Hey Michael, I would say it is a 50/50 split. Slightly larger business are the ones who often have photography ready to supply, perhaps 75% of website clients need content writing for them.
@@michaelqueen2272 hey Michael, how are you? I actually outsource the content writing, those who wrote for a living do a far better job than I do and in less time 😅
hi tristan parker, first of all thank u for the effort to deliver good content and your motive to help others. I would like to share my opinion. The title says how to sell web design services and sell clients worth 3000usd websites. I was expecting content like more details or example showcase of which business to approach and how to find those clients online or offline. What is the exact phrase to use during the call (script) Etc. I understand u might have those in other videos. But i was expecting more in depth content. Good luck for ur future videos. It would be very helpful for us if u could share those details. Most of the videos in youtube gives us only an outline how to get clients. If u can make a very brief video on where to search a client or how to search a client like directory or online etc. Kindly do this video if u can. Cheers
@@tristanparker yeah bro I believe so. because there is nothing wrong in your content, these are quality contents and I believe that you would definitely hit top of the list. your contents tell me that you are an experienced guy. you know what you are talking about, you know your audience well and definitely your video editing and the production is top notch. keep it on good luck for you brother
Hi, I need to build a website with custom design, blog functionality, contact form, subscription to a waiting list and it needs to be multilingual (Dutch, French, English). Would you also charge $3000 dollars for this project?
I am so appreciative of your expertise and how you are laying it out for us! This is such valuable information… I know I’m an amazing designer but the systems is what I absolutely am needing so the way you articulate everything is wonderful! thank you!
You are able to contact, speak to and win clients all over remote methods, email, zoom/phone calls etc. COVID restrictions haven’t been a problem for acquiring new business. The type of business were able to acquire has changed a little. Eg, if gyms and restaurants have closed, maybe reach out to retail and e-commerce customers.
@@tristanparker I have no idea but yeah, you're probably right. But I don't call them, they call me and it's like they want to set their own price. I've gotten calls from people that want a site for free with the promise of paying me once they start earning and/or recommend me to friends. It's nuts.
Is it possible to start a web design business for $0? I struggle to sell clients on using WordPress. They need to pay me $700-$2,500 - then they need to pay for hosting and domain costs. After all that they need to pay for any paid plugins I use to create the website and the business plan. Any lower cost solutions? Any ways I can convince the client to pay so much for a wp website or lower costs? Thanks
Yes, still able to get clients. A lot of businesses in the uk are still transitioning to take their businesses online. Whether it is offering takeaway, or selling clothing etc. A lot of businesses are still functioning as normal. Plus you have those who are starting their own businesses and want a professional website. What stage are you at in your web design journey. Are you ok based?
Do you think one could loose a potential client because of bad English accent? Im kinda scared of that. By the way, thanks for the video, it was highly informative and the pacing was on point :)
Not having an English accent isn’t going to be a problem at all. If you speak the English language well then you can communicate with English speaking countries… this opens up your doors to more opportunity
I’m transitioning into the tech industry and will run my own company, the thing I’d change would be the price for a company that’s making 100k and up I’d charge 8 to 10k and make that my standard starting point
When you talk to the on the right way and ask strategic questions to get them to open up, it becomes a lot easier. Eg asking them what their revenue goal is, then asking them how far off that are they ? … you’ll often get a positive response from them.
I want to sell my web site designs and stuff but I don’t know how to get a admin panel for each client and stuff so they can then change images text and etc, do you have any idea
I have a client that wants a new website, but already has an old one on their desired domain name. I want to start developing without creating downtime on their current site. How do I do this?
@@tristanparker Would it be wise for me to buy a 'test' domain name for my company and develop that? Or should i use a subdomain on my own website? I'm sorry but I'm quite new to this.
I have a client that wants me to build them a website, create a logo and setup an Instagram and Facebook page!!! How much would u charge!! I don’t want to cut myself short!!!
Depends on the requirements. If their copy is fine and SEO optimised, I’ll copy paste it. Otherwise they have the option to supply their own copy or we can assign a copywriter to produce the content for an additional cost
Thank you, the thumbs down seems a little unnecessary. I’ve been a Wordpress developer for over 10 years. No code tools are here to stay, and as an agency owner, it’s way more efficient using elementor. Often the end result is what the customer cares about, not that you were able to ‘code’ the website. Best of luck
I’ve also been being Wordpress for over 10yrs. Using that page editor is a choice by the developer. More efficient on who? You because your to lazy to learn the correct way of building Wordpress.
I genuinely do value your opinion Adam, but I think you missed my point. I already know how to create custom Wordpress themes using PHP - I did it for years before swapping to no-code solutions, so I would argue that I am 'real' Wordpress developer. However, the turning point for me was when I realised that whether you choose to spend hours coding a website from scratch, or us a no code tool like Elementor (or even Webflow), your end product is ultimately going to end up the same. You see, the client only cares about the website, the purpose it serves and the value it brings to them. They really do not care about how it was built it. So why spend hours doing something that you could do in half the time, and get paid the same? Now I am not saying that the likes of Elementor is correct for every project, but for most cases its great. Plus I am confident that any business owner will tell you that it isn’t lazy to find faster ways of doing things, it's smart and profitable. You’d be surprised how many well established profitable agencies use Elementor too. This is of course just my opinion and everyone has different ways of doing things Thanks for the response :)
@@tristanparker This is a very fair defense. As a web developer for small businesses, we really have two main objectives. (1.) Give the client what they sought (i.e., make them happy) and (2.)

E-commerce for just $3k? I think you’re really underselling your services.
Yes, the prices are now much higher that this. But getting started in your business, it’s a fair price.
@@tristanparker glad to hear it!
Hello, mate, yes it all looks great. But, how are you able to get clients, and, sell with Covid restrictions? Cheers

The type of business were able to acquire has changed a little. Eg, if gyms and restaurants have closed, maybe reach out to retail and e-commerce customers.
Cold email, cold calls, cold DM's on social media. Just get in contact with owners and pitch them your offer!
Good information but can you tell where websites can be sold? Market places or platforms?
Lately, I've been getting a alot of "you're too high, my nephew, neighbor's son, or whatever can do it for way cheaper".
I would say your targeting too small of a business or one man business.

Aiming too low on the volume!
6.27 typo ? Websies
Nice content though, a bit more concise maybe ?
I'd say this is a fair criticism. There's way too much fluff. I don't like having to waste my time fast-forwarding through nonsense.
Great content, but how do u get paid like cash and PayPal options does not sounds professional. So how can we get paid then ?
Is that 100k revenue/year, or net profit?
Yeah fair point. I’d say net profit, or as close to 100k net profit as possible.
Love the value you're giving through your videos.
Thanks 🙏 appreciate the feedback
How to say everything without actually saying anything - yikes from me.
What technology are we using to develop these website on? Wordpress? MERN Stack? MEAN?
Question. What iof you can't afford to pay someone to help you?
If you need help from a freelancer, you’ll need to figure out how much it costs, and you can cover that using the project deposit.
