Question: Dear sir/madam,
I am a student at secondary school, interested in job opurtunities incorporating the internet as it becoming a necessary device and service for any modern business.
I am recently, and desperately looking for infomation involving web site design and the routes into it. Unfortunately I have had no luck.
I was hoping that you might be able to send me information on ways into the business of website design (freelance) and of the various paths into it, whether they be qualifications needed or simply possible courses run in Britain.
At present I am a 16 year old student so I do not require, as yet, information on where courses are run.

Thank you for your time and efforts,
Harry Burton.
Answer: Hello Harry,
As you have explored that there is a good scope of web designing & development.
If you have an aesthetic and creative bent of mind, you may go in for courses in multimedia and graphic designing. OR else you can get into the programming arena for web site development and pursue courses on internet programming languages like CGI/Perl, Java and so on. Another choice for working on web site development could be getting into learning some specific databases like Oracle, Informix etc.
Please decide the course based on your interest, and try and practice as much as possible on your own by doing small projects. This should build an expertise in you which will be very much needed for working as a free lancer.
Wish you all the best!

Your counsel.
