It sounds like you already have someone in mind who fits the "big 3" criteria, (shitty web, needs new, has money) (need an acronym for that!=) So! How do you approach this person/company? You're still new, so better to have a real person to approach, someone you know. First comes the "feeling them out" stage, do they even know their website sucks, or do they realize that maybe they should have a new one? They do? Well, did you know that I (that would be you speaking) design websites for a living? I could probably set you up for a reasonable cost, want me to work out a quote for you? If you get a nibble on the hook here, now you're ready to go. You do not want to design their website and then show it to them, this is a good way to lose your shirt (and make twItch^unhappy! =) You'll want to prepare a 2-3 page document describing a website, and what it would include (and not include, even more important!) If it's a completely new web, you might want to set them up with webhosting too, but make sure the costs for that are included in the down-payment you ask for. You might actually be the guy creating the specification for this new web, and once you have that list of stuff, then we can plug in the pricing formula and see what can be done with it. If this is the case (and even if it ain't!) take this opportunity to get every piece of paper they've got describing the company, ads, cards, logos, brochures, you want everything they've ever written about themselves, this will help you figure out how big the website is going to be, it'll be like pulling teeth to get them to write you more text, so what you get now might be all the site ever contains. Better answer? Hope so! Let me know more details, got anyone on the hook, any prospective clients?
