Providing value with web development

[spirit]

So, I'm at a stage where I'm well-versed at front-end web development. I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, as well as JQuery and Bootstrap. While I don't know everything, I know I can Google and figure out whatever problem I'm stuck on. I've also been developing pretty decent sites with my own designs, not just using templates.

So, I have a few questions:

1. How can I provide the most value as a front-end developer? I know it's not just about creating "pretty" websites, but helping the respective business owners. I think one thing I can do is learn copywriting and apply it to the content on my sites, to increase conversions.

2. I know this is very "slow lane", but I do want to get a job in my town. My reasoning is primarily financial, and also as a learning experience. How do I know if I'm ready to apply and get a job? I have a small portfolio right now of about 5 projects, which I believe are fairly high quality.

3. How do I help clients the most? As I mentioned, I can create sites and also use copywriting to help sales. But what else can I do?

Thanks!
