Richard, I actually read that article in Design Week when it was published. That's what finally encouraged me to try and freelance. Before, I was toying with the idea but your article made it sound that with alot of effort it can be very rewarding.
With regards to the online portfolios, do you provide links to prospective clients or do people 'seek' you out? Also, would you these as an aid to your website or instead of your website?
Just thought I would ask you guys for some advice.
I have a permanent graphic design job in-house but would like to eventually go freelance. I feel that the best way to do that is to stay employed but start picking up freelance work here and there until eventually I have enough to go solo.
What would be the best way of going about this – shall I register as self employed to start off with? And will I be able to then become a limited company when the time is right?
