Your website is not intended to be misleading. You interpret your
website as it was intended to be interpreted. Outsiders (potential
clients) interpret your website as it appears to outsiders, so please
help yourselves by phrasing your website in such a way that potential
clients do not dismiss you.

Good luck,
Paul Colin Gloster
