I'm trying to get into web development. I've done some entry-level courses through and a handful of online sites (stuff like HTML/CSS and JavaScript), and I'm hoping to get some advice for moving on forward to some freelance work. Any thoughts, ideas, or advice?

1,015 PointsI can't think of anyone off the top of my head, but I'm keeping a lookout. I'm thinking that once I get a little bit of practice (maybe from building something for myself), I'll try to see what I can find on GitHub. Another option I might have is finding a local start-up business that could use a website.

28,149 PointsYes, exactly, just don't try to oversell the number of features they need, or your own ability. Start and grow slow, and you should be able to build a good network of referrals.
Speaking of which, referrals would be a great thing to build too.
Good luck!
