the next thing you know your sitting in front of their first customer as possible for freelance web design at a local coffee shop. How will you "sell" yourself? How can you prove that you know what you are doing (in spite of its small portfolio)? Are you really worth $ xx.xx or that person can pay for their grandson to do the same thing? Most often, freelance designers seem to jump into things before their full qualified from the technological and business standpoint. They are insecure or both, or know one, and not another.
...Yes, the independent design and development are the product, whether you like it or not. People will judge just like they would in any business field. If you are wearing a dirty or worn clothing will create first and lasting impression on you. People will lack confidence in you because of it and it is something you need to accept from the outset. On the other side of the equation deals with the technology needed to perform tasks such as creating database-driven web site, or creating a shopping cart.

...If you currently do not have a strong portfolio to prove you are worthy to perform the task, you need to talk with them and prove otherwise how can you prove that you can complete the task. This idea does not just go for development, it is true for design too. If your portfolio is simply not up to snuff, you'll need to start working for free or relatively inexpensive projects to help build your portfolio.
...So you think you're worth $ 50 an hour? Prove it. Do you still design using primarily using Photoshop or do you hand code your web pages in XHTML and CSS? Are you still looking at 1998 as models or standards-complaint? Are you still using JavaScript to validate form input? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we certainly consider how much you are worth to a potential client.

......Well ... Do you understand the basics of the knowledge of both business and technology by becoming a freelance developer? I have found from previous experiences with his instinctive will to solve problems or ideas with the client is the best way to go, especially when you do not have a guide like this will help you through. I believe that if you know your customer, you will be able to produce more quickly than if you were sitting around guessing at what exactly the client wants. Good luck in your future endeavors!
