  Old  Better to "look" big or small?

Hi all,

I have been a web designer for over 10 years now, and have been working for companies for all these years.

I have made the descision to attempt to migrate to the full time freelance market, and was wondering what you think would be the best way to approach it.

I can easily make my "portfolio" site seem like a giant multi million dollar corp, or I can keep it real, and make it a little smaller to portray the fact that it is only me.

Which do you think would be better?

Obviously no matter what, they will ultimately find out that I am working by myself, but I am wondering if making myself look like a well established corp would draw in more potential clients?

I plan on mostly doing the simple 5 page deals, with a pre-designed template from monstertemplates or something. Not that I suck at design, I would just prefer to keep it simple, and knock them out as quickly as possible, while still giving them exactly what they want.
