I am considering offering a website design service to earn a bit of pocket money whilst I am at university next year (currently on a gap year and working at a supermarket and don't intend on staying there). Website design is currently a hobby, so I'd like some advice on how to become more proffessional.
I am wondering what kind of legal and finacial issues I have to consider, for example for contracts with clients - do I need proffessional legal advice to check that contracts are legal - and would I need that redone for each paying client? I assume I have to keep very good books for tax purposes, but do I also have to set up a buisness bank account or can I as a sole trader use a current account - though I would open a seperate one to keep things simpler.
I live in the UK, and would appreciate any advice from those more experianced in this field.
