Great idea, thanks!

Speaking from my inexperience, I haven't done much with setting up store fronts / market places on websites for selling items, do you have any recommendations for what to use with wordpress?

I have been doing websites for myself and others (unpaid) and wish to start designing as a profession. Had some questions.

1) Quotes. I plan to quote, I see people have different opinions on this. My plan is to get a very specific website design agreed upon, which I will quote. Any additional work requested that is outside the scope of the agreement will be billed by an hourly rate. This is mentioned in the contract. I think that'd work to prevent scope creep?
This is certainly a great idea, you shoudl take it up as a full time job, it is one of the finest things to do sitting at the comfort of your home


2) Would it be possible to post the contract I have for feedback? It is 6 pages in word, I found it online, and made a few modifications.
Didnt really get whjat you are trying to say here? could you rephrase it?


3) My flat hourly rate is going to be 50 US Dollars, I believe that is a fair rate for someone just "starting" out, correct?
Yep anything between $35 -50 is decent, if you have some example of your work make a site and post everything there


4) Could I even post my website for feedback?
Yes you can, certainly


5) Any recommendations on good places to find work? I design in wordpress, not very good with graphics, but can also design in PHP, Html, and CSS (if someone wishes to have a simple website, with little bells and whistles).

Much thanks.
Try searching for work at Elance, it is one the best places to search for jobs

Thanks vivaan. Further down in the thread, I think I answered your questions. I was asking about posting the contract for feedback, and I also did post my website.

Not sure if my samples are good enough.. not very fancy graphic wise.
