I've been doing freelance Web Design for a short while now (I've only had two clients), and I had a concern about the future of my career.
Although I don't mind doing this type of work, my career goal is to do more Software Engineering work as opposed to designing websites for people.
The main reason I am doing web design is because of the demand for it (everybody wants a website these days), but how important is it for the rest of my career to make an effort to start doing more software engeneering work now?

how important is it for the rest of my career to make an effort to
start doing more software engeneering work now?
As they say, there's no time like the present.
If you really want to be a Software Engineer, then be one. If you want to be a freelancer doing whatever a client or two happens to want done at the moment, then do that instead (that approach can be lucrative too). Either way make a choice and work on it mindfully.
If you are serious about a career, whatever your choice in career is, then make every step count. Before taking on a freelance gig ask yourself "Is this going to take me further in my career?" If it will, then take the gig. If not, then pass on it and find a gig that will move you toward your real goal.
If you want to be a Software Engineer, then make an effort.
