July 6, 201214 yr Hello! I have been learning web designing this year, and so far I am happy with my learning progress. I am strongly considering being a freelance web designer, in fact I am more than just considering it. So far I have learnt: -HTML -CSS -and have recently learnt about SEO. To further my education in web designing, I will soon be learning: -Javascript -PHP Also, I did a Photoshop course, just to improve the design aspect of web designing (creating logo's, graphics, buttons, etc). My question is, what other skills/knowledge should I add for me to become a freelance web designer? Look forward from hearing from you guys! Thanks!
July 6, 201214 yr Good communication skills The ability to solve (sometimes complex) problems ... to name two.
July 6, 201214 yr I haven't started freelancing yet and at the moment just do this for a hobby. However i think its worth just getting stuck in. With the rate at which the web evolves you could forever be learning new stuff. Edited July 6, 201214 yr by Oscar
July 6, 201214 yr Knowing how to distinguish between what the client wants and what they actually need. What they want will frequently be something that talks about how wonderful their company is. What they need will usually be something that helps their users to achieve whatever they came to the website for. Edited July 6, 201214 yr by Renaissance-Design
