Hello, I have just made this account as I was just recently certified for Html/Css through freecodecamp and I was just wondering how people usually go about finding jobs and/or projects to work on, I've done small local projects including building a website for my dad's auto shop and a couple of smaller graphic updates to a family friends restaurant webpage. I did both of those for free but I am just wondering how much a website should be priced at and or just how to get actual accepted offers, I've emailed and otherwise contacted numerous different local places without any form of webpages but it was either a no reply or a rejection. Any advice?
