There are a number of options but we will focus on the main 5 points which are a must for any website designer.

 1. Mastering any Page builder:

As there are many WordPress page builder plugins like

• drizzy
• elementor
• divi
• avada theme
• site origin
• beaver
• and many more

You must focus using any on any one of it and start mastering it. As using too many page builders together may consume too much time and can end up in frustration.

 2.  Bringing Traffic to Website:

This is the most important part of web designing. Once you have created a website now its time to attract people to your business.

Designing and putting up your website is not enough you have to let others know about your service. Your products and the timings in which you are available to serve them.

Letting people know the 4 W’s & 1H’s:

• What You Do.
• Where you Work or Serve.
• Whom do you work for?
• When do you work?

1H is:

• How do you work?

So you need to start learning “How to bring traffic to your website?”

Now, let me tell you a story because with this you will be able to understand the third very very important part of offering your services as a web designer.

A friend of mine came over to me and said, “I am working as a home-based cook, and would be making food and delivering them to local place offices, houses and would also be taking some orders. So I want a website showing whatever cooking services I am providing and I also need to promote my business locally so that delivering food becomes easier for me.”

So, first of all, I jot down her requirements:

• I need to provide food services to local people and cover the area which is near her place.
• She also mentioned that her working hours would be
• She would be taking orders between 10:00 a.m. -12:00 a.m. and
• Food would be delivered between 1:00 p.m.- 2:00 p.m.

This is called Funnels.

Here comes the third part of business running as a website designer.

 3. Design basic funnels:

This  is a stepwise procedure in which your client follows these steps

1. Selects a particular service discount
2. Then he comes to an opt-in page
3. Then thank you page and
4. Confirmation page comes for clients subscription for keeping the customers updated with your latest services

To make the Opt-in complete we need to integrate it with email autoresponder like

• MailChimp
• ActiveCampaign etc

This can also be achieved with page-builders you just need to be clear on the concept of how these would be merging together.

 4. Improving Design skills:

Yes, this is back on the list. Design skills are very very important because having an eye for color layout, typography can make your designs look professional.

You can grab a lot of audience and traffic believe if you follow these simple steps to make a good design.
