To Tricky Dick: duly noted and personally observed. I just revamped the pricing, creating a three-tier, flat-rate pricing system. I even e-mailed someone that denied one of my higher bids to see if they would bite on the highest tier price.
To Prapoza: I appreciate your feedback. Your questions related to my service and pricing are valid, and I actually had a friend ask versions of them to me today. So, I have a good handle on that.
As far as my website goes, I am always seeking feedback. I just asked my developer to read through it for me again yesterday. I try to take critiques (what a politically correct way of saying "I'm gonna knock the wind outta ya but here is a little something sweet to suck on for two seconds") with a grain of salt and with a grain of humility. My only problem with what you said is that you did not even give one small example of something that doesn't make sense to you. If I am going to have a good writer check it over, at least give us both a reference point to begin with.
Also, I disagree that pretty much my entire mission statement and its' finer points sound like everyone else's shtick. Everyone's mission statement and pick-up line is "schmaltzy." That's why I have a list of my services with descriptions and several pictures of the many projects that I have undertaken.
I guess, Prapoza, I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond to my posting, but I don't think that it really hit on what I was looking for. Much of what you wrote has been said on this site, numerous times, and I have taken it to heart every time. Trust me, I don't plan on offering fall clean-ups or any other maintenance item for the rest of my life, let alone next year. I got a late start--July--and I am trying to play catch up (so analyzing my costs, which I have a good handle on, all winter won't really help me now).
