freelance web design
How many times have you needed work done on your site and blog that was above your level of expertise? How did you go about finding someone to do the work? I usually ask friends, or I’ll spend a lot of time looking online for solutions, and try to work out the problem myself. Sometimes, I just can’t figure things out though, and I need the advice of a pro. A great solution is to hire a freelancer who accepts web design jobs. Freelancers are typically more receptive to doing smaller side jobs. Those of you with knowledge in Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop, and other design software may be able to find sidework there as well to keep you busy, or enough to give you a regular income.

I stumbled upon your post searching for the keyword ‘freelance web design’. Though you’re giving valuable information to those in need of a freelance designer, I being a designer have been questioning the effectiveness of those freelance marketplaces. I had a profile at ifreelance for nearly a year, paying around $10/mo, and I have only had 4 interested clients)none resulting in a job. I have had more success using Craigslist - free - targeting local clients looking for direct contact with freelance designers or design firms in their areas. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks
