I might just do that. Once I've sorted my next two jobs out...

Thank you all for your replies! I've started drafting a few simple pages just so I have something to refer new/potential customers to, however it might take twice (if not more times) the normal time to complete since I'm prioritising the work I already have on. I see the purpose of a one-stop...
