Its like they just dont realise what really goes into such what they think is a small project, like security standards with ecommerce was one I saw, it takes a web development team and a team of designers to make it all work, when you think of purely just the coding then you have to work out if your going to encrypt that information of the users login (espcially if your holding debit/credit card details), that takes a dedicated security specialist just to do that alone.

Its pretty easy to use and free to post new projects.

Jacob, I shall take a look at your article

I agree Sudheer that jobs under your expected price shouldn’t be looked at. I only go for the jobs that will make me profit otherwise it’s just a waste of time.

I don’t even bother to check the bid requests for less than my expected price.

A specialty is very important in my eyes. Specialization can help you build a reputation as an “expert” in a particular field. This is especially useful if website design is a sideline to your primary career. So in web design your specialty might be graphic design, or php programmer, or even a flash specialist….etc.

Having that specialty within a particular field enables you to build upon your previous work as you “climb” from lower-paying markets to better and more prestigious design jobs. So long as you work within that specialty, your jobs will always be relevant, and people in the field may become familiar with your reputation even before you start to work for them. You’re also more likely to receive repeat assignments from jobs that view you as an “expert” in that area.

It’s important, however, to choose a specialty that allows such upward mobility. If you choose to specialize, one question you should ask is “What is the market for my field?”

Also, for some more on this topic have a read on my article here.
