01 — "Overview"

Tons of businesses still have bad or no websites. Modern tools make it fast to deliver.

02 — "The Crash Course"

  1. Step 01

    Learn one builder

    Framer, Webflow or WordPress. Master it before learning another.

  2. Step 02

    Build 3 portfolio sites

    Redesign real local businesses' outdated sites as concepts.

  3. Step 03

    Find prospects

    Google Maps: businesses with no website, broken mobile sites or slow sites.

  4. Step 04

    Pitch with the mockup

    Email or walk in with a before/after screenshot of their homepage.

  5. Step 05

    Price by project

    $1,500–$5,000 for a small business site with 5 pages.

  6. Step 06

    Sell maintenance

    $50–$200/month for hosting, updates and small edits. Recurring revenue.

  7. Step 07

    Work with a written scope

    Pages, revisions and timeline agreed before starting.

"The math"

2 sites/mo × $2,500 + 10 maintenance clients × $100 = $6,000/mo.

03 — "How people lose"

Scope creep. Define pages, revisions and deliverables in writing before you start.
