Hey Everyone,

I recently launched my web design agency and decided to kick off with cold calling. I’ve reached out to about 100 businesses, particularly painters in Toronto with basic websites, offering a no upfront cost deal at $25 a month for hosting and maintenance for my first 20 clients. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen much traction. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or if my offer needs tweaking? I only do static sites so basically no e-commerce would that be limiting myself?

    OP - I don’t understand your business model.

    Let’s say I sign up with you and pay for… I don’t know, 10 months? And then after 10 months I decide I want to just move the site over to my own hosting, can I do that?

    Or is the site literally gatekept behind a monthly fee? In other words, it’s never MY site. I just get to rent it from you per month?

    What about making sites for people using other hosting than your own? Do you work on wordpress or anything similar to that?

    I’m someone who could/would love to be in the market for some basic web services. I have a wordpress site, but there are some things that are beyond my ability to manage. But I couldn’t even entertain hiring someone like you cause I don’t really understand what you do, what you offer, and what I get?
