Hello everyone,
I'm new to this board and to freelancing in general. I happened upon it by accident when someone I know recruited me to design a web site for her new business. I don't really consider it a source of income, but more of a hobby...at least that's how I see it anyway...it helps me preserve my sanity a little better when I encouter the "bang head here" kind of days.
The side benefits (sometimes in terms of monetary payment, sometimes a swap of services) is more of a perk than anything else. I might eventually promote myself a bit more to turn it more into a source of income, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
