Hi Rkosmic,

I visited your site to look at the screenshots etc. and noticed a number of typos and spelling mistakes dotted around the place.

Most webdesigners offer some kind of basic copy-proofing service to their clients, so that the clients feel confident that not only are they getting good design, but that their site will be thoroughly professional. I take this view: those that don't notice or mind typos, won't penalise you for getting everything right; those that do mind will think less of you for not having paid attention to detail.

You will inspire more confidence in potential clients if you have got all of the spelling and grammar right on your own site. However, I appreciate that english is not necessarily the forte of a designer, so I would suggest that you enlist the services of someone who can make sure that your own site is up to scratch, and your clients' sites aswell.

On a different note - I really like the way you have presented your portfolio with the case studies and testimonials. Most designers just list the sites and don't explain what tangible result they achieved for their client. So, the one where you have shown that simply changing the design increased sales by 10% is perfect for building credibility AND demonstrating that your fees are worth it. Good for you!!
