Freelance web designers have their website to rely on. That is the measure by which they will be judged by any prospective clients. If your website was created years ago with a WYSIWYG editor you may want to redo it.
Web design changes with lightening speed. You want to stay on top of the new technology if you expect to get new clients. Creating your website in Dreamweaver is a good idea but you want to know how to do all of the things in Dreamweaver without the program. The reason why you want to be able to hand code is because there are things that are much easier to do by hand than by using Dreamweaver.
As a freelance web designer you should be well versed in Dreamweaver and Photoshop and all of the other programs that can be used to make websites beautiful. However, you also need to know CSS and XHTML. The notion that knowing the front end of Dreamweaver and other software, without knowing the back end is enough is not necessarily true. You want to be able to offer clients a number of different options when it comes to your creative skills.
Finding work as a freelance web designer can be tough. However there are a few places that you should get your website posted and advertise for work. If you are looking for any type of freelance work there are a number of sites, such as http://www.sologig.com/ that you can register with. You will be able to post some clips and other information about what type of services you are offering. Jobs postings from around the country can be found there.
Web designers typically get work online but you might be surprised at how much work you can get from word of mouth. There is always someone that needs a website for something. Some people have a product that they would like to sell online but have no idea how to put a website together. Some schools would like to have a website for one of their sports teams but there is no one the staff that can do it. These are great opportunities that you can get from just talking to people that you know. Make sure that you tell everyone that you are a freelance web designer. You will be surprised at how many people are interested in your services.
It is important to have a rate chart established before you start looking for work. There are plenty of people online that will try to get you to work for much less than what your skills are worth. Check around and see what the standard rates are for whatever applications you are doing. You do not want to spend time doing work for less than what you should be making. Have a rate chart and stick to it. Do not let people talk you down on your rates. Offer a money back guarantee if you do not deliver the work when you are supposed to with all of the attributes that are supposed to be there.
Note: you can submit your info in this blog letting others know about your web design talents and some of the works you have done previously.

Is Getting a Second Job the Answer in Today's Economy?
Need A Second Job?
Can You Work At Home?
In today's economy, sometimes one job is not enough. Not everyone is involved in a Union with a high-paying career. Lots of families across the United States are struggling to make ends meet. Even with a high-paying job, you still may not be making enough money for all your wants and needs. Furthermore, a lot of people don't have the time or energy to work a second job. Work-at-home jobs could be a great solution to this predicament.
Why work at home? Working online is a great way to earn a little extra cash. It's fast and easy. There is no extensive training or knowledge required for these types of jobs. All you need for these positions is a little computer knowledge and Internet access. It is best to know a little about Microsoft Word as many of these jobs involve writing of some sort. So, if you have the time, dedication, and need to succeed, work at home.
What are the benefits?
Work at home jobs are very rewarding. First of all, they save you money on gas. Driving around to one job every day is expensive enough. With a work-at-home job, you never have to leave your house. You can set your own hours. If you are working two jobs or even looking for that second job, it can be very
challenging to find time to do everything. With a work-at-home job, there are no shifts and time limitations except for DEADLINES.
If you use your time wisely, all deadlines can easily be met. You can work early in the morning or all through the night; it's your choice.
Why not a real job?
If you are working one job already, it can be very hard for you or you potential employer to find a permanent shift that works for you and the company. In that case, it would also increase your chances of your application being rejected. Employers look for flexibility. Work-at-home jobs are great for time restraints because you will never be asked when you can work by an Internet employer. It does not matter to them when you work as long as you make the deadline. You will save money on gas as well. This is always a good thing. Also, with a work-at-home job, there is no risk of losing your job over an argument with a customer. You will not be working directly with clients in most cases, so you do not have to put on that false smile.
Work-at-home jobs are very beneficial to the second-job seeker. They will prove to be very convenient and easy to work with. Furthermore, you will need only a few very basic qualifications for one of these positions. There are, though, a few disadvantages. One major disadvantage is that you will not make huge profit with one of these jobs. These are good for those that only need a little bit of extra money. If you are searching for a job that will make you rich, this is not the one. Also, sometimes these jobs can be a little overwhelming and
frustrating because it appears that you are doing a lot of work with little pay. But, if you are persistent and willing to work diligently, you will make some good money.
So, if you are a second-job seeker with a little extra time, consider the "Home Work".
