How can you find clients offline when most businesses today that are looking for a web designer can easily be found on the web. It's true that F2F contract do really count and it matters a lot but with today's phasing and digital age, it's easier to find clients that are on this specific niche online. When you go offline and try to look for them personally, you'll walk and go through each establishment to ask them if they need a web designer? I don't think that's a good strategy and you'll be exerting a lot of effort from it and that's why it's better to use the resources that you've got and be online and look for them at many job marketplaces which both of you can meet online and have conferences and sign contracts online.
