Many people dream of starting their own business but are unsure of where to begin. Today, the illusion of job security has been forever shattered, and more people than ever are starting small businesses, often home-based businesses, to insure their own financial future. The web design business is a profitable business that can be started on a shoestring budget. All it takes is a some basic computer skills, an Internet connection, and the desire to build a profitable business.
Web design is an industry that attracts many freelancers. I worked as a freelance web designer for 10 years and learned my share of lessons the hard way. Starting a Web Design Business was written to share some of the knowledge that I gained during a decade of freelancing as a web designer.
Starting a Web Design Business is available as an e-book for Amazon Kindle, for Barnes and Noble Pubit, or as a downloadable PDF. Starting a Web Design Business was available in paperback for several years, but is no longer in print.
The Web Design Business
The Internet has changed the way the world publishes and obtains information, conducts business, connects with friends and family, and finds entertainment. In fact, the Internet is often referred to as a disruptive technology because it has so dramatically and unalterably changed so many aspects of modern life. Internet usage has increased dramatically over the past decade and continues to see increased adoption. Mobile Internet usage is only beginning to catch on and has yet to achieve mainstream adoption in the USA. Mobile Internet usage in Asia, for example, far exceeds usage in the USA due in large part to lagging mobile broadband access and widespread poor site design.
The unprecedented growth and adoption of Internet technology creates new and exciting opportunities for shoestring businesses. Many people are now able to earn a respectable living, often working from home, in businesses that did not exist a few short years ago. Last year I contracted with a European firm to provide social media marketing services in connection with a new digital product launch they were undertaking. I was able to earn a respectable wage working from home in an industry that did not exist a few years ago. It was always entertaining trying to explain to family and friends what I was doing for work since many of them have yet to embrace social media in any significant way.
Web design and hosting is one of the new shoestring business opportunities. Web design businesses are perfectly suited to starting with little or no money up front and operating completely from a spare room at home. For that matter, much of the work could be conducted from a local coffee shop or Internet cafe. The opportunity to start a profitable business with little or no money down has never been better.
