From the obvious points to the light-bulb-over-the-head moments, there is a lot of advice floating around out there for aspiring web designers.  Here are 5 pieces of advice you’ll get from anyone with experience:

Lots of to-the-point advice here! I especially liked the final point, about walking that extra mile:

"Go the extra mile! Experiment with new techniques and try things that would normally fall outside your comfort zone. Be available to your clients - this doesn’t mean you have to answer when they call you at 3am (unless your up anyway of course) but being approachable will make the relationship more successful. While you’re at it back up their site for them, clients will love you if you’re able to give them back lost material if/when something goes wrong. In short, do everything in your power to continue to grow as a designer and foster great relationships with clients - their recommendations are often the most direct route to your next project!"
