May 26, 201016 yr Soooo I'm Aimee, not long started out in the area of web design really. I started off a few years ago by making a website to get me referrals to make money online, aswell as creating a site for a local village committee thing. But I've always always loved design and working with computers. Then in January this year I managed to get a job with a web design company. I know very simple html and am entirely self taught. I primarily use sitemaker so nothing too challenging but I hope to further my own knowledge as I go. Any hints or tips.. even advice on where I can learn some more stuff.. would be great! I've just created my own website and business cards and things.. though I still kinda feel like a cheat, calling myself a freelance web designer. At least until I've learned a bit more, anyway. Ok, enough rambling for now lol.
May 28, 201016 yr Author Thanks for the kind welcome. Well.. it was a case of 'who you know, not what you know' lol. My dad knew a guy who knew a guy who ran a web design and optimisation company. He mentioned that he was looking for another web designer, so this guy told him I'm artistic, great with computers, know a small amount of stuff on web design etc. So the guy gave him his card. I called him, popped in to see him.. he asked me to design something there and then and show him what I'd done in the past, and gave me the job there and then. I've learned a lot from these guys since then. But I can tell that there is a whooole lot more to learn, lol. I'm enjoying it though.
