CS5
CS5 also is meant to be unstable and slow, dont update just yet, many on forums are preferring CS3 for speed and stability...

To do:
-Find a list or automated script of common type checking like hyphens, double spaces etc etc and things to watch out for in a print doc.
-Read up once and for all about colour profiles and settings and PDF, create presets for the correct settings.
-Read up on print in general and typesetting.

Freelance / Design Business Sites - Good Examples

Rounding up examples of websites that do a good job of promoting creative or production services.

Here is an example of multi-service offering company, but with each service clearly explained in a way that sells it to the prospective client and probably cross sells services they hadn't thought of too. Also there is some good articles on the blog.

I like the descriptions of the services, breaking up visual design services and development service, and explaining Wordpress benefits. Also very clean visually and good blog.

Good example of a portfolio site whilst employed. Friendly tone, lists and explains skills, mentions interested in freelance.
