I am considering learning the skills needed to become a freelance web programmer or web designer. I have confidence in back-end development but am learning more about front end. I live in India and you dont need many dollars converted to rupees to make a good living. Since I live in India, I will not be able to meet clients locally. All interaction will have to be through the net. So I am not sure what skills I need. I have:

• Solid understanding of HTML/CSS
  
• Intermediate understanding of C# but am currently learning JS and jQuery
  
• Basic understanding of SQL
  
• Good understanding of 3D modeling
  
• Understanding of image editing but no real digital art skills
  

I can only communicate with clients online and will have no online rep when I eventually start so I will need to build some first before I can hope to find work. I think this means doing work for free initially --- possibly on Github. I can think of no other way to build online rep so would appreciate suggestions. I think my biggest weakness is that as an Indian freelancer, I would only have an online presence, not a local one. So it requires building an online presence first which is currently zero.

I am in no rush to make money and have time to devote to learn the needed skills. I suspect I will also need to learn PHP, Python and maybe Node.js and Ruby on Rails. So please help me understand :

Based on on what I have shown I know, am learning, and plan to learn, what kind of activity will be needed to start building an online rep for a completely online freelancing beginner web programmer or web designer? Is there any difference? Both seem to involve coding...

Is there any difference? Both seem to involve coding...one just seems front end, the other back end but as long as I'm not making art I'd rather go down the path that offers more chance of money. Not necessarily more money....just more CHANCE.

I am considering learning the skills needed to become a freelance web programmer. I just dont know what that involves. I have confidence in back-end development but am learning more about front end. I live in India and you dont need many dollars converted to rupees to make a good living. Since I live in India, I will not be able to meet clients locally. All interaction will have to be through the net. So I am not sure what skills I need. I have:

I am just not sure what I would be required to do in a freelance web design project since I have almost no experience in actual work with a client. Specifically what worries me is that I am reasonably confident I can do the coding aspect of it but what about aspects like logo design? I offered to make a free website for a local business and was able to code a multilanguage responsive website for them from scratch(using only Bootstrap).

The problem came in the design aspect when I found out about the copyright issue of images and movies online. I am certain not all clients want movies on their sites but all will want images and I dont have good creative skills when it comes to digital art. My client wanted only one, a logo banner but it was not a simple image(An umbrella with an eye). They didn't like what I created in Adobe Illustrator. So do online clients provide the design content or expect you to create it as a freelancer? What kind of work does a freelance web programmer DO? Designing website graphics? images, animations... Designing website layout? responsive pages Designing website functionality? coding, DB interaction Website maintenance? server-side support, error checking/prevention Building browser extensions? Coding apps with web support?

I can only communicate with clients online and will have no online rep when I eventually start so I will need to build some first before I can hope to find work.
