I have taken my web design certification, but missed the first classes where we discussed web hosting and the like. I would like to be a freelance web designer but I would like to know the best process to go about offering my services. What is the proper process I would use to build a website for someone? I can handle the graphic design part, the javascript, html, etc. Just need to know the hosting process and stuff, in terms of offering my service to others.

Oh boy, that%26#039;s a tall order...well, I%26#039;ve been doing this for a while and the first thing you need to do is decide what sort of web designer you are going to be.
See, I have been doing the one on one connection with clients. I%26#039;ve made some lifelong contacts and loyal customers that won%26#039;t go to anyone else for their design needs.
But I have had clients that made me want to rip out my hair, scream and toss in the towel without a glance back!
I%26#039;ve been lucky not to have had many of those, but they are out there. So you need to be prepared to be eaten alive and torn apart by the worst of them if you want to survive in this niche.
Another thing that is happening is that it is getting easier and easier for anyone to make their own websites. The software is out there and it%26#039;s getting easier to use...faster, more professional - AND they don%26#039;t have to know one tag or line of script to make a drop down awesome site.
It stinks! But that%26#039;s the reality to it...I%26#039;ve come to the decision that after all these years, I%26#039;m going to keep my clients and those that they refer me too I will consider. But I am going to do what I love to do - create websites!
Most designers live for the design and the creation of a vision. So if that is what you love, then do it. Then sell the sites for a price. If someone wants to buy it and have you customize it a little, that%26#039;s easier than starting from scratch.
I like godaddy for hosting and such because the cost is reasonable. Domains are a good price too and there is help just a phone call away to tech support at anytime 24/7!
You can check out guru.com and offer your services there if you want to go that way. Or search for projects to see what you want to make a bid for.
There are several freelance sites that offer this option.
In the end, you need to decide what will make you happy and allow you to be free to choose what you%26#039;re doing and how you do it.
Its as much your perspective and how you see your business as the actual running of the business. In this, attitude counts big time. That and studying...a lot!
I wish you luck as in this industry, it is a never ending cycle of learning and trying to keep up with the changes and moods of the technical world.

I would first start with displaying your skills and background on craigslist. Then from there try moving into social networks. when you first start out you have to hustle and market yourself until word of mouth or referals take care of the rest for you.
Reply:Well first you%26#039;ll need to build a portfolio. Obviously, people won%26#039;t hire you if you don%26#039;t show them what you can do.
Then set up your own website. Make it nice and elegant, remember you%26#039;re offering to make similar ones to clients. Be sure to set up an e-commerce account.
Then promote your site! Advertise and SEO.
Understand that businesses don%26#039;t get built overnight. It takes time and energy. Be patient and work at it, and I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ll make it. I%26#039;m sixteen and working towards becoming a web designer, and my mentor says he charges $40-$120 per hour for freelance work he does. Yeah, that%26#039;s big.
As for hosting, I recommend dreamhost. They%26#039;ll give you lots of stuff. I have a page of promo codes for them, too, if you%26#039;re interested. The site is kinda sorta still being worked on, in fact I only threw up this page for this question (yet I will no doubt later make reference to it)
ericvernon.com/promo.html
One last thing: you may want to consider, as you get bigger and better, to host your own site, and then offer web hosting to your clients as well as web design. Just a thought.
Reply:make a site that u can actually advertise(it doesnt really matter if it%26#039;s a free domain or not) just show on the site the best of your knowledge in designing... then got myspace?post it there.. tell friends, newspaper, post it anywhere u can... and upon that site u can leave some contact(e-mail..etc) then eventually, as people see your %26quot;viewing talent%26quot; they%26#039;ll just contact u etc...
one more thing, go find some small enterprises on such advertisements for web design( whatever that relates your field) and pick it.... it%26#039;s a great one way of advertising yourself and the same time practice right?
goodluck..%26gt;=D
Reply:Okay, this is going to sound REALLY off the wall... but that%26#039;s because I%26#039;m more interested in offering information that might have a positive influence on someone%26#039;s career or life, than I am in getting a vote for best answer.
Here goes... yes, I could offer a bunch of advice on web hosting and web design and even programming. However, none of that is going to make your job any easier, because what you%26#039;re about to enter is highly COMPETITIVE.
And there is an answer to that.. DON%26#039;T be competitive. Instead, focus on giving your clients something with real value. Focus on giving them MORE than their money%26#039;s worth, and new clients will be knocking your door down.
This isn%26#039;t a new principle... it%26#039;s been around for almost a hundred years. If you%26#039;re up for a bit of reading, check out this online book. If you make it to the finish, it will be worth your while. And yes, it%26#039;s all free...

