Is it still a good time to start a Web Design business?

by admin on April 17, 2010

I’ll be graduating at the end of this year, from my web design and web development courses. Is it still a good time to start a web design business? And is it realistic to aim to earn £100K per year from web design and web development?

ufo_josh April 17, 2010 at 3:41 am: I started doing business as a webdesigner before I left school and now have people on a “waiting-list” to use my services. I have been working alone since I started, taking advantage of the full financial benefits but now have reached a point where I simply do not have enough time to cope with the business on my own so have employed three new people to assist me, a photographer and graphic designer, and another two web programmers, one of which also doubles up and works competently with flash. There are other webconsultant/designer/programmers working in my area but there is still plenty of business for us all to have.

I think if customers like what they get they will pay for it, competition is high but I still manage to find plenty of business in this area of work.

I would say get out and go for it, give it what you have and it will sort itself out…once you have a good reputation the business will come flowing!

Hope my advice helps.
