Hey, Juan here, so let's go ahead and talk about the web design business model, so with the website
design business model, I mean, this is a model that you can run from anywhere in the world.
You really only need five things to get started with your Web design business.
And I'm going to walk you through that here in the next slide.
But I just want you to think about the fact that with today's day and age, with technology, right.
Where really all you need is a computer, a cell phone and a website.
Right.
And you can be working anywhere in the world and providing clients your web design services.
So it's just a beautiful thing.
It's a great thing for you to be able to take advantage of.
And this is a super lean model here.
I mean, it's going to cost you under a hundred dollars to get started.
So let's go ahead and jump right into this lesson here.
So the business model here, when you're starting your website design business, there are five things
that you're going to need, OK?
And this should cost you between 30 to 50 dollars to get started.
Now, this could be less, but I'm just kind of giving you a rough estimate.
And really all you need is a website.
OK, and I recommend WordPress and then hosting through like nothing cheap.
And I believe it's about twenty dollars a year for hosting.
And then you want an email address and I highly recommend that when you get an email address you get
it within your domain.
OK, so maybe you have like X, Y, Z webdesign, right.
Dotcom, you want to make sure that you have your name at X, Y, Z, Web design company because it,
you know, really portrays you and conveys that professionalism to your prospective clients.
Right.
Because you don't want to be running your business through like a Gmail because then people are not
really going to take you seriously.
So what you're trying to do here is really positioning yourself as somebody who is a professional.
Right.
You're serious about your business.
You have your own email, you have your website, you have a custom logo.
You have, you know, booking software and you have a phone.
Right.
And so these are going to be the five things you're going to need the hosting, like I mentioned, that
you can purchase through name cheap email.
I recommend you go to like G suites with the logo.
I mean, you can build a logo in like five minutes, going to Kambah for free and then booking software.
This is another feature again, that it's really positioning you as a professional, that you take your
business seriously.
And I highly recommend Kalyani.
It's free and literally all it is, is you send somebody a link and they click on the link and then
they can schedule a time to chat with you.
Right.
And then you can have them answer some questions about their particular project.
Right.
And it's just really professional.
And then it gets connected to your calendar on your suite so that you'll get notified whenever somebody
schedules the call with you.
And then it's just a whole professional type of setup.
Right.
And then with the phone, you can use your cell phone or you can use Skype, whatever works best.
And so your job as a Web design agency business owner is to help businesses develop amazingly beautiful
websites that showcase their brand image.
Right.
You want to be able to let these business owners know, hey, listen, your website is a direct reflection
of your particular brand image, just like if you had, you know, your retail location.
Right.
You want your retail location to look a certain way to feel a certain way.
And that is the same thing with your website.
You want it to convey a certain brand image to the public.
Right.
And the great thing about you as a Web design agency business owner is you don't need any special web
design or development skills as you can outsource all of the website build and development.
OK, that's one of the great things there is that you don't need to be a web design expert.
You need to be able to understand that the website is that brand identity brand image.
You need to be able to understand how to ask the right questions, how to position yourself as the authority
expert.
And I'm going to walk you through all of that here in this course.
OK, and so typically what you're going to be doing is charging typically a one time fee for the design
and development, OK?
And it's going to be anywhere between five hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars for a website.
You have to kind of look at the particular business like.
So, for example, let's say you have like a local business that is like a landscaper or maybe like
a plumber, like they're going to have a budget of between 500 to like maybe fifteen hundred dollars
or maybe a thousand.
Right, because they are not going to spend thousands or even tens of thousands on a custom made website
because it doesn't make sense.
Right.
But somebody who is maybe like an e-commerce business or maybe somebody that is been in business for
years and they're looking to redesign their website.
Right.
They may want a whole new website built from scratch and those can be quite profitable.
However, as I mentioned in one of the other previous videos, the custom made websites are going to
be more profitable.
However, they're going to take more time, more energy and more resources.
And so that's why I recommend sticking with the templates, because with the templates, especially
through WordPress, you can still do quite a bit of customization and you won't need to, you know,
do a whole brand new website from scratch.
Right.
So this is essentially here, the website design business model, right.
It's super simple, super lean under 50 dollars and you can get started right away.
So that's going to be here for this video.
And we'll see you on the next one.
Thanks.
