How long does it take to build a web design business?

Filed under: Business Web Design — Tags: , , , , — @ 7:58 am

I want to take some classes to learn about the programming. I dont have a degree and need to change careers rather fast. I would start doing it on the side until I can build up and have my own business. Once I have taken the necessary classes, how long does it take to build a business if you hustle?

  3. Web design is not just about coding or programming. I have met so many so called web designers that have NO design skills.

    It’s like hiring a magazine editor just because they know how to type. It does not make sense.

    First, make sure you have the design skills to design aesthetically pleasing sites. Then, proceed with the programming skills.

    The reason is that many small businesses (your market I assume since large companies already have a website or marketing dept.) don’t need anything special that might require too much programming.

    I am not trying to be critical, but you need to make sure this is something you want and can do before you waste your time with learning new things.

    I wish you luck and hope you truely succeed.

    FWIW, I use Coldfusion for programming sites that need dynamic interaction. However, I use straight HTML quite often. For jobs I do not have time to do, I use elance and get bids on jobs.
