It’s really hard to give advice without knowing you better. But, my two-cents advice would be to move up in the market if you can. There’s a ton of squabbling over just a little bit of money near the bottom end of the market. In the higher priced end of the market (in my experience) people are looking for problem-solving and are happy to pay to see their problems taken care of. Especially in design and marketing.

Sometimes I feel the same way in this industry. Use all of those years of experience to your advantage. Specify your niche more. Also, I've found local marketing works great because there's so many people who (even though it's possible to work online) want to work with someone face to face. Location can still work to a web designer's advantage! Experience will triumph overall, and overly saturated market means nothing if you're above average.

I consider myself more of a back-end developer, however I started out doing front-end design. When I was designing I would feel lucky to put out something decently good looking by professional standards. Often times would I feel the difference is in little spacing rules and color palettes, etc. My friend and I have decided to build a product, putting all code and design on me, so, my question is: What are some great large or simple things that you use to make your designs come out professional?
