Would You Hire This Web Designer?

You're Either Loaded, Stupid or Ignorant...
(If you haven't responded to my previous letter)

LOL

So you don't care if your website makes money or not?

I laughed at this one -

Obama Wil Not Save Your Business...
But A Well Built Website Can Do Nice Things
For Your Bottom Line.

I would definitely buy from someone who has the creativity to write this.

I dont know about these. A good designer doesn't need catchy headlines, they just get spread by word of mouth and showing that theyre available.

Nop. not look much professional...

Nope. No proof. Just big claims.

The vast, vast, majority of web designers have little to zero interest in tracking results. Every last one claims to bring in more business, but they'd rather chew off a leg than have to substantiate that claim.

And truth be told, the vast majority couldn't describe a single element they've changed that boosted results if you held a gun to their head. Web design has devolved into a field of taking credit, while shunning resposibility for results.

Let's take an example of yours "The competition on the first page of Google is getting tougher"

Now, you don't say your client's customers have achieved anything through the goat entrails and charms (sorry SEO expertise) the client is selling. Essentially, this whole field is stuck looking at the market like they just got on the web two weeks ago. It's not 1998 anymore.

I suggest developing a target customer profile. Of a busines owner who got on the web eight years ago, and has redesigned twice. ...Each design from a different designer who promised to bring in more sales ...but didn't.

If you're going to make a claim, back it up. And why not do so right there in the headline. Better still, point out the pain they already have ...the money they have been losing, and will lose, every single minute they delay. That's the mindset you want to target.

These are my favorites:

Those are my favorites.

They are JUST a bit outrageous, but not too much so that they might come off rude..

AND I love the one about OBAMA... you KNOW every business owner will identify with that one!!

Great job writing these!!
