If you've had a quiet month and you're tempted to drop your prices, please don't. There's usually money sitting in places you haven't looked yet.

Check out my group - https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/sparks-group-mentoring/

It's a supportive group mentoring session for website designers and developers to bring their questions, roadblocks, ideas, and "is it just me?" moments.

Welcome to another episode of Websites Made Simple with me, Holly Christie.

In this episode, I'm helping you work out a plan to make more money in your web design business right now. Some of it brings in cash quickly, and some of it builds a steadier pipeline, so web design doesn't have to be feast or famine.

We get into:

Why the website is only one part of what your client is paying for, and why you still stand firm on your prices

My payment terms, and why content deadlines stop you building next year's website at last year's prices

Why your previous clients are your quickest win, and when to ask them for a testimonial and a referral

How hosting and maintenance bring me steady monthly income, and what to offer if you design on Squarespace, Wix, Webflow or Shopify

Whether your niche is so tight that people can't find you

Why I tell web designers not to work at an hourly rate

What to charge for a power hour, and why mine often turn into website builds

How I deliver website audits, and my website glow-up

If you want more money coming in without cutting your prices, this one's for you.
