There are tons out there. I wouldn’t worry too much about the website builder tools, you need to get clients over the millions of other small design shops.

Figure out your business plan to do that but I don’t think it’s impossible as there’s plenty around. Maybe try to launch once you have a small amount of completed jobs for a portfolio site as well.

Definitely, unfortunately I don't have many contacts with small businesses, but have at least 1-2 that I can offer a new design, even for free to get something in our portfolio.

Any suggestions how can I learn to do this? (books, courses, anything)
