centamtom 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Hey. I am a freelance web designer and i can sometimes find it hard to get clients. I was thinkin of setting up a forum for web designers to offer their services, portfolios etc. And also for people looking for web design and seeing what the best price is for them to get. Do people think this woud be a good idea and work or will it be a flop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mich 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2007 I don't know why a Web Design forum wouldn't work. Tho, I find that this graphics forum fits me comfortably. I do simple web designs for the beginner for free; so finding clients is not a concern for me. Good Luck! My animated sig is a link to my site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie.Knox 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I'm not so sure. There's several places similar to that. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is basically what you need, except people offer projects.Just search freelance web designers in Google and there's plenty of them.

hitmanblood 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 Yeah I think this is good idea you can set it up and start working although it might proove to be a lot of work to be done however you will soon make your site and certainly need scripts to run this all. Good luck with your project I really think that is good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanblood 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 its at http://www.webdesigncentre.proboards101.com/.... hope im not spamming if i am i apologise Well I checked it maybe you should try some more appealing skin for the forums. And also maybe some script because if you think that someone will work real projects for free I think that you are wrong so some more work would be good. And maybe this new community will rise. Also with help of Xisto it might grow because many people come here inexperienced and want some sites worked for them so for cheap freelances that would be heaven.
