10 Things I Wish I’d Known before Starting a Web Design Business Freelancing on the side to earn extra income is all well and good. But if you want to start a business that generates a full-time income, here are some things to know. 1. Web Design is a Commodity Low barrier to entry and an abundance of do-it-yourself options means clients have too many choices and no basis upon which to make the best decision. 2. If you’re unable or unwilling to learn how to sell your services, consider partnering with someone who can. 3. “Sales” is everything that occurs after a prospect agrees to meet with you. 4. Despite claims to the contrary by so-called experts, cold-calling is one of the most effective means to obtain new business. 5. Business owners don’t value your HTML skills or your time. 6. Over the years, I’ve lost more deals to the decision to do nothing than other web firms. 7. Writing a proposal is a poor way to close a deal. 8. Obtaining content from the client is one of the most challenging aspects of web design. 9. 10. Image credit
What's a good replacement font for ITC Avant Garde Std? - Graphic Design Stack Exchange Just to add, if the ascenders on Futura PT are too crazy high, or if someone finding this is looking for a free alternative to ITC Avant Garde, Didact Gothic on Google Web Fonts has many features in common. The capitals are less eyecatching than Avant Garde's, and the letters are more uniform (e.g. no crazy-slim r), but it has a similar clear clean simplicity. It's probably suitable for use in titles or large, short (bullet list?) text. It's got a decent range of glyphs, but unfortunately only one weight (standard/400), so it's not a good replacement for the elegant light or heavy Avant Garde weights.

7 Website Design Trends To Watch In 2015 The end of the year is coming and that means your inbox will be flooded with “best of” and “trending” posts. I know, I know, it’s not even Thanksgiving. BUT, when it comes to what’s trending, you don’t want to be caught trying to plan big changes at the last minute. Coming from a compulsive procrastinator, trust me when I say this never ends well! Before we dive into my predictions for the top website design trends to watch in 2015, I’ll start by summing up key trends that emerged in 2014. I can do it in one word.

Top 10 Web Design Trends of 2013 As this year draws to a close it’s time to look back and see all of the crazy design trends that have taken over the Internet in 2013, and more importantly, that we here at Skillcrush have fallen for. Just when you thought the web was starting to find a rhythm (in this case, standard width, layout, font-size) a whole bunch of new guys and devices came into town and back we are in the wild west. And boy oh boy did we have fun chasing them (almost) all down. Big text Look, it’s hard to read on these computer screens! And don’t even get me started about squinting to read text on my mobile phone. Thank god(dess) that the designers at Medium, Svblte, and the New Republic, and yes, yours truly, took heed and nary a font-size smaller than 16 pixels can be found! Inline editing One of the more exciting trends is the schmancy inline editing that Medium and iPhone apps like Clear have rolled out. There seem to be some user experience issues with this (how do I add an image to my Medium post again?!)
Original And Innovative Web Layouts Advertisement The layout is the foundation of your website. It guides the user through the sections and tells them what is most important. It also sets the aesthetic of the website. Therefore, you need to carefully think through how you lay out content.

Cropp Cropp has a big and bold personality, and the layout showcases it.
