Hi Mike,
I agree with you that there is a high demand for web designer now especially those that can come up with good wordpress theme. I am currently working on changing my blog theme to give it a professional look. As such, I have been searching online for the past few days for an affordable designer but I have not found any that I can trust.

I did check out unique blog design but their price seems to be on the high side for someone like me that is just starting out. Anyway, the search continues.

Well said, I wish I knew how to design websites. It would save me a lot of time and money if I could just whip up and customize themes for myself, besides having the ability to make custom sites for clients. This post makes me want to go back to school and take a few web design courses.

As a web designer with an obvious bias, the key advantages about doing freelance design work is that you get to build websites, make decent money as your core income, and still launch blogs and other projects on the side (usually without having to hire outside help). Many have found success this way like 37 Signals and Eden Creative (who run Freelance Switch and other sites for creatives).

I think even Chow says that low percentage way to make money. If you know your way around a site, I would personally build a B2C or B2B online service.
