Even if the creative business are lower value than the business you now want, the work still demonstrates what you can do. If one of your existing websites involved a web application, e-commerce etc, this shows your capabilities. If you don't think you can jump straight in at £50k, go up to the next price bracket. That way you can use your existing portfolio as a reference. Then just keep leapfrogging up to the bigger business. Don't forget that you can likely charge medium to large business more than you can a small business. If you're quoting based on value to the customer, the value is likely to be higher for a larger business, so you can charge more. So what might be a £10k job for a small business, ends up being a £20k job for a larger company. I once worked for a company that did an e-commerce site for a large plc. They charged £750 per day for development, and the overall cost for the site was in excess of £100k. But if you were freelance, you would likely charge £250-300 per day for the same. However, this large company was used to paying those sort of rates, and we were a 'consultancy' which can make a difference in price!
