Make it unique. You can also release your scripts on websites like CodeCanyon and gain attention that way. People will buy anything that is simple to use and that way you can get your name out there. If you are starting a business as well, you can visit looking shops and advertise your services if they don't have a website or it is outdated.

Great ideas, thanks for sharing!

There is a lot more to making a web-page than simply looks. One has to consider platform compatibility, performance, SEO capability and other operations depending on the purpose of the site, like sales automation etc.

Best way to advertise yourself is to send out samples to businesses that do not have those functions and how they can profit from it and get an edge against the competition, since most businesses are on a hunt for anything that can make their business stand up amongst the thousands of others. People will hire your services whenever they have reason to believe that they gain an edge with it, when needed you can even use the lack of technical knowledge to pep up the advertisement of your service, although this is not reccomended due to obvious reasons.

What? I'm talking about coding the backend, CSS and design isn't my thing.

It's honestly what you plan to be coding, if you're thinking of web-based stuff. Then yes PHP, but if you're thinking about games, or client-side APP's i would say java or even C.

Research a little into what you plan to do.

(Also Python is a very good language to begin with.)

While a lot, if not most websites run some sort of PHP script - start ups now are using Ruby on the Rails, node.js and Python(Django) to create websites that are quite popular. Python is used on a lot of major websites, like Google and Spotify. You can learn PHP if you just want to create simple scripts, mods for forums, etc. You obviously can make huge websites like Facebook, but take a look at other languages as well and see which one you like.
