My journey to the web world – customer service rep turned web designer
summary
Self-taught web designer learns Head First HTML & CSS, Photoshop and JavaScript, discovers WordPress and lands first paid work on Upwork about 11 months after starting to learn. Builds color-palette mockups, a first WordPress site with a custom homepage and scroll-down button, and creates logos when clients need them. First client stays on as repeat business; two years into freelancing the workflow and responsive customer-service approach consistently produces happy clients and steady referrals.
