I'm an introvert and I have disability, so working from home is perfect for me. I'm now considering to start a web design business, and the biggest challenge for me is how to get clients
Thank you, Sam! I like how you logically structure each step in the journey to getting a first client and conducting business with them. A very useful framework!
Thank you for making this video, I also want to start web design business and this video is like a roadmap for that. Hope to see more videos on this topic in future as well.
Did you keep some type of monthly maintenance plan with your clients once you swapped over to webflow? maybe swapping backups/updates with something like website content updates?
I do have some webflow clients on retainer for ongoing work in terms of creating new pages and uploading content etc. But it’s less common compared to Wordpress of course where it’s essentially a prerequisite to add a monthly maintenance fee ha. For me the trade off was worth it since I never have to worry about updating anything or worrying about what daft plugin they’ve installed 👍🏻
Hi. Can you pay an insurance which covers you if you ever get sued being a Sole trader? I think you can and not necessarily go to Limited Company which you can’t afford as a beginner right? Do clients sue so much?
Thanks for making the video, Sam. I found the structure you provided on how to approach building web design business to be helpful. What are your thoughts on SEO for webflow vs Wordpress sites? Always thought Wordpress had an advantage when it comes to SEO. Would love your take on this. Thanks
My pleasure dude! I still think Wordpress is great particularly when paired up with a builder like Bricks builder. However SEO is SEO whatever platform you’re on so whilst there’s more SEO plugins for WordPress, the core principles are the same. I predominantly use Webflow because I genuinely think it’s the best builder out there and having the hosting all managed for you is just one less thing to worry about 👍🏻 it has some limitations but for creative CMS marketing style websites it’s perfect and very quick. Ecommerce not so much, so it depends what kind of sites you like to build.
hey mate, amazing video! I just built 2 professional mobile friendly websites on wordpress. But when I searched wordpress jobs, I was mindblown by their requirements. They need PHP, Javascript, API integration, and few more skillsets as well, and this was common in most of the wordpress job vacancies. Does one have to learn all of these for web design projects?
Sir I've a doubt When we will handover the website to the client do we need to tell them about the running cost of the Webflow website such as Webflow monthly plans & Hosting Or do we need to tell these things before the website is built?
Hi Sam, this is so interesting and I really want to try this web design business from home. My question is: What kind of contract do you usually written down in your contract? To be honest, I am not really good in writing a contract. And I'm very new to this (I mean how to write a contact) I usually develop websites for clients using Wordpress but never using Webflow. But mostly do it from scratch using PHP. Thanks a lot for your best video tutorial.
I’m considering starting a web design business from home. But who pays for hosting and domains? How do you go about that part of it especially if they don’t understand how it works.
I will add it into the total price and tell client the total cost of the project. If they ask you for a price breakdown is when you discuss hosting and domains to them. But I will go ahead and add it to the total along with your labor.
hi i just code my websites and do you think it's going to be fine and better to code your websites or website builders. what do you think is better for a web design business. i am really hoping for a reply.
I think it’s fine either way and probably depends on the project. However most of my clients require a CMS so I find I can give client what they want in half the time using Webflow or Bricks for WordPress.
Are there any web design agencies out there that use code (HTML, CSS and Javascript) to create websites for clients or is that just not worth it anymore with these no code editors like webflow?
There definitely is and it’s still vital for some projects. However, for the kinds of sites I like to make which I’d class as CMS driven marketing websites, it’s just so much faster than coding by hand. Most clients want their websites completed yesterday, so a tool like webflow allows you to move much faster whilst setting up a custom CMS for your clients. Those that already know how to code would be able to move even faster with Webflow 👍🏻
This must be the go to youtube video nonsense at the moment. It was bootcamps and learning to code, now it's starting a whole agency with no expertise whatsoever.
lmao I know what you mean but I think this channel is not like that, and most web agency is free lancer for short explanation. btw if you ever searching or learning how free lancer work this is one of the way into this niche industry.

lol, how did I know this video would begin with Sam going 'Okay...'
I started with “right” in the previous video at least lol

I hope you give it a go and I’m sure you’d do well. I started my first few projects on freelancer.com just to get used to the process. Good luck! 👍🏻

I have not used Bricks, what's different from elementor builder?
Sir I've a doubt
When we will handover the website to the client do we need to tell them about the running cost of the Webflow website such as Webflow monthly plans & Hosting
Or do we need to tell these things before the website is built?

Hey 👋 I use a tool called hellobonsai for contracts and invoicing. Thank you and good luck with the business!
Can you please make a video on making a contract?
Great video Sam ! Could you make a video on your process becoming a Webflow certified expert
Thank you! I’ll add it to the list 👍🏻
@@sam-harrison Thank you ! I'm sure myself and a whole bunch of people would love to know more about it
I’m considering starting a web design business from home. But who pays for hosting and domains? How do you go about that part of it especially if they don’t understand how it works.
I will add it into the total price and tell client the total cost of the project. If they ask you for a price breakdown is when you discuss hosting and domains to them. But I will go ahead and add it to the total along with your labor.
Which niche do you recommend I have built WordPress websites for clients but getting work is hard
Hey dude, it’s hard to say but I’d choose an industry that has money like finance for example 👍🏻
Anyone have information on Wix Studio vs Webflow?
how to show off a concept website? Do I need it to get published/live?
Yes I would do, that way clients can click on a live link. With webflow for example you can use the free webflow.io domain 👍🏻
@@sam-harrison cool thank you!
Hey how do I get clients?

or instead of wordpress or webflow, pure html, css and javascript + Vue
can i lunch my web design agency from scratch and make10k/m its possible????
你的聲音讓我濕潤?
This must be the go to youtube video nonsense at the moment. It was bootcamps and learning to code, now it's starting a whole agency with no expertise whatsoever.
Please explain what you mean?
@sam-harrison I think what he's saying creating website from scratch is best using html css and javascript
lmao I know what you mean but I think this channel is not like that, and most web agency is free lancer for short explanation.
btw if you ever searching or learning how free lancer work this is one of the way into this niche industry.
@@sam-harrison he call you as a faker that sell people "dreams" or "hope" to earn money something like that.
Can you add me to your network 😊
