1. web design can be a very profitable entrepreneurship just make sure the websites have functionality, such as commenting, twitter feeds and so on, usually clients will like to see one great site which has given results
2. Hello Jenny I know someone in Norfolk who has started writing websites from home. She's getting about one site a month at the moment so it's hardly a living wage. Your sites are pleasing to look at but there are some things that would help them to work better for your clients, such as different keywords and descriptions on each page. The important thing for a client is how well the site works for them in terms of being found by prospective customers and how easily they lead those customers to contacting them or making a purchase. Business Link run free courses on getting more from your website. It's quite a useful course. I attended one a few years ago even although I'd been writing websites for a number of years. It still brought out things that I hadn't thought of. Learn what you can about optimising sites so that you can write something that works even better for your customers. It will also help with your own business. The suggestion about putting up your own site promoting your website writing business is a good one. Once you have your own site you can put links to it from the sites that you write. This all helps your search engine positioning. One other tiny point - change 'reliefs' to 'relieves' on the Reiki site that you've created. Good luck! Rosemary
