lol. Wow thats amazing keeper
Anyways I'm not really a web developer. I just "build" joomla sites. Hench the (what i thaught was) cheap price. But i guess people prefer to go to real web developers and pay 6k plus for their sites.
Alas my short career as a "web designer" has come to an end. I will just be building my own sites from now on and maybe some freebies for my friends

IMHO, the only way to successfully make a living from websites is if you are a web developer and not a designer. Being able to develop any custom website according to a client's exact needs is where the money lies. And then I'm not talking about your standard "about us / me / my dog" website, but something functional, preferably data-driven. There seems to be a real scarcity in web developers these days - especially ones with some talent, skill and knowledge of the industry. Various recruitment agencies have confirmed this!

There are so many clients who only want an online brochure - how do you sell them "something data-driven?
There are so many fields in the web industry. A simple website design course will teach you the basics. Then go into PHP and SQL. That is certainly a good foundation for web dev. If you're good with PHP you can do almost anything, or create/build any client specific web app.

Don't understand the obsession with Joomla on this forum. Drupal is by far the better CMS.

You mean PHP and MySQL, right?
Another very important part is CSS... all sites use it these days and being able to do it above having to customize every page is a bonus.

Well for linux yes, but remeber MySQL, SQL Server, MS Access, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, and other database systems all use a SQL (Structured Query Language)

Is that really a big deal? Any decent enough host has a 'good' site builder included in most packages...

I'm sorry but this statement is depriving a village of its idiot.

Speaking of site builders, one of the decent ones I found (as far as site builders go) was http://www.synthasite.com/
They are pretty good, but there are better 'paid' ones out there. Hosts with site builders usually get the package with 100's of ready-to-launch templates, that makes web design simple for the client.

oh excsue me
Just copying what w3schools.com had to say... Besides, it does still use a form of SQL, whether you like it or not!
Well I just wrote my MS Access 2007 exam and nowhere could I manually type in SQL to generate my report .... Access will let you view and export the SQL generated, and if you use it as a frontend to MSsql then (I thinks) you can manually type in SQL.
EDIT: But then again who care as long as you can get the job done...
Well I guess then W3schools is in-correct.EDIT: But then again who care as long as you can get the job done...

Hi everyone..
I'm starting a company next year, and I was wondering if anyone here would like to make some extra cash?
We need a website design, so I don't mind if it's freelance or through your respective company.
Basically, there needs to be a flash version and html version (choice from loading screen)
We have an idea of how it needs to look, which i will divulge once I have an interested party
It needs about 5 tabs (abous us, contact us etc etc etc) and an awesome front page.
I am assuming you will need advanced flash skills, because the vision behind the website is quite intensive.
Budget range is approximately 6k.
If you are a website designer, or happen to know of one willing to work under that budget, please send me a PM
Thanks a lot!
