first priority is to build a portfolio by doing two or three free sites.
I have started looking for new clients by looking at FB pages and Yelp. Virtually all business seem to already have websites.
I'm also looking at existing websites in order to find those that are not very good. But, I'm not exactly sure what I am looking for in that regards and am not confident yet of my ability to do a better job myself.
I've read various sales books and watched some you tube videos. There seems to be a difference of opinion on the value of cold calling/emailing. But, since I don't know of anyone who needs a site, I'll obviously need to start off in that direction.
