- First of all I recommend that you create a website for your web design business.
- Then you need to register your business, this is important because some clients will be more than glad to know that you are a registered business.
- Next you will have to market your web design business, usually in the following ways:
1. Do PPC advertising on Google, marketing your website/business.There is a cost involved but almost instant exposure to potential customers.
2. Do SEO, this is FREE, but can take a while
3. Approach companies that you think might be interested in what you have got to offer.
4.Create, flyers,banners,business cards and distribute them.

Lets recap on our previous post related to this one. As mentioned, it is really possible to make money online starting your own web design business.
This article is a follow up on Make Money As A Web Designer This article is intended as a guide as to how much to charge for your web design services and how to manage your projects.
Well in terms of pricing it is recommended that an hourly rate is charged. How much is one hour of your day worth helping another business grow and prosper? Decide upon that.Then calculate the amount of hours needed to complete the project. Here is a great tool (DesignQuote.net), it can give you a good estimate.
Web Design time management
This business takes time, commitment and hard work just like any other successful business.Remember to work timously and have a strategic plan of action.The more you put in and the more value you deliver to your clients the more successful you will become.It is all about give and you will receive! Not take, take and take.Then you will receive NOTHING!
Once the project is completed ask your client if after sales service is required, most clients would take you on as their private webmaster and here is where web maintenance fees come in.Conclude a realistic monthly web maintenance fee to charge for any additional information to be added to your clients website every month as well as changes to be made.
Web Design Pricing
Also in terms of pricing, it is up to you which currency to charge, as the internet is used by the by billions of people all around the world.
If you are targeting your businesses in your locality then play safe with your own currency.If you are targeting the nation charge in dollars or euros.
I recommend using paypal as your payment processor, all you do is head over to paypal and open a business account, simple and easy.Also link you credit card in order to withdraw funds from your local bank.
On how to manage your web design services you need to have a file stored on your hardrive of your computer containing each customers particulars in a different folder.You need to be organized and be able to access information on the go.
This business can reach unreachable heights, as with any online business.It is all about he effort put
in and the value given time and time again. Once the work becomes too much you can start training people or employing individuals to help you with your projects.
What every successful web design company needs:
- Web designers
- Creative minds
- An image
- Add value to customers.
Good Luck on your web design journey!
