Web design is a rescission friendly business. When things get bad for other businesses, they want to do more work to generate business so many look at the Internet to market their business more.

For the last 6 months my business continues to grow, while old clients call asking how they can do more online to gain more business because things are slow.

Also, look to government organizations to build web sites for. Schools, towns and utilities are still spending and are usually great clients to have in your portfolio.

Do great things, add value, be easy/quick to contact and you will always be able to get business.
