I really like your site. Its friendly, succinct, clear, easily navigable and
you come across as a likable guy with a great deal of enthusiasm, talent and
more experience than you would expect.

The only thing I'd question, because I'm trying to decide on it for my own
sites, is that you may come across as too much of a jack of all trades, that
you may appear to spread yourself too thin. I don't know if thats how a
client would see it especially as your work is of a relatively high
standard.

A friend of mine does post production and in order to avoid clients
wondering if he could cope, he went by a company name, and only refered to
himself when a front man was needed for interviews, articles etc. The rest
of the time he refered to himself as we/they/us. He gave the impression
there was more than one of them. Clients were usually non the wiser and
since he got the work done and did it very well, when they did find out they
were all the more impressed. But I suspect if he'd let them know initially
that there was only him and he was going to tackle work that most other
studios would have half a dozen specialists working on, I doubt he'd of got
the work. But I could be talking bollocks.
