Starting up a web design firm does make sense, as long as there is a market for it in your area. There are plenty of firms all around the world that try to operate a web design business simply via email. Sometimes it can work, but quite often people want to speak face to face with the designer.

Starting a new web designing business is still viable because it is now easier to host your own websites and that web design tools are getting better. There are still certain people or companies who want to have their own websites but are lazy or not able to do it well. Thus, this is a very good chance for you to set your target customers and use your web design expertise to cater to their needs, for example customising for them rather than providing a 1-size-fits-all. Bottomline here is just go ahead!

First of all you need to clear whether you are just doing the designing or you are going to do the web development too. As in programming and stuff.

Well considering the web designing business or any other business, every business has the chance to prosper and gain more than the others. It's just the point on how you handle the business.

Considering in your case the web designing, first you have to make a good portfolio and try to get your hands on some good projects that you can show other what you can do. Try to get some creativity and something different in what you do.

Once the initial portfolio has been made, you have to market yourself and that too to the right people. remember that in whatever you do in business, the skill counts the 25% of the business and how you handle yourself and the comminication methods you use count for the rest.

you can make up your portfolio on the freelance website like guru.com and the likes. If you are planning to do some development then it is a very good advantage as the other people hire other to do this sort of stuff where you can save more like this.

finally putting is this way, if you've got heart and dedication nothing can stop you from becoming the top shot in the market. you just have o focus, create a better display of your skills, market, communicate, get good projects and you're on.

When considering a web design business, I think it is important to learn design from the standpoint of functionality. By that I mean, a website or page should always LOOK attractive, but its design entails more than looks. Just like a good mate, a website should have attributes and qualities other than just good looks. A web design should be robust and engaging to the user, and functional, informative, productive, and efficient for the owner.

A good design will attract users, and retain the by informing, entertaining, dazzling, or empowering users, among other attributes. At the same time, it will provide useful information, strong revenues, user statistics, and other data to assist the owner in making business decisions. These are some of the qualities of good web design. Designers proficient in these disciplines will find a competitive edge.
