Hi guys! my name is Bryan. I'm a newbie web designer. I am now starting to learn wordpress as my CMS app. Can you give me some tips (from the very basics) on how to start this business? Thanks!

Well, what exactly is the business you're trying to start?
Think that you're best building a business model first and then adjusting the site to that and not the other way around. Focus on creating a brand(good logotype, understandable offers etc.) for yourself and advertise your products/services frequently throughout the site.
Remember that customers not always come as customers and something that I've found useful is to be providing litterature/guides/whatnot closely tied to your product/service and might end the articles with "offcourse, we can provide this to you".

Thanks for your replies guys! Now I already have a good idea on how to start. I have to deploy first my own creative website, put in my portfolios and other works. Do you guys have a long experience in web designing? Can you tell me how much is the basic payment rate of a newbie??

@wwag: I've seen your portfolios on http://www.webworksandgraphics.com and I just love them specially the Guitar website coz' my recent project is all about guitar sales also. I would like you to check 1 one of my projects that I've made in this URL:
http://www.redsunledtech.com/
I made this website with pure hardcore coding of XHTML, CSS, ans PHP only without applying any CMS apps.
As a newbie web designer I won't expect some thumbs up . Rather, pls give some commentssssss.... sugestions.... etc.... anyone?ThankS

A great tip would to have a look at the software "Artisteer" , if you want to start with wordpress

Actually I'm starting to learn wordpress, and I already have a foundation in PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS. But I have to master on CSS2 first then study more on wordpress then continue learning Flash then perhaphs to master CSS3. I'll do it step by step. Might take me a long time. lol
And you were right, you have to get a good grip first in the basics. As a web designer, I don't think that it's a good idea to learn Artisteer coz' It will just make you lazy. We are called web designers to design custom websites right?
