Thanks for this comment 🙏🏼 Good luck!!

What's the simplw solutiom you are talking about & dod you actually had a go at it?

​@darkrangerl I was just trying to build custom sites for everyone using a template just to get them off the ground. I'm offering website, domain securing, and email hosting, which is all for the simple solution.

💪🏼

I want to know how you approached. Can you pls share your story 😺

😂 I should have had an offer!

If you think this is informative and follow it I woudnt bet our house on it guys a complete joke

Nice i just turned 15 how much have you made so far and what advice would you give someone your age who’s trying to start this?

🙏🏼thanks. I don’t know the name of the tune sorry

Hey man ! did you find your first client ?

😄 let’s go!

😂

Keep going

Do a lot of businesses actually agree to let international agencies design their websites ? I thought it was all local and word of mouth. How do they end up contacting each other/ reaching out ?

👊🏻thanks!

I just started my web agency

Hey man, i would love to visit your website and see how you are doing, I am also willing to do so@@datawithtess

No he shouldn't do this for free. Why give his competitors something so precious?

You need logo for your business. Please contact now

I always check their site beforehand to create that situation and this can actually be a really great conversation starter!

web designer design the website, web developer recreate the design creating the website

Yeah, It is definitely an easier way to find clients!

I do 5k sites all the time lol. Custom coded though no cms

@@topdev_tech9156 not this piece of shit stuff for sure. Custom is a different story. I got a cms that Ive been building for a couple of years, but I design full front. It goes for 4-7k with a fairly simple ios android app upsell that goes to 12k

I get the majority of my website clients into an SEO campaign which is $1000-2000 per month

Otherwise yes I will try to get some sort of hosting or maintenance fee!

Wow! A video on this would be great!

Hey I am also learning web development

I’m sure you could have success with both. But here are my thoughts: Electricians sell a service with quick turnaround. One job could be $1000+ and be done in a few hours. Interior design has much longer time to fulfillment. I like businesses that get a direct return from my website efforts and electrician seems to be an easier niche for that.

@@PaytonClarkSmith thank you man for clearing my doubts, I can now think clearly 🙌

stay away from anyone who is a painter. Go with electricians most painters are way broke

I know an agency in London that charges $10,000 for designing sites that are ultimately built on Squarespace. Wix also has a fairly decent website builder. You don’t need to learn coding to build websites today. WordPress is overly complex.

I personally use Webflow and love it. But you can be successful with either!

@@PaytonClarkSmith do you have to deal with maintenance? I feel that the problem with wordpress is the continuous maintenance

learn to code and eliminate all your problems

Hmmm this may have changed recently. I know it’s been possible in the past and I imagine there are ways around it. Because so many businesses run out of a residential address.

@@PaytonClarkSmith thanks for your thoughts, Payto

​@@PaytonClarkSmith This changed more than a year ago.

Virtual office

They still do

Absolutely!

Depends on the platform. But make sure it’s in an account they have access to after they pay final invoice. Then publish site to their domain.

@@PaytonClarkSmith not a bad idea for a future video. Thank you for sharing.

Step 1: Have a discovery meeting with the client, do they already have hosting and a domain, if they are already an established business, the chances that they are already paying for a domain are quite high, determine their needs, wants, and schedule a start date and invoice for 50% up front, also schedule a kickoff meeting to dive into the website structure/sitemap/features/design, also let them know there will be post-launch support for x amount of weeks, and then they will enter into a maintenance contract to keep the site running smoothly and malware free. Step 2: Ask the client for the login details for the provider the domain is hosted on so you have full autonomy and access to do your job and attach the domain to a hosting provider if it isn't already. Step 3: During the discovery meeting with the client determine the level of hosting they might require, e.g is it a simple 5 page brochure website? Or is it an ecommerce website? This will allow you to purchase the correct speed, size level of hosting, if you aren't taking it a step further and purchasing your own VMs to upsell them into your own hosting (Which Imo is not worth the hassle for the little extra money) Step 4: Your kickoff meeting with the client should be taking place about now, here you will further in depth about their wants and needs for the website. Step 5: Begin planning your website, I personally use Notion and have a custom ready made project kickoff template which allows me to sort/filter/organise all of their current brand materials, my objective, their requirements, their objective for the website, an overall strategy, calendar for deliverables and overall timeline for website completion. Step 6: Work on designing the website and delivering, meet with the client once a week to make sure they are happy with the work you are doing, before nailing down the design It's suggested that you create a style guide page for them to give the OK on the overall design before you start templating the main page onto 5+ other pages. Step 7: You should now be ready to go live with the website, you should now invoice for the rest of the 50%. Step 8: Now you enter into maintenance mode, if you haven't managed to determine any extra business needs for them that you could upsell as website features during the kickoff meeting, such as brand design, social media, marketing, advertising, graphic design, custom features, booking forms, seasonal changes, etc, then you probably won't see much more work, this client now goes into the yearly maintenance passive income folder. Check up with them every month or 2 to make sure they are happy and don't require any additional help or changes. Congrats, if you've followed every step here, you've successfully overdelivered on a simple website and the client is happy with your work and may start referring you to their business partners and friends!

Why do I need login details for the provider the domain is hosted on and not for the website I’ll be working on? If I use the login for the provider the domain is hosted on, how does the client change the login info after I’ve completed and made their site live?

Just curious, what budget do u think it would be appropiate? Im offering my services and this information would be helpfull 😊

@@agostinaalassia2332what price did you end up doing?

​@@EmmanuelS-dh5ng600 usd 😂... But i know i will do better. 🥲 Somehow...and someday

You should work on your reach out tecniques man, have this ever worked for you?

not yet. I have send emails also.@@danlarjar

👍🏻

He just using clickbait titles for his pasive income

Then charge $500-$1,000. You can build that in one single day and that will get you in the door with that client for future business and collaboration. Sure, most small businesses owners have heard of AI but they have no clue how to successfully utilize it to their benefit, let alone register a domain name, set up hosting, create their optimized Google Business Profile, etc. All that service is definitely worth $500-$1K to most local businesses.

Still works for me and a lot of others ☺️ You just have to have the right attitude!

Charging more than 500 dollar depends on the country. In the Philippines the most u can change ur client is 100 dollars.

Are you guys using Wordpress? And if so, are there some good templates y’all recommend? Rather than building each from scratch from the ground up?
