Freelancers need to ADAPT or look for a job
Freelancing is the best path towards making it in the industry. There's less corporate jobs for designers nowadays, so you just have to create a job for yourself.
But how to best start? You need to be aware, that the roles of designers and frontend developers are merging again. Right now with no-code tools like Wix Studio you can design AND build a working website.
That instantly increases the amount of clients you can get, because most clients don't just want a design. They want a working website. And not being able to "make it work" will have them reconsider you.
So learn how to make it work, on an example redesign. I approached Wix Studio as a complete beginner on the platform, and was able to learn it in a matter of minutes. Then built a full, designed website header without using any traditional vector design tools.
Basically it's from idea to development right away. This approach is what I think freelancers should totally embrace and learn.
