Hi People,

I am new here and quite new to web design. I have recently finished a diploma with the Home Learning Library in Dreamweaver and am looking for some freelance work to build my portfolio in my spare time. Please take a look at my site and email me at samlaidler@btinternet.com if you would like a quote.

My website is www.cliffedgedesign.co.uk

I would welcome any pointers on how to promote myself from experienced designers.

Sorry if this is in the wrong topic but I am new to this forum.

Kind regards
Sam

I really don't want to offend you, but your website isnt going to get you any business. Your design is very basic, and doesnt really say "2010". You could do something a lot simplier, which would look a lot better.

You need to be looking at sites like twitter, google, facebook and bbc, and try to emulate that style and feel....that's what people expect nowadays.

I would have to agree, Its very HTML and Tables looking. You need to make it bit more 2.0

Easy!

Updating it would help draw in business though. Take a look at this which I came across by googling the website designs http://www.digitallabs.tv/ for inspiration for modern, simple and high quality design.

As for a qualification in dream weaver, at least when I started out, as bad as I was back then, i was more then aware it was the language not the software I needed to be good at!
