Hi everyone, I just want to bounce some ideas off you guys and heres your thoughts. Not sure if the web design forum or business forum was the best place to post this. I figured there are more designers in this forum. Im fairly new to the web design business. Im getting a few clients here and there but I want to ramp things up. I live in a country where the internet is still relatively new. Large companies have websites but the small local businesses are just getting starting to get websites. I want to corner this market by offering a fast, easy and cheap solution. Since they can only afford a couple of hundred dollars per site, the Idea is to finish them quick and focus on quantity. 10-20+ a month I was thinking of a Wordpress theme customization service. However I dont want them to have to pick out a theme since that will just complicate things and confuse them. It should be as hassle free for them as possible. They can tell me what they like and I pick a theme and customize it. Any tips on how to sell to this market and get as many clients as possible? It would need to be offline. Any Suggestions on making this process more effective and efficient? All ideas and tips are welcome Many thank
It's depend on what scale would you like to offer your services. You said that 10-20+ per month. So, statisticaly it's 1 website per 1-3 days. In my opinion, if you would like to expand your bussines, you should outsource as many jobs as you can (check fiverr or other simple services to find workers), then you will have more time to find more clients. Don't try to do all things alone...
Just look around and offer your services. Ask to see the manager of each potential business, actually being in the store if you can. You want to build up a good reputation within the industry and then people will start to respect your skills and design knowlege.
