I see a lot of web designers who want to start their own company and don't know where to start. I started my Albuquerque Web Design Company in 2020. Technically, I started in 2019, but I didn't get serious until I moved to Albuquerque. If you are serious about growing your web design company, you can't just design websites. You also have to learn how to do SEO. I currently help several web designers with their SEO because they are great at design but don't know much about search engines.
The first step is design your website When I started my website didn't look that great. I am calling myself a badass, but my website kinda sucked. The funny thing is I see a lot of web designers start out that way. If your website sucks, you aren't going to get clients. So, before you can really get clients make sure your own website looks great. Add content to your website Don't just throw up a couple pages with a few words of text on them. Write really good pages for your website. I like to do feminine web design so I created a page just for feminine websites. Add a portfolio to your website. You might start out with just two or three websites in your portfolio. That's okay it's a start. Make sure your website looks great. Then start looking for clients. How to find clients for your web design company At first, I found most of my clients from Facebook and Facebook groups. If you don't have a lot of Facebook friends start adding business owners as friends. BUT don't SPAM them. Just make friends with them. You will eventually get to know them and when they are ready for a website, you'll be the girl they go to. Offer your friends and family web design for a low price just to get some samples in your portfolio. Consider posting in Facebook groups offering web design for a review or for a really low fee. You have to start somewhere. Getting some samples of your work and building a few relationships with clients will help. Start learning everything you can about search engines If you really want to be successful you need people to find your web design business. Get your business listed in Google My Business and start working on getting reviews. If you really want a a jump start, hire an SEO company to get you going. Once you are ranked well in Google, you can either find out how to do SEO yourself or find an SEO reseller to help you. That's kind of how I got started. I hope this was helpful.
