George,
Sorry to tell you this, but your website is not up to par. If you've been doing this for 15 years, then you haven't been studying enough or improving your technique enough. If you're approaching clients, I would not even mention that you've been doing it 15 years because they'll think the same thing I am thinking.
I glanced at your site and here are some things I thought (all to help you):
- There is not <html> beginning tag.
- Your HTML skills or your site builder is outdated, using inline body tags like bgcolor.
- Table structure = bad
- Logo is not clean
- Learn how to use paragraphs and columns to make your body text easier to read...
In general, you need to read up on latest web trends, HTML5, and need to read more articles about design.

I suggest that you do what I did when I first started out: look at websites of other freelancers or small design studios in your area and make sure that your website is comparable. And then when you want to get better, you start looking at some of the most successful guys out there.
Here are some freelancers I found in Toronto.

I think you misunderstood what he said, Ron. I think what he meant was that he didn't understand what you said. George, please tell me I'm wrong.
Ron: I get why you posted that list, but two of those developers (#2 and #3) put designer credit hyperlinks in their sites and #4 puts their logo in at least a couple of them. #1 is a decent designer for a W*rdPr*sser, though.If I've helped you out in any way, please pay it forward. My wife and I are walking for Autism Speaks. Please donate, and thanks.
If someone helped you out, be sure to "Like" their post and/or help them in kind. The "Like" link is on the bottom right of each post, beside the "Share" link.

Oh, that's possible. Originally Posted by TheGAME1264

So George, if you mean that you didn't understand my comments, my meaning was that your style, both aesthetic and technical, are a bit outdated. I say this because I started learning Html around the same time that you did - around 13 years ago, and I'm totally familiar with how websites were made back then. It's totally different now though, so I suggested that you look at your competitors sites to gauge your skills. If people in Toronto are looking for a web designer, they'll not only see your website, but also several other freelancers as well.

You have something from Alexa on your website? LOL. This isn't the 90s. Oh wait, the entire site makes me think it is.
Please customize your WHMCS more. And make sure your website loads reliably because I had to hit refresh a bunch of times to get it to load initially and that's funny because my internet is working fine.
