Great video.
Let me offer a bit of advice for designers. There are certain clients you
will want to avoid. Each of these is based on my 15 years experience:
1) Churches. Many churches operated by committee and so you will never have
good clear direction on what to build or how to update because they will
not agree and the pastor will not oppose them or take the lead as you would
expect. Also, there is ALWAYS somebody in-house who will resent that the
site was outsourced to a professional firm and this person will always be
there working to undermine you. Also, money will always be a factor as you
are dealing with a “non-profit” organization. Do yourself a favor, just
stay clear of churches when prospecting web clients. I like using my
talents to help the Kingdom of God, but I’ll NEVER build another church
site.
2) Personal sites. Focus on providing services for organizations who have
money to pay for your professional services. Building a site for your
neighbor’s girlfriend is not the best way for a professional to spend your
time.
3) eCommerce. These can be highly profitable, but unless you charge by the
hour, these can seriously eat into your time.
IMHO.
So helpful, man, thank you so much!
i like that job please give me your email adress to inform me of any school
or a formation in france or wherever thanks first ;)
Mike, love this video. I have been freelancing in web design on and off for
the last 10 yrs., but I have a question for you. I have read that tables
are bad for page layouts and div are good. In your opinion which should be
used? If neither then what?
This guy is Spot on with his outlook. FREELANCE while you get settled into
what it is that you do….
Thx for this video man. I’m currently going back to school, at 32yrs old. I
want to get into web design and this video is great and very motivational.
Any tips on what to really focus on while taking classes ? Thanks alot
sorry if its a dumb question, but what’s U.I designer stand for?
89€ for access lol you’d wanna be the second coming of christ, do you use
DreamWeaver at all? I might join your site because you sound like an
informed chap, however I’d hate to be signing up for adobe tutorials…
anyway, thanks in advance man.
Mike, can I make good websites only with adobe flash cs6 ?
I first started about 10 years ago in high school designing Myspaces, but
landing a few design & programming jobs really helped me learn quickly. I
suggest you take it slow to soak in the concepts and learning the web
design workflow and focus on what you’re good at; don’t stress it if you
don’t know PHP, PERL, etc. because other people are better at that. You’re
better off befriending a programmer and working together. It’s gonna take
time but if you’re committed you’ll do great.
Hi Mike… good one. I totally agree networking is SOOOO valuable. The
disassociated “artists” make little money… I just have one question…
Can I borrow your address book? 🙂
hi Mich, i am from Iraq and i have dream that if come a professional enough
i may get a job in US or UK..think that possible?. how hard is it?
Practice, practice, practice. Take the next few months and work on personal
project with a big emphasis on UI Design (i.e. web apps, mobile apps,
tables, data, forms, wireframes, etc.).
UI = User Interface
