Hey, im currently in college taking Web and Graphic desgin... Im starting to think this course is a joke, in the first week at school i have completed 2 months of the 10 month course. Included in what i have completed has been how to turn on my computer, how to save documents, learing to type at 25 words a minute (before the course i type at 4 times this), how to create new documents in microsoft word etc. Basically what im saying is i am shocked i am going to be paying 12,000$ for this course. Im now nearly halfway done and the first thing that has actually touched on web and graphic design is the use of Dreamweaver. Simply teaching me the basics, things i would have learned on my own in under an hour. Im realizin ill be needin to learn nearly everything i need on my own and am very dissipointed.
I have my first customer whenever i feel comfortable enough to design the site (a family friend) but basically i feel very overwhelemd and lost. Anyways after ya see where im comin from, i'd like to know a couple things.
1. Ive heard that many designers also offer web hosting. How is it i would go about doing this?
2. Where can i find a good contract to give my future customers?
3. Where is more info on the steps i should be going through as to designing a site for customers. IE. Getting info from them, do i continue to update their site for them? Do designers often charge per hour (If so what kind of price range?) Or do you charge per item/page etc.? Do i find webhosting for them? In what form do you deliver the sites to the customer in?
Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton!
