Hello!I'm new here. I've been browsing tons of forums for an idea of what to do. I was laid off from my job about 3 month ago. I've been looking for a job since then, but did not even get a single interview. I worked as a web designer for a publishing company for the last 5 years. Looks like www.elakiri.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be this category is not the most appropriate for this question, but I want to try anyways to get some opinions before I go ahead with my life. I'm wondering if it is possible in the current economy to find work for a freelance web designer and make enough to pay for rent and groceries. I was able to find a small project on craigslist and I developed a website for a company. It was a small project and took me only a week to complete. I got paid $800 for 1 week of work which is not bad. Please people give me some ideas. I have 2 kids and my wife is out of work as well. Thank you in advance.

I Have no idea abt the situation in USA coz i am in sri lanka. most of the members are sri lankans living in sri lanka so it is hard to expect any in4 on this matter from them. and another thing,, now it is past mid night here. so only few members are online. there are some US resident members here. so keep the thread alive and you'll here from them soon. (sorry for my bad english)
Anyway , welcome to the forum.
