Hi all,
Not sure if ya can help but worth a try.
I'm currently doing year last year of VCE at college. I'm hoping to go into a career in web design or system administrator. My question is - I'm looking at maybe doing something which can be done by me at home over the internet i.e monitoring a website for company or organization, updating on some sort of gaming site on new news etc that would help me further my knowledge etc. I know a fair bit about html (run my own site for support group i help run)
Do you know of any where I might be able to do this or any ideas on how i might be able to go about this.
Thanks in advance

I've been doing some freelance work in my free time over the last year or so, working at home, doing the programming side of websites.

Although to be succesful at web design you really need to know how to create very nice designs, using photoshop/fireworks. Knowing HTML is good, but HTML has it's limitations. A lot of people will want a nice design, cleanly coded with xHTML & CSS.

If it is more programming you want (ASP, PHP) etc. then i'd say to make sure you know the language you are doing well, make sure that you are able to remove any security holes, basically make sure all the code is water-tight.

The last thing you want is an angry client chasing after you a month later because their site has got hacked.

Also I'd say to start of with smaller projects, just to get the hang of things, and build up a portfolio of work. Be sure to know what you are doing for the money you are charging, make sure that you and the client know the term's. Keep in contact with them & make sure they are updated.

Hopefully that will help a little, if you want some links to some sites where I started off, PM/IM/Email me, just to stay on the right side of the ruls (just in case) .

Hi,

Home based work comes with benefits:
- You are your boss (decision making)
- Flexible timings
- Minimum starting cost
- Increase entrepreneurial skills
Finding a home based job is always time taking due to lack of strong relationships. But through Servana (my signature) it’s possible to get in touch with pros, freelancers and home based entrepreneurs directly.

Ignore this.
