15,876 PointsWhere can I find freelance projects online to help build my portfolio?
I am looking to build up my portfolio and I would like to work on a few projects and build basic sites for free. I am proficient in HTML and CSS, however I live in a very small town and there is no one I know that needs a website, and there are no listings on craigslist. How can I find work online where I can work from home?

Or you could join one of the many websites that offer a platform for freelance developers to find work, I wouldn't suggest this to start off with though. You could even offer the lovely student of Treehouse if they might need a front-end website creating. I know alot of back-end functionality focused programmers like myself would love a fancy website front end to some of our systems.
