Welcome to the forum!
Another opportunity is to participate in various Wordpress related forums, Slack channels etc - anywhere where WP developers gather. The trick here is to get known for offering advice, solving issues and so on. Once you get known and build a good reputation it's more than possible people will approach you, or you can prove your abilities when bidding for work. This approach has served me well with the CMS I use (going back 20+ years!).
Also don't rule out going to any real world gatherings/conventions you can attend. Look for local groups that have things like speaker evenings, there may be one or two down your way.

I used to run a 'websites for dummies' evening class. Apart from getting paid to teach it generated some decent leads.
And I've done a 'fix your website' thing at the local library where people come and ask questions. Again, a useful source of leads.
Everywhere has a tradesmans pub. Go there when the knock off work and you can pick up loads of work - you just need to be chatty.
Getting out the house and talking to people still works. Those letters I used to write were followed up with a visit. Sit in their office and listen to them talk about their business. Nod and agree and the contract is pretty much yours for the asking.

Take a complete backup of the files and databases of the sub-domain which you wish to move.
Create a new cPanel account for the new domain.
Upload the files and databases.
Finding all the databases can be fun.
Or pay your host to do it for you.
I've got a fully managed dedicated server. Worked out far more cost effective than a VPS. I host about 20 sites for clients and that pays for the server.

I've not done it but here's how I would approach it.
Backup your email folders for the email account you want to move
Delete the relevant email account/forwarders/filters
Detach/remove the alias domain
Create a new Cpanel account for the domain
Create a new email account for the domain
Upload backed up email folders to the appropriate location
In theory it should just work since the domains DNS is already mapped to the server.

If it's an alias domain the Cpanel account should already have a different primary domain assigned to it, which is likely the web site. If you remove the alias it won't affect the domain that the web site runs on.

Ask your server support to move the account. That way you won't lose anything.

No it isn't 👨‍⚖️
Frank, honest advice that will save oxenwagon and other users hours of strife is welcome.

It was great to see Lewis winning his first race with Ferrari last week.

Nothing you have described is new. The search engines have been doing this for years. Those who have done their research stopped focusing on keywords and now consider search intent. It's not even SEO, it's basic marketing.

Good luck with the upgrade, may you suffer no PHP wobblies!

Awesome that you're finally getting round to making a website after buying the domain 24 years ago! I wonder how many of us here are sat on domains that we've not yet got round to doing anything with...
The training stuff is cool, especially your plan and philosophy, so having that linked to in the main menu might be good?
Other than that, everything looks and handles well on desktop and mobile for me.
What camera and lens are you using for the photos you're taking? Some of these are a lot nicer than smartphone images!
And how's the distancing from Facebook going?

You really stuck your neck out with this one. 
Feels like early 2000s internet, in the best way.
Loses a mark because I was very much hoping to learn more giraffe facts, but the link goes to a 404.

Hello.
Please take a view at this website I have made.

Vitamin 'N' is very, very good for you - and is healthy for time wasters like that person!

Then just do as I suggest. Get a domain name, hosting and pay for forum software.
But...
You idea will not work. Developers don't give away their time for free. If someone needs free help learning how to build a website they can use stackexchange, AI tools, Wordpress tutorials, youtube and so on.

So late last year I was approached by someone to do a design job. I went through all the meetings, asking questions to get the info I need to do a quote. I then spent the time putting a proposal and a quote and send it through to the client. I then contact them again letting them know it's been sent and for them to read it and get back to me. Later on I gave a follow up call to make sure they got it and they said they'll look at it.
After a while I still haven't heard anything back. I call again and ask if they receive and have read it. They tell me they haven't looked at it and ask me when did I send it. I give them the exact date. They then tell me to send them another copy and they'll look at it. Even though they've been sent a copy, I send another one.
This week, I realized it's been weeks and still nothing from this guy. At this point I was fed up and the mental energy with dealing with these kinds of clients isn't worth it. If they can't spend five minutes reading a document, imagine how painful doing the actual job will be. I call up and speak to the client, I tell them that I'm following up the proposal I've now sent twice and that I never heard back from. As soon as he goes to speak, I can tell he never bothered looking at it. I tell him I have had other work offers and because we haven't progressed, I'm going to move on with those. I thank him for his time and wish him the best. He then starts giving me excuses about being busy and says that he'll probably come back to me later in the year. I don't bite on this and just say thank you and have a good day.
As much as we try and accommodate people, I gets tiring having people wanting you to do work but then can't be bothered reading an email, looking at a document or picking up the phone. They drag things out for weeks and months with the same stock excuses. Firing someone like this is a nice weight off my shoulders and something I should do more often.

Romain Grosjean on surviving the Bahrain 2020 crash, the setbacks throughout his F1 career and how he rebuilt himself in IndyCar. This interview is a fascinating look at one of modern F1’s most resilient drivers and what it takes to keep going after everything he went through.
 

I stopped building websites a few years back as it was getting harder to find clients willing to pay the appropriate amount.
What is far more lucrative is building plugins. Find your niche and the money can come rolling in. 
The alternative is to build niche websites. I know a chap in the USA who specializes in websites for baptist churches. Word got around and he now has hundreds of clients. most of his money now comes from website maintenance.

Welcome!
The only thing I can think to add to BlueDreamer's suggestion is to have a way of approaching local businesses in real life whose websites need some TLC. You'll build connections and get recommendations if you're persistent and pleasant to deal with 🤘

Welcome to the forums.
Finding work is hard nowadays, it's not like back in the 1990's/early 2000's when there was so much work I had to turn a lot away! 
Here's a few things I'd suggest:
Make sure your site can be found for searches such as "wordpress niagra-on-the-lake", your speciality and location Try some adverts in local publications, I have, in the past, posted an advert to our local magazine (in the UK!) that gets delivered free to about 10k homes in the surrounding area, that's bought me a few jobs at a very low cost.  If you aren't doing so already the WP community is huge so getting involved there a bit can get your name out a bit. Offer some WP things, a plugin maybe or a theme or two. extend your arsenal a bit and offer services for one or more other CMS's, WP runs about 40% of sites but not the other 60% so there is always another market to tap into.  

Hello all,
I run a small web design studio in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.  I was born in Gillingham, Kent but my parents moved us here when I was little.  I build WordPress websites focusing on modern and clean websites with minimal weight.  Currently looking for clients so I was wondering, what are some of your strategies for locating new clients that all of you use?  I was hoping to see what other designers and smaller studios do from different places to secure new clients.

I have been building websites for about 7 years, starting my first client build with an html coded website.  I am interested in SEO best practices, WordPress and building custom websites exploring ACF to create client areas for content updates.

Would love to connect and/or colaborate.  Wishing all continued success!

Cheers, 

J.P.

That wasn't a good idea. If you must use AI claude is far better.
Get rid of bootstrap - it's dated and clunky and adds in load of code you don't need.
You then have two more CSS files you don't need. Instead of icons try using SVG
Experiment with display:grid and display:flex. They will give you far more control than using lists.
But I have to ask. For whom is the website? Is it so you can learn to code or is this just a hobby site?
 
 

You have set a fixed height to your .footer-basic class: height: 238px;
Either remove the height rule, or you could change it to min-height: 238px; in which case it should expand to fit the contents.

I use it for simple task within larger projects. I use it for tasks I don't do very often. For example I needed a regex to format an output. I couldn't remember how to do this but claude gave me the answer in seconds. I could have read the regex documentation and figured it out myself but using an AI tool was faster.

@Jogeta316 Yes Ai is having an effect, we'll have to see what happens there. Some devs I work with are always asking an Ai to generate code, the results are often laughable!
