You aren't wrong it's been on my list forever to work on my site. FWIW some of the best media buyers I know though literally don't have websites.

I've been doing Facebook ads for 9 years. My team and I are a white label agency so we do the media buying for creative shops, designers, content marketers, etc. So I didn't land any client. I partnered with the folks that did. I got the partnership by putting out a ton of content on Youtube (Over 20 hours worth), through doing a 30 episode deep podcast on running an advertising agency, and being super helpful in a number of Facebook groups, Linkedin groups, etc. for years.

Tl;DR Content Marketing + Networking

It looks good to me.

Putting out relevant content and networking is where it's at, too. Even if your website actually was bad, you'd probably be fine.

I used to get a lot of work for web design without a website. I had a resume with good references and urls leading to good work samples. That's the stuff that counts. There was no shortage of jokes about not having a website though, and everyone thought they were the first person to tell me 'the cobbler's children go barefoot', haha.

I actually like your website

It's very direct and no nonsense

I'll get in touch with you. Let's see if we can do some work together
