I'm starting up a web design business, and I want to know if you were my client, would you like to know my name and my credentials?
Outsourcing marketplaces are swarmed by scammers and poor performers. On TaskArmy we screen the service providers before they can be listed: every single service has been approved manually.

Any business starting out and not having its own established brand needs to build trust. The most basic question any client would need to get answered are
1. Who am I offering the project to?
2. Are they any good? Will they deliver
You name is important for this and your portfolio shows the work done. I'd throw in Testimonials from earlier clients and References in the mix as well.
