Any Advice for Starting a Web Design Business?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday September 2, 2003 @07:15AM from the helping-others-starting-in-on-the-ground-floor dept.

stizoked asks: "Although we both have full time jobs, my wife and I have been doing a little web design/development on the side for some extra cash. Since we've started, we've built up a nice little client list, one big enough for us to consider getting a little more serious about pursuing it as a business. Does anyone have any advice or experience that we can use to dodge young and stupid mistakes? Any advice on some open source project management software or other software that makes running a small business a little easier?"

Another great resource is SCORE, which is the service corp of retired executives. My Grandfather used to work with them before he got too old.
WTF? How can you be too old for SCORE? The 'R' stands for "retired". I think you probably misunderstood what your grandfather told you - he probably told you that he was too old to score, not too old for SCORE.
