    Kartel, glad you're open about things.

    The part of me that does the web side says no, you're a talented amature, but that's it.

    That said there is nothing stopping you. Your work is better than some people who post on here that are already charging for web design. It is a cluttered market and you will be looking at the low end at a couple of hundred per site to start with.

    I understand and totally agree. i came to the same conclusion. that is why I am trying ti finda hole in the market that the everyday WEB user would need. so question is do i try and offer everything for example. web design/ web hosting/ graphics/domain names/ web search etc. I dunno or do i just wait till i find that certain thing that can help more people i dunno hehe.. sorry im blabing but thinking out loud.

    crazy thing is i heard of someone in Warwick who was selling pixels lol heard he made a packet.. to me thats a crazy idea. but seemed to work. lol

    oh well goto be something out there. thks for the advice and am enjoying this discussion

    regards Kartel

    Quite often our markets are right under our noses. Your market is just other peoples needs matched with something you can supply at a profit.

    Look around you. Everything you see around your home or office has been manufactured and sold, every bit of wire that got plugged in was plugged in by someone on a wage. Then look around and see others needs, their wants, what makes their mouth water, what they have a desire for, what frustrates them and then see how you can match your skills to them for a profit.
