I am planning to add web design services to the list of services that I offer. I know I have the ability to create a simple site. I want to learn more complex design too and am not really sure where to start. Currently I know basic HTML and Flash (via SwishMax). I have Arachnophilia as my HTML editor. For graphics I have Gimp and Inkscape. Most of the items I have are open source programs as I don't have the money to invest in other programs at this time. I used Homestead for my website and created my own logo. I know I need to learn CSS. Also, it seems that Joomla is very popular these days. I found w3schools.com, and they seem to have great tutorials. I just need some direction. I have considered offering my services for free or a VERY reduced cost to 2-3 new VA's in order to learn and add to my portfolio. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Also my Mom is trying to talk me in to doing logo design. Any insight on this thought would be helpful to. Thanks so much for your input.
