Starting freelance web design?
I plan to start doing web design business soon . My experience in this field is beginner to intermediate at the most. I was wondering how I can get customers? I plan to use craiglist to advertise myself soon. If anyone knows a better way to advertise myself please tell me. Since my skills are at the lower end, I will charge less compared to those more skilled counterparts. Of course no server side programmings involved. I also plan to charge my clients by custom template designs and pages. However, I have looked to other people's questions on this topic, and many have answered saying that freelance web designers should be paid by hours. I don't know how thats possible considering I'm doing this business over the internet. If anyone can answer this, please enlighten me. Also, Is paypal a fine way to get paid? I don't want customers to reverse payment or whatsoever after receivng their website. How do you prevent this problem? Any links on how to start this busines would be appreciated.

Freelance web design work?
My sister in law uses Adobe Fireworks to design web pages for a company. That's all she does. The company she works for then turns her desing into an actual website. That's what I am looking for. A company that I can just do the designs and then they turn it into a site. Does anyone know of a place online that does this?I'm really creative but I have no clue how to turn the design into a functioning website. All I want to do is design.Give me the subject of the design and do one up.
