I am starting up a small business designing websites for small businesses. I'm targeting small lawyers firms, accountancy firms, pubs, clubs, and any small business which requires a basic static website. 1/ I am employing someone who is quite skilled at website design and is not too expensive to employ.He can concentrate on designing and making whilst I concentrate on getting the sales. 2/ I would like to ask advice on what people think the future of website design is? I sometimes worry that there perhaps are too many designers in an overcrowded marketplace? 3/ Is there enough work to go around? Or is it truly overcrowded? 4/ What would be deemed a good price for a basic starter website package for a small business? I am offering a basic website price at a special price, so I can get work via recomendations.

Golden Gun, you're making it quite obvious that you don't know the first think about the business. Have you got any examples of work? You turn down offers when you get them. Does it matter whether there's too many or too little? The good ones will do well and the bad one's will fail. It will just happen quicker if there are too many. When you contact someone and offer your - sorry, your designer's - services and they ask for examples of your work do you hurl abuse at them? Business is not for dreamers. If you are serious put some examples online and decide on prices or quote per job. My guess is you just want to talk about it and not do it. Peter Saxton from London

Out of curiosity, can I ask which country you live in?

So far its a failure, and I didn't get one single person interested. So I guess it looks doomed anyway.
