Working from home. Do I advertise my address?

Essien

I'm in the process of setting up as a sole trader in web design and I will be working from the spare room in my house. Needless to say this is not suitable for client visits in any way shape or form.

However, I believe showing a bricks & mortar address is important to help establish trust, so I would like to show it for that reason at least.

When it comes to meeting clients face to face I plan on doing so at their premises or somewhere neutral.

The reason I ask is that I'm designing my own website right now and I'm not sure if I should include it or not. Same goes for printed stationery too I suppose.

What's the norm in this situation?

Cheers.

I would think it is a good idea, I would not look at some exclusively online service provider with no physical address. It will give an additional level of security/comfort to prospective clients.

I'd go for a virtual office to be honest
