    Well A link to your company website in your signature is a start. =)

    Do some promoting here on DP and Sitepoint. Discount your prices then build up.

    DO some wordpress templates..

    JV with people who are talking with small business owners for small website creating..

    Advertise it in Google & Yahoo, post articles on Digg and then blog on Myspace, Facebook and other social networks. Do this as fast as you can and people will flock to you.

    For Sales:
    Consider contacting local businesses in your area.
    Depending on your time and budget constraints, this could be done via direct mail, telephone contact, or going door to door.

    For Traffic:
    Work on SEO techniques.
    Use PPC Advertising.
    Article Marketing
    Make your sig a clickable link to your site.
    Participate in relevant forums
    etc...

    And always ... ALWAYS ... begin building your list of targeted prospects.

    I have the same type of business and it is an extremely crowded market. Generally, you'll have to go out searching for your business. I've heard that a lot of people really find success in local markets. The vast majority of your business will be word of mouth.

    Try advertising locally as well. The previous post suggested Word of Mouth advertising will play a key role. I agree...

    If you're looking for marketing methods, search the forum first... there are 3700 posts on marketing sites, and all the fundamentals could be applied to any site/niche...

    Yet another "how to market my site" thread.

    If its work you're after, I would get yourself on the likes of Elance and Rentacoder and start bidding on projects.

    If you want more than the miniscule traffic that those methods can only give you, create nice, appealing ads, and put them in a shit-load of sites that its visitors may like what you have to offer.

    That's basically it, in a nutshell.
