critique please

Hi All,

I am a web designer trying to stay afloat since Sept 11, 01 and not getting enough business to survive and was wondering if some of you folks could critique my site and let me know if you see anything wrong with what I offer on my site. 

I focus on small businesses and personal pages. My major focus is on designing sites so they are search engine and browser friendly so I try to keep them simple without a lot of wing-dings. My prices are at rock bottom. I have a low overhead because I write all my code by hand (no expensive programs to purchase and update). I have an English degree, am an artist and have some graphic skills (Photoshop and Fireworks). I also use a Mac.

Some of the sites I design are getting 2400 hits per month but my web design site only gets about 230. I can't afford to pay for listing in major engines but I get top rankings in Google for my major keywords but most of my hits are coming from people looking for graphics and not web designers. I am listed in about 7 web design directories as well as most major engines/directories that don't require a fee. My site ranks at about 5 on Google's toolbar last time I checked it on a friend's PC (I have a Mac so don't have access to their toolbar.)

this is a professional site

I would appreciate any tips you can give me to improve hits and draw customers.

thanks
Lori
