Hello!
My name is Sasha, i'm from southwest Virginia.
I am just trying to get started with freelance webdesign. I have been working with html, and creating webpages for fun/hobby, for years now. Always using geocities.com. lol
This week, I decided to take a step forward, and purchase a domain - and attempt to set up my portfolio - and hopefully - meet with some potential clients, soon.
I'm not the best webdesigner around - I am still learning. But, I know of a lot of local businesses without websites. If I can convince some of these business owners of the importance of having a presence on the internet, and how a professional website can effect their business - I may have my first client or two. =)
I'm starting out creating a local website - it will have a local chatroom, message boards, local news and events - all things to (hopefully) attract people/potential clients. Then, this website will be my primary form of advertisement.
Anyway.. I've rambled enough!! lol
I look forward to reading some posts here, chatting with some of you! I welcome any and all advice, and "tips of the trade". =)
