Doing web development not just practice you technical skills but more so your social and adaptive skills as well. Clients come from all types of industries, from retail to production, chemical manufacturing to performance management consulting businesses.
What I mean by practicing your social skills is that whenever you speak or discuss with your clients, you would have to digest as much as you can in spite of the possibility that you don’t have a clue of what he is talking about his industry as professionals like us information technology people, seldom have a complete knowledge of every industry, old and new, where our clients come from.
While some clients would only need a static, “speaking for itself” website, many require more than that. Some may need members or readers registration. Some may even need an online performance appraisal system they could use internally. Projects come would come in all forms, even in unexpected ones so an open mind and a willing heart can be a good asset in being a web developer.
