Website Designer Here

[CooperArt]

I'm a new website designer who wants to start their own business.

My father is a small business owner, so I have a lot of information saved from that.

I want to market myself towards artists and other small business owners.

Any suggestions for a newbie?

Hello!

Definitely have a website up with your portfolio. Have very strong branding, showcase your resume, an about me page etc.
Then network with local designers/developers.

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with Woz. The first thing a website designer needs is a website.