What is the standard method for protecting JavaScript, CSS, and other sensitive source files on a web host?
I%26#039;m sure there is a web programming pattern to add this layer of security to my web host, I just can%26#039;t find it. Changing file permissions doesn%26#039;t help because the world needs to be able to read files for the pages to behave correctly. Since they can read the files, they can also just navigate to them and read the source code. Please help!
What is the standard method for protecting JavaScript, CSS, and other sensitive source files on a web host?
is it really worth it?
css has to be read , as css, so it must be css. (you could stop using it,. JavaScript can do much of the same, but sloppier). css can be served from a cgi program , only to the pages on your site, with any extra crazy security you want (but they can be %26#039;view sourced%26#039;)
html has to be read, as html, so it must be html (you could use less html and use more ajax with headers to protect the data from prying eyes)
JavaScript doesn%26#039;t need to be read, it needs to be executed! it need not resemble the original code (look at google%26#039;s scripts!) A simple packer makes JavaScript unreadable to all but the best hackers!
http://dean.edwards.name/packer/ is the easy one time packer, there are other versions for automated packing!
and of course, all server side programs are protected by your server!
What is the standard method for protecting JavaScript, CSS, and other sensitive source files on a web host?
It%26#039;s %26quot;Don%26#039;t put anything sensitive in client side code in the first place%26quot;.
The browser has to be able to parse the code, and if the browser can, then so can users.
http://dorward.me.uk/www/hide/
Reply:Never put anything you don%26#039;t want to be read by visitors into files that will be directly included to a URL response. No %26quot;secrets%26quot; (e.g., account/password combinations) should ever be in such files. You need some sort of controller that has access to your secure layers and mediates the handling of sensitive information without returning any of it in the response. This can be any of the usual types, e.g., servlet, jsp, php, perl, etc.
As for non-secret info that you just prefer not to make publicly available, the best you can hope for is to obfuscate it beyond the means of the lighter-weight programmer types to figure out. You can minify the code, removing all comments and whitespace. You can use non-documentating names for methods and fields. Means you have to manage multiple files that do the same thing, since the obfuscated version is not likely to be very easily directly supportable; then, evolutionary changes have to be made to the regular version, and a new obfuscated version created ...ugh!
Frankly, it ain%26#039;t worth the effort just to hide source code that will be included client-side. Look at the quality of the source code released by Yahoo in their YUI JavaScript libraries. I%26#039;ve done some pretty nifty stuff in JavaScript, but, for everything I%26#039;ve done that would be generally useful, there are alternate implementations as good or better that have been published by one of the Open Source library groups. When I find my code being recycled by others, I%26#039;m flattered. I enjoyed solving the problem - if it saves someone else some effort, cool.
Do you think that your code is worth %26quot;stealing%26quot; in some way that negatively impacts your business? If not, and there are no %26quot;secrets%26quot; in the code, let %26#039;em look and accept the compliment that anyone was interested.
Reply:It%26#039;s not possible to protect any sensetive information that is to be sent to a browser. The only thing you can do is process it server side.

Any hosting that allows PHP, MySQL or ASP.NET, so basically make sure you find yourself a programmer..but the ones I use are:
http://www.1and1.com
http://www.mediatemple.net
If you wanna do it with Yahoo, since Yahoo is more on beginners creating website, you would probably have to choose the more expensive packages...
If you wanna program urself, search up stuff about PHP and MySQL and/or ASP.NET..you gotta be good in Logic...if you love to design and do xhtml/css, most of the time, its super hard to learn...so get you a programmer...
remember...
most designers can%26#039;t programmer (backend wise)
most programmers can%26#039;t design (photoshop/illustrator wise)
Reply:There are a million people trying to compete w/ myspace/facebook.. it%26#039;s not worth it, but you can find free ready made scripts that emulate their functionality if that what you really want to do...
