You might want to check some of the punctuation on your site.

Looks like you've updated the site - at a quick glance good job, the punctuation is much better
Nice to see some capital letters and full stops!

Although having said that, you don't seem to be such a huge fan of capitalising / punctuating in your forum posts. I know it's just a forum post, but as a copywriter I would have thought you might want to maintain a high quality on everything a potential client might read.

i am building a portfolio in sales copy i am looking for some projects that will enhance your business and my portfolio.
If I were a potential client this wouldn't fill me with confidence. Maybe I'm just being a pedant...

That's an interesting point.

How proffesional should we be?

Is it fair to say that anytime you post with your business name you should be as proffesional as possible so as to have the highest quality of web presence? Or is that nit-picking?

I guess it depends on context, but certainly I think if you're using a forum to attract new clients, as Stephen is doing, then you'd want to be pretty perfectionist.

Not at all; you are quite right to bring this up.

Assuming most clients won't know too much about what makes good copy; one of the few things they will know about, and be able to critique, is spelling and grammar.

Default Do not Deal With Steven Doyle

I do not recommend Steven Doyle, and I am still waiting for my £100 Refund... from 3 weeks ago. A totally unreliable copywritter.

Kind Regards

Have followed this thread over the past few weeks - would you be willing to share with the group as to why you seek a refund?
