I want to know how it would benefit a small business owner to engage in web design.

Well, depends on what kind of audience you want to target and what locations you are targeting. If you're opening a brick and mortar store, a website might not benefit you much, other than serving as a basic ad telling local people where you are located. Unless you're thinking shipping nationwide, then a website would be a good idea.

People typically want instant gratification ...... get their new computer as soon as they decide they are going to buy one.  Also while not impossible it is hard to beat the prices of the "big box" stores.  The way i see it is the biggest advantage of a small shop is that there is a lot more customer service, that makes owner personality a huge factor.\nRather than incurring all the expenses of opening a shop why not try making them out of your garage/house/apartment whatever and then provide installation/repairs at peoples homes.  People love the convenience and the good customer service.  Hard part is getting your name out but expenses are soooooooo much lower and it can always be done part-time as a side business

Designing websites is fun and easy, but I recommend starting out for fun before you try and turn a profit.  Visit the website www.wc3schools.com for tutorial type guides on how to make webpages, and then start with a free webhost such as www.geocities.com\n\nGood luck

http://www.remax.com is good... but do some research to get what you want, so that it is more meaningful to you and your needs. Here is some design advice, I hope helps.\n\nCheck the big names and then include small local realtors in your area so that you can get an overall point of view on what the others are offering in their Website package, then decide if there is anything you can add to improve what you will be offering to your customers.\n\nWebdesign is not just what you think is pleaseing to look at, think also what the viewer/visitor will be viewing, versues what they want for content. \nA few quick ideas:\n\n1. Content, make it easy to find pertinate items that the visitor need to make the visit worth while, and they will return.\n\n2. Design, pleasing while stright forward. Easy to navigete. Also if you go high tech (flash), don't go overboard. And by all means look at what others have done. Then incorporate the best ideas and despose of the bad.\n\n3. Domain name. Think of an easy to find name, that is unique to your market. Then check for the availablity of the name in a Who's it listing. Link below will assist you in this.

First get the business logic in hands or the documentation if you have, because you might need to redesign it again.\nBut if you do want to keep the client/server by it self and you know how the system works, then you can create a web services touching some of the important business logic.

If you have your own web site, use design elements from it so there is obviously a connection.\n\nYour personal stationery, starting with your logo, letterhead, envelope, business card etc must be the absolute best you can afford to produce. A quotation and invoice are no different. They are all part of your client-touching communications package.\n\nKeep the design clean, simple and easy to read. Is this something you will be mailing or presenting in person? You might consider a brief laptop presentation of the quotation.\n\nIf you want to impress him, do it with content. Show that you understand the importance of setting goals for the site, identifying target audience(s) developing a detailed site map, building wireframes for major sections...and testing, testing, testing of navigation. This is Phase I.\n\nPhase II is paper comps of basic design styles. Allow steps for at least two sets of revisions.\n\nPhase III is actually creating the code. \n\nYou can break your fees up into three parts too, so you have some cash flow and he can pay as he goes.\n\nIf you need more help, email me.\n\nGood luck.

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.

There are so many things you have to consider: location, rent, employees, taxes, permits, filing of business papers, utilities, store fixtures, accountant and/or employee payroll system, suppliers, bank account, loans, insurance, possibly an attorney, knowledge of state labor laws, payment of state unemployment/disability for employees, computer system for ordering, a plan for shipments, etc.  I think you should talk to a business owner in person to ask questions, if possible.  If not, go to www.sba.gov - they have a Small Business Startup Guide.  This should be a good starting point.
