Setting up a web design office
You have dabbled in web design and designed and developed a few sites for some local businesses. Now you fancy doing web design for a living. Maybe you are a web design who has recently found them self out of work and are considering setting up on your own.
Setting up your own web design business can be exciting and daunting at the same time, the potential is great, but so are the pit falls. You could set the hours and projects you work on, but you could also not be able to pay your bills. There are also lots of things to consider, like tax, do you lease an office? where will the work come from?
A couple of tips for success
Build up your business contacts while still in full time employment - this way you will get a steady stream of work.
Don't work on your own! If you work with somebody else or in a shared office space, that way you won't suffer from the dreaded cabin fever and lose motivation when clients are thin on the ground.
Beg steal and borrow. You will have to use you initiative to get a business up and running successfully so think creatively. If you can reduce bills by designing a web site for your land lord then do it, you'd be surprised how many people actually agree.

I always go with honesty is the best policy, be honest with your clients on what you can and cannot do but most of all be resourcefull remember if your client asks for something and you know you cant achieve it off the cuff, the likely hood is that you know someone who can or can point in you in the right direction.
