How hardcore is a typical site for a newly launched Ltd?

I just knocked up some simple HTML with my name and other major points inside <blink> tags. Sadly it seems to have stopped working.

My experience is that, at least among web developers, the cobbler's child goes barefoot: a few very dated blog posts, probably in WordPress, with a self-made theme that more than adequately proves that a web developer is not to be confused with a web designer.

Sometimes the theme has been ripped out and replaced with a single line of CSS to switch the font from Times New Roman (the browser default) to Helvetica, with the most recent blog post being about planning to get a new theme sorted out Real Soon Now. That blog post will be dated sometime in the previous decade. This at least has the virtue of proving that the developer is in such constant demand that they don't have time to waste on their own site

And probably some waffle about foxes on there too!

Yes, having the most recent post be about something completely unrelated to one's professional activities is also good

I like that thinking. And the foxes!

I just manually cobbled up sth W3C compliant that looks and works ok, nothing too fancy, in my view this should be the equivalent of a business card.
I get hits on my portfolio and clients looking for details like vat number.
