I usually make websites 980px wide for content and the a wide slider could extend fullscreen to maximum 2000px or more or less, It doesn't matter, Its an Art and you can do whatever you want that you think its appropriate. Sometimes I will do a website 1040 px wide, and since its responsive it will work on 1024px Screens and less, sometimes i will make a website 1080 px wide, its up to you, but usually I like to use 980 px because its enough to add all the content the website needs and because bigger than 980px would not look nice with some designs.

So I was employed in an IT company based in Dubai, the salary was too low, so i got angry and this anger turned into an idea of starting freelance web designing, I started searching on online job sites, jobs for freelancers (local sites). I developed my own website (www.designsideal.com), my mates told me it looks pretty cool but I am not satisfied, I noticed I'm good with graphics and web development in general, but I don't know hell about Marketing my self, So everyday I made my effort to send My portfolio to potential clients, My total Profit in 60 Days: 77$ from a client I made him a Photoshop website mockup. So now I started spending hours everyday to learn about Digital Marketing, Marketing in general..and Finding free tools for SEO, I wrote a post btw about the free tools i found in the Forum, I'm discovering its all about marketing or someone helping you with marketing, but the 77$ was worth to realize this

To start i got advices to find businesses with crappy websites, but its easy to say, what kind of strategy to use to approach them, should i call them and ask for a 15 min of their time and go to their office next day... What about competition, i found a website for people looking for freelance webdesigner in my country, but there is competition, they are choosing people who have years of experience and portfolio with many projects, how can i make it through all the crowd
