They can’t really look at your portfolio and say: “This person makes profitable web sites.” Instead, they consider other factors when evaluating you for the job. For example: recommendations from other people, the quality of your brochure, the way you dress or simply your handshake. In the kit, Brendon shows how to make the client very confident that you are the best choice they can make. Your average client can’t determine the difference between a good and a bad web site.

Besides the well organized chapters, light and humorous writing style, practical tips, and real-world examples, the CD that comes with the kit contains oodles of very useful templates and forms that any web design startup can use immediately. I'm only about 25% of the way through reading the kit, but I've noticed another benefit is that it's made me feel really motivated to get my web business going. As I read the chapters, I consistently think, "I can really do this!". One of Brendon Sinclair's posts at Sitepoint talked about a great way to make prospects feel more at ease: offer an unconditional 100% money-back guarantee. Ironically, it was the unconditional 100% money-back guarantee on the Web Design Business Kit that made my purchase feel less risky. But after just looking at the table of contents, and skimming through it, I knew I would not be asked for a refund. And despite my comments here, I have no affiliation whatsoever with Brendon or Sitepoint, other than as a longtime reader of the site. Yes, it is *absolutely* worth the money.
