I coded and Designed my portfolio, but it is not up yet, I am getting it up as fast as i can. I can design pretty well considering I have had lots of experience in the graphic design area. As for coding, I can get by and I am learning at a fast rate to the point where I can code most templates that clients hand to me. I am currently teaching myself some PHP because I know I will need to know it for the future if I Plan to start charging more and actually making a hobbie out of web coding and designing.
