How can I get Freelance web design and development projects?

Im from India and looking for long term freelance web based projects like website redesign, flash design, web based applications, ecom website development projects

I’d put together the best web site I possibly could, link it to other sites with really useful resources, then e-mail those sites to let them know you’ve linked to them. Often, they will give you a link back as a courtesy. That way, you can get some notice without needing to warp your content to pull in the search engines. As a part of your site, let people know you are available to do web sites on a freelance basis.

The only web designer I ever considered hiring (I was once a printer; can’t stand having anyone else design anything for me, and graphic design is graphic design, so it was only considered) got my attention that way. Sure, it didn’t lead to work in my case, but those who know me would tell you even getting me to think about it was an achievement.

 What Is Branding?


What Is Branding?

It is an exciting time for branding. As everything becomes global, good branding becomes more crucial. What is Branding? is an accessible guide that makes sense of this complex subject. It explores the process of branding, and shares insights that can be applied to practical challenges. Outlining the components of branding (positioning, storytelling, design, price, and relationships), what it can be applied to, and what it can achieve, What is Branding? will help ensure the success of branding for any product, service, person, or place. Case studies included in the international portfolio of campaigns explain what makes them work, why they matter, and what can be learnt from them. Analysis focuses both on design know-how and on theory, looking at how professionals wrestle with abstract notions of perception, culture, and love while at the same time solving the nuts-and-bolts problems of package design, sign making, and web technology.Matthew Healey is a freelance brand consultant and graphic designer. He has worked on several successful branding and design projects in Eastern Europe and now lives in New York.
