By the way you couldn't make 2k off this site. www.2advanced.com might charge 2k, but look at what they're capable of. But we do appreciate all your hard work.

Just stating a fact, don't go off on me now.

Actually, 2advanced would have charged 5k or more easily, and maybe added a little bit of flash here and there, but not much else. I used to hang out with some of the guys who work there, while their main website is nothing short of Godlike, a lot of the websites they do for others aren't really that great, and they charge in the 10s of thousands for some of their larger clients like Ford, etc. But I assure you I could have easily gotten 2k from this, lol. As I said before, I used to make $17 an hour doing Marketing & Publicity, and with how many hours we put into this, and still have to go to finish up the website, 2k would have been a bargain.

BTW, if you don't believe me, ask Halo how much he charges for websites, lol. It's a pretty crazy ammount for some of the basic sites. Halo works for a major web dev company that's pretty much on par with 2advanced. And he has said he will help to flash up this site a bit here soon.

Hmm, interesting. This is the sort of field I'd like to indulge myself into as a career but I'm also afraid there are already plenty of companies people would use regardless of what else is out there. I'm kind of afraid to go to school for this and end up making no money.

Depends. If you decide to do something local, you could easily make money. The way I started out years back, was I went to all the Realty companies and local Radio Stations and did up their websites for $500 to $2000 for one of the Radio sites. I then Charged the Realty sites a monthly fee for updating it. I would put up any new houses they would get on the website, pics, etc, and sometimes they'd have me go take the pics myself. So I made a bit of money from the monthly maintenance fee, as well as the original designs of other sites.

Overall, for a while there, I was living pretty nice off what I made. I recommend starting local though, and growing from there.

Hmm, I appreciate the info. I'm also stuck between that and being a General Contractor. I guess I could try and do both, I dunno. Either/or will make some decent money if I get it going.

But if I do wind up going down the web design patch I'll take your advice. Thanks!
