My Finnish girlfriend is in marketing and has started her own company of web designing and marketing,has anyone got any ideas that doesn't cost too much to finally get the business off the ground,she is based in Turku and has looked at advertising,but this is very expensive.
Does anyone know who needs a good,professional and competitively priced service??
thanks in advance.
Web design service
Re: Web design service
If she is in marketing and cannot market her own services I think she is going to find it tough.
One thing she could do is to pick a few web sites and re-design them. Then approach the companies behind those web sites and try to sell her designs to them. Also approach other companies and show the "before and after" versions to show what she would do for those sample web sites. I think most people will want to see a portfolio of some sort and when you are just starting out this is one way of approaching that.
Also, there are lots of web designers out there but it is hard to find any that can come up with good code behind the site. The market is very different for a really functional system or a glossy front end. Where does she fit into that spectrum?
