Not getting much money for this (hardly any, infact), so it's just a quick design with a quick php login and admin system, and a villa management thing for users. Finishing it off today hopefully, really not going to spend much longer on it considering the money involved:

In other news my freelance work came back to me with a 'yes' - yay!

Creation forums are a good place to find the odd people.

Like game creation forums, etc, people want community sites, and its usually people who will pay a fair bit but not really sure what they want, so you can take advantage of them changing their mind once you've done the job.

eg, "i want a forum.." so you do a forum, they say "wow, that's cool" give you the money, and then they come back and say "umm, can you add a ranking system...?" and then you say stuff like "hmm, im pretty busy on other sites at the mo, so unless you can offer me a good deal, it'll have to wait"
I get alot of dump american people with strange amounts of money, so you can usually get about £200 off them in total for just a straight forward community site.

Yeah, go scouting for work like that, and as you build up a portfolio of work, you will get a lot of jobs through word of mouth. And of course redesign work - people do want sites redesigning from time to time.

How do you get so much freelance work may I ask?

People I've spoken to say they go into places and contact people to see if they want a website doing.

I can't see how that works but, meh.

To make that I'm guessing he used notepad and photoshop.

I do my designs all in photoshop. Then export for web.
I bearly use dreamweaver any more, but i use it because it has a nice interface, the real time design is pretty awkward.

What do you use?

I do the design, code, databasing stuff, etc. Basically anything on a website, I think I average out pretty good.

The person I work with, on the other hand, has a habit of drawing something in Dreamweaver, hitting 'Publish', then charging a client. That isn't web design.
