Freelancing as a web designer is known to have feast or famine seasons. It seems like you either have more work than you can handle or you’re worried about being able to find another client before it’s to late.
What if I told you there was something you could put into place today to keep you from having to ride the roller coaster of ups and downs with your web design business?
Good news. It’s not that hard to implement and it’s something your clients are actually hoping you’ll offer to them.
I’m talking about website maintenance packages.
Website maintenance packages are a great way to make recurring revenue as a web designer. It keeps your income steady, so you don’t have to worry about where your next paycheck is going to come from.
It also keeps you at the forefront of your clients minds the next time they are ready to make updates to their site OR when they have a new project all together.
In this week’s episode of the Self-Made Web Designer Podcast I talk about all things website maintenance packages.
Josh has been building his web design business (that he just recently sold) for over a decade. And, one of the main things he did to find success was offer clients website maintenance packages.
Josh is a pro on how to communicate the value of a maintenance package to clients and how to make it easy on you as a web designer so you’re not spending tons of time updating sites.
Like Josh, if there’s one thing I wish I would have done sooner in my web design business it’s offering website maintenance packages to my clients.
Here’s your chance to learn all things website maintenance packages and grow your web design business.
