Web design?
I’ve been in web design for about a year now. Last month I started my own company: Incline Site Design: http://www.InclineSiteDesign.com .
But after about a month, business has not been very good. I have the best prices around, and my design is good. but people arent interested, I advertised on craig’s list, submitted to almost all of the search engines. But Still not a lot of business.
What can I do?
If your interested in my services please Email me at: Info@InclineSiteDesign.com

Tenar,
What
"unclosed quotation marks and unclosed tags." are you talking about, I would like to know so I can fix it.
When you say depricated tags you mean the <center> tag right, I just fixed that.
Thank you for your input, I’m always trying to increase my knowledge.
Thank you Tenar, If you would like you can visit my site in a few hours and it should all be fixed.
Thanks again.

Why would I hire you when you have only 1 page indexed in google (even if I could find you though google, which is unlikely with only 1 page indexed.)
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=inurl%3Awww.inclinesitedesign.com&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
and only 1 page in yahoo

Your page has unclosed quotation marks and unclosed tags. You are also using depricated tags through out the content.
The navigation is all images and not real links.
You link the words "click here" making the page less scanable.
The page has 3 or 4 different fonts. You should have 2 at most.
Also it’s not just a low price that gets you business, people expect to get what they pay for.

missing closing quotation mark on name attribute the Meta content tag:
<META name=" content="Proffesional yet cheap …
There is a div tag with no closing ">"
<div align="center"
<span class="style7"> Nobodoy Beats our Prices.<br> Here’s Proof. </span>…
There are span tags left open with no </span>
<span class="style7"> Least Expensive Package
<span class="style8">$35
This is not nested properly, and <i> and <b> are depericated

it’s better to use CSS for this but if you want to use tags it should be
<strong><em>Incline Site Design</em></strong>
Your biggest problem is that Google can not search you. Since you only have 1 page indexed it suggests that the spiders are having trouble.
prehaps change the nav bar into something that uses <a href=""> or use list or something so your pages can be indexed.
Here’s a good site with lots of CSS nav bars

or make sure that the redirect is properly set up.
Try a search engine simulator to make sure your links are working

Find some SEO tools to make sure you have keywords in the right places.

i do web design also and the best way to get your name out there is by word of mouth. So be a people person i have got many jobs just by sitting at starbucks listening to people and going up to them and starting converstations. Also it is all about marketing, Try PPC or Getting your ranking up on true search. Also look on the web for web pages that suck and email them about helping them out. Or go to local store around your biz and talk to them about needing a web page.
Long story short be proactive
Start from improving your site. People coming to your site should be impressed by it. Price you charge is of secondary importance. The more important is the value you offer. See if you can make something unique that nobody else has. You might also think about an innovative business model. The key to business success is innovation. Also, currently your website just redirects to another website http://InclineSiteDesign.awardspace.com, this doesn’t look very professional. I suggest you to fix this.
