The market for freelance web design is huge. Being able to design a beautiful site in Photoshop is one thing. Programming a website is a whole other story.
So when clients come knocking at your door asking for web design services, what do you, the non-programmer but rockstar designer, tell them? “Sorry, I only design, I don’t code.” No! You take the job, and team up with an equally rockstar-esque programmer to develop the site that you design.
Easy, right? Well… not exactly. In case you haven’t noticed, there are many (too many) “hack” programmers out there. They talk up their capabilities, techie background, and all powerful programming skills, but just can’t deliver the quality results your project and your client deserve. Finding the gem in the bunch can be a tough task.
