I would like to make an offer for web design services. I am not an expert par excellence but i know enough to make websites using wordpress, and shopping-cart software. I made a simple page with a list of services. Now, if you are interested, take a look and tell me what you think.

This is not a sales page yet, so there is no need to delete this post!

My offer page

    If you're going to sell web design services, I would recommend spending more time on your offer page and making it look more professional. Some of your sample sites look pretty good, but I think people going to a web design page looking for a designer might be turned off by how simple your offer page is.

      This is not an actual page, just the content for viewing purposes of this forum post. Actual web page will look better.

        Ivan,

        Web design services are everywhere and you will have to have a special talent and offer in order to make yourself known. It can certainly be done, but just realize you're going into a very crowded market and you'll be competing with many well-established firms. I've noticed over the past five years, especially, the trend toward do-it-yourself web design using online tools like Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, and even WordPress (with pre-designed templates).

        Good luck, you're going to need it.

          I don't agree with that . If hes a good in his niche he'll make a name in a year , I've seeing it happen at least 20 time for the last 5 years .

          I agree with this.

          My own instinctive reaction, on reading the OP, was "Learn more highly-paid skills".

          I don't think the skills being discussed here are, for the most part, very highly-paid skills at all. And I also think they're effectively getting less and less highly-paid all the time. It's a hugely international market, which means one would inevitably be competing with the regularly and rapidly increasing body of skilled people in countries in which $10 is a decent day's pay, whose prices match that reality. And then there's also the increasing competition from things (or "reducing market because of things", if you prefer to put it that way) like Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, and even WordPress (with pre-designed templates), to which Steve rightly refers.

          .

            I agree with you, but i would offer services for the price within a range that is not that high, since the country where i live is Serbia where average wage is $250.

            I would offer WordPress Website + template + plugins + basic SEO and up to 5 pages for around a hundred dollars.

            Online store with all necessary pages and 10 products for the same price.

    I own a web design agency. Pretty good one.

    No offense at all, but these days most people - especially your target market, most likely - are fairly adept at making basic websites or using any number of those push-button services.

    You need to up your game designwise.

    I was gonna say the same thing.
    If you're offering web design services, your own portfolio-website is you image! It should speak for itself so it wouldn't hurt if you made it look a bit more professional.
