Any Ideas On How To Start A Web Design Business  

I guess the first step would be to make your-self one hell of a great website then start with your local area and advertise with flyers and then maybe then advertise on the net as well, I have a freind who does websites and he gets a lot of business...

you can start by design your own website and put out there to the internet so people can see. Any on line business need traffic so you have to find traffic there, either by advertising or by traffic exchange. You can contact your local business owner and offer your services to them.
Good Luck!

First off, create a portfolio of your designs. then get contacts.

Before you start, create a contract for yourself and make sure your clients understand and agree to it. Be clear on what is considered to be a finished website. If not, they may keep coming to you with something they want changed, and then it will never get done.
