Quite a bad crash, but not the worst I've seen.
Wow man, thats pretty cool.
...On another note, how do you manage to get all of these 'freelancy' types of jobs?
EDIT: Just noticed one quite humerous font error.
Check the bottom
It looks like it says
"Bum to photo"

By word of mouth - this site is a redesign for an old client. I'm absolutely snowed under at the moment with work! I would be worried that it's interfering with my degree, but I was in the top 15% in the year in my exams last week! :)

Lol - all the text will be proper text in the final thing, thus removing the "amusing" anti-aliasing side effects!

Sweet!
Also - yeah, how much do you make for freelancing, and how do you advertise for these kind of jobs?

Eeeew!
Just saw the coding, and damn, that's ugly.
Use some Standards, please!

Ignore the code - the code is just there to stick an image on a page with a coloured background. I assure you the coding will be much nicer when it's a web site.

It really depends - at the end of the day, I'm only a student, so I can't charge as much as a full time professional. The best way to work out a quote for a site is to ask yourself "at what amount would I decline the work?". So if you are asked to do a site, and the customer asks you to do it for £XX, would you do it? That figure should then be your quote - it's fair for you, it's fair for them.
I must admit though, I often charge based on what I think they'll pay, which can be higher if I know a very quick way to do what they want, they might think there is more work involved than there actually is. But at the end of the day, it's up to them whether they go ahead with it or not.
In terms of advertising, I don't really. I have a website, and I put a link back to my site on every site I do, but in the 4 years I've had my site, I've never had any customers from it. It's mainly there to show off my portfolio to potential clients I might have been in contact - i.e. I can point them to my web site for examples of my work.
Most of the jobs I've had have been from the town where I used to live, or even the street where I used to live. The exception to that is this site, which I'm doing for a friend of a teacher at my old school. Like I say, almost exclusively word of mouth.
