Maybe, if I needed a simple website and didn't already know how to do that myself, yours looks decent enough if whatever I need a website for isn't too important.
What I would not hire you guys for is branding. Your own website has design and copy that I can best describe as uninspired. What is your own brand identity supposed to be besides white and orange and the word "professional"? What do you uniquely bring to the table and how can I feel that in your design? Currently I feel no creativity there, you've got a handful of nested containers with radius corners and drop shadow, just like the next 1000 sites I will visit. That's a problem for a design agency.
Right now you list the things every designer strives to do but what are you doing differently or what unique experience do you bring to the table? Do you have some strange background that gives you an interesting edge? Do you have a portfolio that shows great work at half the price of competitors? I don't know because you didn't tell me in those key points.
You're four web experts supposedly, but I'm just supposed to take your word for it I guess. You've got a one page site with no references to past work or anything. If your target audience is me, you lost me because of this immediately. If your target audience is tiny businesses who are tech illiterate, you've lost them because you don't list a single name or photo on the site so they have no clue who you are.
If you have had no clients yet, that's ok, at least make some example sites to show off the breadth of your skills. Take the opportunity to really go to the extremes and show off the most stylized sites. Even Apple has a stylized site, but most important their brand identity is crystal clear.
So maybe I'd hire you if I already had a full Figma mockup of my site, because I assume you can at least build a website. But I definitely wouldn't trust you with my brand identity.
