Yes you can. Say we/us instead of I/me for everything. I know there's one of you, and I know you're proud of that. But if I'm a client, fear of lone wolf syndrome may lead me to avoid your company.

Just imagine how I'll feel if he says we/us on his site and then I discover in our introductory call that he is a loner. Only say "we" if you can justify it. If you tell me you're networked and have a working relationship with ux/designers/programmers maybe that will fly.
I'd be fine with that as long as the "hire me" page makes it clear that it's one guy. "We" has a more collaborative feel when describing the projects.
