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.
