Hi

I love the DR and have been going there for quite a few years and want an excuse to go there more often and I thought if I could do business there that would be a good reason to go. Does anyone know if there is a market for a web/print designer in the DR? How do I go about finding clients down there?

Thanks

DR is a large island, and the businesses success or no success depends on location, networking and also quality of course.
Where in DR would you plan on being?

I can speak only for Puerto Plata area, as my company is based there, that if you are not here permanent no one would more or less want to work with you. You build up your net of clients by word of mouth.
You can not charge what is common in Us or Europe.

There are alots of graphical designers around, too many in comparence to the need.
In this area, where I live, I know of no one else that runs a webdesign business as a company and with success in the meaning of full time, loads of work, good economy etc.

So, if you?re not a permanent resident here, it is too much hassle for you to go through to get a client or two.
