Designing and implementing web systems (NEA related)

I have just gone through the fun of designing and implementing an ecommerce solution for my New Enterprise Allowance venure, I am not sure if I am allowed to show you my work, it's not actually live yet, more of a holding page for when the client does want to go live.
They have a huge influx of orders and don't want to gain more than they can handle, is it ok (with respect to the above) to show a link to the site I have designed?
I am so chuffed of the way I went about this and other clients are starting to talk to me about their project requirements (allot actually don't know their requirements of course, because of the niche I am going into).
I really feel like (judging by other forums and social networks) the lack of support they feel some mentors give them, well they're there to give you advice not do this work for you. They will offer help in where to go for freelance and/or contract work but it's entirely up to you if you take their advice, that's the role of a mentor.
Just very pleased with my mentor in fact I know more about the job he does than even he does now, which is worrying! Well with web programming languages and Content Management Systems.
Was told the way I am going about what I am doing, after showing an example and demoing a sandboxed version of the site I am further developing I could easily charge at least £1,000 for at the absolute minimum.
I love working for myself now it's loads of fun, love new challenges.
Has anyone else had success out of the NEA scheme at the job centre?

Doing some indepth analysis of my outgoings it's a real eye opener!
I find if I keep paying by card and keeping the receipts insisting that I have them from the shop, then itemising them when I get home on excel makes my life a whooole lot easier!
