Yes I successfully started a career in web design and am currently working for a phoenix web site design company  http://www.websiteaz.com My best advise to you is to start learning the industry standard tools such as Macromedia DreamWeaver, Adobe Photoshop, and Macromedia Flash.  You can take several courses but real world experience is the best.  You can also offer to be a free part time intern for a local web company in exchange for learning some of the necessary skills.

I am a graphic designer and own a small graphic design company.  It is called Bittersweet Studios, Inc.  I absolutely love what I do.....it's hard work and I don't always get to design what I want, but what my clients want, but I really wouldn't want to do anything else.\n\nHere is my website: check it out if you want to:\n\nhttp://www.bittersweetstudios.com

Get together a good portfolio so you can show what you are capable of. Design some sites for yourself or your friends to start out, good sites, and then you can use these to sell yourself to potential customers. That would be working it freelance style. Or, you can try applying for jobs in companies who need web designers (although your chances are lower if you do not have some kind of higher education degree or some work experience), submit your resume and a link to samples of your work. If you do all of this right, the money should follow.

My god daughter studied this for 4 years and won several national and international competitions but the closest she's ever got to being a full time designer was working behind the counter in a jewellery shop!  Perhaps she was unlucky or perhaps thats the norm - I dont know.\n\nArt colleges across the UK deliver these courses, so I suggest you approach the closest one or wherever you fancy studying.\n\nGood luck!

What about a teaching assistant. If you have pc skills thats an advantage. You will earn good money and be able to help out the family. You could do freelance webdesign as as spare time occupation.

you don't need a degree. many freelance web designers say they don't have one. go to yahoo chat's web design room. they'll set you straight.

get in contact with new small businesses in your area and see if they need someone to design their website.. charge them a certain amount per hour you spend working (but dont slack off.. give them their money's worth), and from there they will reccomend you to other people

Web Designers are still in relatively high demand, but the need for programmers is increasing as well.  The long and short of it though is that you can't be a web designer nowadays without being a competent programmer.  It's just which discipline you focus on, the groundwork is basically the same.

The URL, you sent with your question, is rather interesting! About realities on ground, since you are actually present in the company; who else, but you should be the best judge as to your own suitability, in that environment? Additionally, consult your trusted, experienced friends, who are in the know of things.

There are many good web designers, BUT good and cheap don't go hand-in-hand. You have to pay for quality! A good designer cannot be expected to work for nothing. You really do get what you pay for.\n\nBefore you hire someone to design it, interview them and look at other sites they have designed. Don't just assume they can handle it and don't just take the first person who comes along. Make sure they can really do whatever it is that you need! Also get references and call them! Ask about not only how good they are at the job, but also how easy they are to work with, how easy they are to get in touch with, how quickly they work, etc. When you decide on someone, come up with a written contract together so there is less chance of a problem later. Working w/o contracts is asking for trouble - on both sides. Remember to allow for ongoing payment since there will be constant updates and maintenance. A site like this is not just a one-time setup fee.\n\nTo find a designer, don't just look in the Yellow Pages. Many of the good ones don't even advertise because they get their work by word of mouth. You can find them by calling local printers who work with freelance designers (many designers do both print and web design) or ask around if you know local businesspeople. \n\nIf it's truly a new concept, you should talk to an attorney about it. Call for a free consultation and see if they can help you - and get a professional opinion. \n\nGood luck with the site.

On a daily basis I find from 20 to 50 opportunities on Yahoo! Answers. Many of those end up being scams, MLM, vitamins or vi#gra. Only the rare opportunity comes along that is even looking to the future of business and the internet.\nI hope yours is this kind of opportunity.
