1. Hello Whilst there is great demand for web design services both in the UK and overseas there is also a great deal of competition in this area. If you are considering starting up a web design company you need to consider your marketing skills and budget as much as your web design skills. A great advantage with web design or any other kind of internet based work is that you may be able to work entirely from home cutting back on traditional overheads such as office rental, additional equipment hire/purchase, travel costs, additional heating, telephone costs, etc. This factor ,combined with the demand is perhaps one of the contributers to why there are so many web design companies apparently in business today. There are agencies and online services where you can bid for freelance projects, however the nature of such 'projects' is often that of 'outsourcing' in which case you will most likely be bidding for a project alongside freelance web designers from all over the world including countries with a much lower expectation of salary who are able to bid much lower tenders than a UK business. An alternative idea is to seek employment as a web designer for a web design company which will allow you to develop your web design skills in a professional context whilst learning how a web design business is run before taking the plung yourself. Many employers offer fixed contracts. Take a look at http://www.webdeveloper-jobs.co.uk/ where you will find a variery of web developer and web design jobs in the UK. Good Luck Mat
