Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from web designers in Durham every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
The cobbler's children have no shoes
A web designer with a mediocre website is a credibility problem. Clients judge your skills by your own site first.
Clients don't realise you offer ongoing support
Web design isn't just build and forget. If your website doesn't communicate your maintenance and support services, you're leaving recurring revenue on the table.
Business owners don't know there's a local option
Many small businesses assume they need a London agency. If you're not visible locally, they'll never discover a better, more affordable option right on their doorstep.
Retainer clients going to competitors
The most profitable web design clients want ongoing support. If they can't find you or trust you from your online presence, someone else gets those recurring contracts.
