Everyone’s chasing seo, smma, and ai automation, but there’s a quiet goldmine sitting right in front of us custom web design for overlooked local businesses.most agencies push generic templates, but small businesses want unique, conversion focused sites that don’t look like every other wordpress theme. that’s where the money is.

what’s the play?​

  • target businesses that rely on bookings, barbers, mechanics, clinics
  • offer a tailored experience, not just a site think branding, ux, seo optimized pages
  • use underrated themes & plugins to stand out
  • price based on value, not time a $2k site that increases revenue is cheap to them

bonus: where to find clients​

  • local facebook groups, business owners complain there all the time
  • linkedin outreach, find businesses with outdated websites
  • cold email with proof of concept, send a quick redesign mockup, it works
 
Have you ever tried this yourself?
Working it out now, hence the post! Would you like to try it with me? But yes ive made sites for money before...
 
Isn’t it just web design? Most agencies cater to UX anyway especially more so now than before

Too many things going on right now, but I'll definitely try it. From past experience, I have seen most of these business owners don't even care, and when they do care, they want to pay too low.

Okay then, maybe next time we can give it a go round together!
 
Why don't you just rank the website and rent it out for a monthly fee?

Makes more money long term and is a steady, recurring revenue every month.

Very nice thank you for the adage.

This part especially will most likely close them for sure
