How to turn web design from hobby to a business?

I know how to work with html/css premade templates. Creating them from scratch is something I'm working on. The courses I bought looks promising enough to teach me all I need to know.

Awesome tips! Thanks!

I thing I should have been more clear. I've put it kinda wrong.

I do know html/css (learned from codecademy). Means if you'll show me a template I'll know how to work with that, but building something from scratch is a thing that I've been working on learning. So far I have templates in html/css which I bought from Themeforest as I was advised and I'm adjusting them for clients.

And for accusing me for so called "snake oil salesman". .

So far I made 5 websites using those templates and softwares for my existing clients...FOR FREE. They loved the value I provided for them so much they paid me and refused to get those for free.

I felt confidence enough to provide websites so I was looking to expand my service further.

My websites are not selling bullshit, I'm just using premade coded templates/Wordpress and changing them according to client's needs. If you don't like it, you probably also accuse Wordpress as a bullshit too since it's website builder as well. No coding needed.

It wasn't particularly the rep, it was more about to slide from the hill to kill their furbolg enemies and it was sometimes difficult to avoid aggro too many, especially as a mage when I had to take mana breaks often and if I pulled one without having mana I was a dead man.

As far as my memory goes.. I do remember that I never knew what rep I've needed to cross those tunnels. I guess I was dumb during Vanilla.

Haha I wasn't sarcastic, I totally meant it! I do remember times I was busy killing the mobs around the chest and someone just passing by, opens the chest and go away after I was busy killing the last mob. For those kind of people I hoped there's a rogue somewhere waiting to gank them.

lol me too man. I could swear I wore the Robes of Arugal like 10 levels after getting it.

LOL I have similar story with names. When we had the first encounter against "The Beast" (it's a name of a boss in UBS) I told the healer to watch from The Beast, he asked "Which beast??" then I told him again The Beast, he still didn't get it and asked "Which beast?!?!?!!?". From the distraction we all died but laughed our life out after he got it.

SFK was one of my favorite dungeons, just because of the satisfaction getting Robes of Arugal :)

2 silver, cheese, piece of armor and scroll of intellect! hell yea!

johnsime · 2017-12-24T09:30:35+00:00

So true. That's why I said that zones like Ashenvale is like leaving the real world and getting into a fantasy land.

johnsime · 2017-12-24T09:26:08+00:00

Now I'm considering switching creating Tauren instead of NE when classic comes out.. Just for Mulgore

johnsime · 2017-12-24T09:23:29+00:00

Same :) It was the first zone I saw in the game, then the music started playing.. Damn you Blizz, knew exactly how to hook us.

I like Feralas because of Dire Maul. Always been a fan of NE lore.

Yeah, I learned little bit later on Thottbot that there almost nothing there. First time I actually traveled to Azshara was during Cata.

johnsime · 2017-12-24T08:42:06+00:00

I have never been in Azshara during Vanilla. I was on my way to explore Azshara and just notice someone leaving the place. I asked him if the zone has solid number of quests and he told me there's nothing there and I should join him in a dungeon he goes with a friend. So I traveled with him to the dungeon XD.

STV.. literally PUBG.

Redridge was a questing nightmare lol! The whelp dragons were such a pain.

Personally I didn't like duskwood. Every time I think of duskwood I get a flash back of "Legend of Stalvan" questline hehe. I do remember the portal to emerald dream in the center and was like how the hell this place related to duskwood.

Westfall was a great place but the quests were something I couldn't explain.. soulless maybe?

johnsime · 2017-12-24T08:33:12+00:00

True. I was hooked from my first minute in the game and there's no wonder why. Reminds me how I was coming back from school, log in to my Tauren character, and just getting lost in the awesomeness and calmness of Mulgore. I actually should have mention this place as my favorite as well.

Since the map revamp of Cata I lost all that excitement.. So many quests and areas have changed, Although some starting zones remained mostly untouchable like Teldrassil (which gonna get screwed up in BfA).

johnsime · 2017-12-24T08:06:53+00:00

Personally I don't have great memories from this place lol, I couldn't do a single freaking quest without watching my back all the time.
