No
This isn't a bad keyword phrase, but it's not a great one either. People search more for \"web design\" than they do for \"website design\". Plus, with the spelling issue (is website one word or two?) you get more people with web as a separate word. - Where is the keyword phrase found?
; With a keyword density of: 0%

3
Two of the links are from the site itself. It's important to get related sites to link to your site with the keyword phrase you're trying to optimize for. - When was the page last modified?

Pages that are modified with significant content changes do well in search engines, but constant little changes can hurt your ranking.

Tables make pages very hard to optimize, because you can't place the most important content first. I would redesign the site with CSS for layout, instead of tables. I would then focus on getting the keyword phrase in as many locations as possible on the page. Including: the meta title, h1, h2, and h3 headlines, the first paragraph at least twice, other paragraphs, emphasized on the page, in image alt text, in the URL, and in link text on the page.
