you need to be specific.. business can encompass a whole range of things. Is there anything specific you want to know, like what programs to use, or how to get clients, or are you looking for a general outline? It's going to be much harder to get a general outline as everyones approach is different, and theres no sure way of making a guideline that will work.

a) 20 viewers is not a lot
b) not everybody has time to answer
c) not everybody knows the answer, after all, most people come here for photoshop
d) everybody replies to posts out of their free will and many have already replied in great detail to your previous posts, of which all them were Web related. Be thankful for that and you might consider to show some appreciation by helping others in return.
e) if you tried to be unfriendly..., well you have succeeded Juggalo


But anyway, these are a few sites where you most likely find some answers;

What Joe D said! :}
Plus, with that attitude, along with your lack of initiative to do any research on your own (ever hear of a search engine? The keywords "Web Design as a Career" turns up 64 concise web hits on www.dogpile.com, and 10,800,000 general hits on Google...) almost guarantees that you will be stunningly successful in life... :bustagut:
 
Baggs,

From one Juggalo to another, and also from one Web Designer to another, Starting a web business is kind of rough at first. But what i did to get my business booming (Which its not really) Was i Went up to all the local Grocery stores and put my Ad up on the Cork boards. I had also put flyers out at local music stores (Cause of bands and stuff) And at my work. I mean i was tryin to get as much eye time as i could. I got alot of E-mails, but not alot of them were serious enough to go through with getting the site built and hosted. So if your getting started, dont expect all your accounts to know exactly what they want. And also, try and find out as much about their business as you can, it will help you with getting to know the customer, and what they want. And it will show the customer that your serious about what you do, and they will be more likely to mention your name to other businesses.

If you want any kind of help or anything with getting your business goin, hook me up with an e-mail.
