Is This Where Web Design Is Going? February 6, 2018 by admin The Future of Web Design… Brutal news for some… Joe here… The “do it yourself” website building companies are popping up faster than rabbits, aren’t they? Wix, Weebly, Pagecloud, Duda, Simvoly, GoDaddy, Wix, and many more are in on the game… Taking clients and income from well-deserving web designers and programmers all around. On top of that… TechCrunch reports, in the last 3 years alone… SquareSpace, Padlet, Universe, and Strikingly have raised well over $200 MILLION in VC funding… Giving them as much money to throw at advertising as it takes to TAKE OUT the “littler guys and gals”. And with the new big daddy? …Clickfunnels… …everyone thinks in a click they can set up a 12 page funnel in 5 minutes and watch the cash roll in. Right? As if that wasn’t enough… There’s 1000s of designers and programmers in India, who are working for DOLLARS per hour on Upwork, Freelancer, Fiver, and the other freelance sites. Now, if you don’t mind… Let’s step back and zoom out for a second? With a 2015 GoDaddy survey reporting: …80% of small businesses haven’t even registered a domain name… …over 50% of these companies say they plan on getting a website this year… …Adobe revealing 38% of visitors citing a website’s “look” as the #1 factor in deciding whether or not to make a purchase… The demand and opportunity for top notch web designers has never been higher. Yet… All the $10/month DIY web builders with BIG budgets to spend on paid ads… …make it almost impossible for the “litter guys and gals” to have their own lifestyle business, and make a consistent income online. What does that mean for you? For some… It means getting paid less and less per web design project, JUST to pay the bills. …DESPITE working 50 to 60+ hour work weeks, and staying up until 2am to get “rush” projects done on time. …And… Do you think the do it yourself web building bot army will stop growing any time soon? Probably, not. They’re like the terminator chasing after Sarah Connor, taking out web designers and programmers one after the other. But… Regardless of the parade of tech pundits declaring “the death of web design” as we know it… Some agencies are quietly doing BETTER THAN EVER and bringing in 7-figures or more every single year. In fact, they’re turning the bots against themselves… …and using them to get better clients, and bring in monthly retainers bigger than ever before. They’re trading $500-$1000 website projects into $5000-$15,000 clients and STEADY monthly income. These designers and programmers? They ain’t afraid of no web-building bots! Here’s why: According to Wired.com… Despite all the dire warnings that A.I. is going to turn web design on its head… They know the look-alike websites these bots have been spitting out, are leaving clients with a BAD taste in their mouths. Check this out… Wix.com has about 90 million users. They offer 500 customizable templates. When you do the math… 90 million/500 templates = 180,000 people using the exact same template. Competing for the attention of an increasingly picky customers who can spot a generic “meh” company from a mile away. Here’s why this is good news for you… It presents you with an opportunity to serve businesses who WANT to stand out from the crowd… Ones that realize only a customized, one of a kind solution, will help them get the results they want for their business over and over again. (Whether that’s leads, sales, phone calls, appointments, or whatever else it is they need.) Getting a piece of this kind of action, and landing high-quality clients (and recurring income) like clockwork just requires a NEW PLAN. While many are working 50, 60, 70+ hour a week, and are on the verge of a full-blown-panic-attack-breakdown… …serving nightmare clients who want to pay Wix-like rates for their expertise… Just so they can sock away enough to pay the bills… Others are taking these new trends and are riding the massive waves of NEW OPPORTUNITIES that exist. There’s a new plan for anyone that’s feeling overworked right now, and is ready to lighten their load in 2018… All while still being able to earn a terrific income for their families, on a PART TIME basis. I want to keep you fully informed on these changes and this plan… If that’s cool by you? If you’ll keep an eye out for me over the next few days, I’ll drop by and let you know more. Would you be okay with that?? – Joe
