In this video I go over 5 things you should Never do when starting a web design agency.
I've heard so many people talk about how they've wasted weeks and months by not knowing where to begin.
Many agency owners and freelancers also don't tell people they already know that they offer services, which limits their potential to land clients for free!
If you have no clients are getting started with agency, I think this video will help you find your way, and hopefully land your first 3 clients :)

Wow, mind blown! This is so informative❤❤❤❤
Glad you liked it!!
absolutely love the content, Patrick.
My partner and I started our agency earlier this year. We've since had about a dozen different ideas about what direction to go in, and are finally settling into our process. You've inspired me to start UA-cam content production as well, and I'm realizing just how talented of a youtuber you naturally are. The editing is crazy good. I know it's not your normal content, but would love to see an editing tips video. I also see you implementing a lot of classic marketing strategies in your content production, you've got way more of a foundation than we did when we started -- and than we do now, in a lot of ways.
You're gonna be so successful in this career my guy, please keep it up. Looking forward to more of your content. Cheers from Central US 🍻
Wow that means a lot!
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Would love to know how your journey continues, so the best of luck!
Thanks again 🙂
From across the pond
Thank you for sharing, my friend 🙏
My pleasure! Which point helped you?
Biggest mistake freelancers can make is to thinking like an employee. That means your working for next to nothing. The next biggest mistake is to not offer add enough value for their clients so they feel like they have to compete on price and that is a losing fight because there is always someone that wants to be more poor then you. Dont play that game compete with value offered and speed.
Absolutely!!!
And the biggest benefit of providing value is that those clients will probably stay clients for a longer time, and refer others to you
@@patrickspiegel Also when you provide value you 10x your prices and you dont get the bad clients.
@Lightflames85 exactly right!!
What niche are you in?
@@patrickspiegel I am planning a startup in the design industry. It will be connect freelancer with companies throw a subscription service. I know i am not the best designer but I am good at leading people. My role will be an operator first and a lead generator second design 3rd. Freelancers suck for the most part in the business department so I want to help them with that part of their business so they can just create content.
That’s really awesome!
Utilising your strengths to your advantage is perfect!!
When will you be launching or do you have an idea how you’re going to start?
Loving your content man, I'm early in my web design freelancing journey so this is valuable. I'm curious however, what CMS/builder do you use for your client work? I'm 100% a Framer user so I'm curious what you use.
Thanks so much!
I currently use Webflow.
Framer is great to start with i think but I don't know much about it.
I think for smaller websites its really food, but potentially when working with larger companies it might have some restrictions. :)
What about WordPress..?@@patrickspiegel
Amazing video man, Number 1 is the most destructive and important lesson 100%. Iv'e started my digital journey 5 years ago and iv'e been looking & learning everything that i can to start making money online, fast forward today, i still didn't make a cent cuz i've been very indecisive around my main skill and what business model to follow and kept jumping from one thing to another, decided to go all in with Web design last year and I'm happy with the progress I'm making so far ( almost fell for the SMMA and AI race too ) but still reminded myself and stuck to Web design lol.
Thanks so much and love the journey.
Sometimes the right things take time to happen haha.
Or at least thats the excuse I use 😆
Did you go down any specific niche?
@@patrickspiegel Valid excuse lol, cuz they do take time indeed hah. and honestly, I don't wanna pick a niche yet, i just build whatever comes and try to learn and have a wider knowledge about the design & development process for different niches first then I'll pick one soon enough :)
Love it!
How do you currently acquire clients, if you’ve signed any :)
@@patrickspiegel not that many unfortunately no. Only 2 and from my social circle
That’s a start. And nicely putting number 4 to use!
Hey! Awesome knowledge 😄 ❤!~~
Thanks so much!
Which point helped you the most?
@@patrickspiegeltrends and indecisiveness! the most, Because I knew the rest😄😌.
@@rahul_lsh haha fair enough 😁
Hey Patrick , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Thanks!
Not interested right now but thank you!!
I don’t think i’ve related to someone so much before. I actually already have my first web design client for $1000 without a contract but i’ve been indecisive for MONTHS choosing a business model.
I do have an eye for design and actually really enjoy building websites which is why i’ll just work on building sites for now then add on services later
Great video man!
Awesome that you have your first client!!
Trust me I’ve been there (and still am sometimes) with being indecisive.
Some people can choose something and start straight way, whilst others need more time to find their path.
The important thing is to not give up!
And I think that’s a good plan!!
What do you think of Wordpress? 😧
I personally use webflow but WordPress is great :)
Gold!
Thanks so much!
Which point helped you?
If any :)
@@patrickspiegel I already have a small but somewhat established web agency and I saw myself at each point somewhere in the past. I think this is all good advice
Oh awesome!
How has it been going so far?
Where is your website agency in the link section? Possibly I’m blind, but I can’t see any link to your work only links to sell things. What’s the name of your agency? What’s your website?
Hey Patrick, thank you for your guidance, but I was wondering if it's feasible to start a remote digital services agency that also provides web design service by hiring other people to do it for me and I would focus more on building relationships with clients.
Absolutely!
Outsourcing is a great way to building a business.
It's still very important however to understand the services you provide (If that makes sense)
@@patrickspiegelI can also build websites on WordPress myself.
If you offer free sevice to a client, in this case do you have to buy hosting and domain or the client has to buy? And how do you deliver the offered project?
I am pretty confused with these thoughts, please make me understand.
The client buys!
Never do it yourself as you’ll be chasing the client down for the money.
If they sint know how, show them or guide them through the process :)
What do you mean by delivering the project?
@Patrick Spiegel
I'm about to start my own
Web design and development service based in India...i was kinda nervous about the whole system...i was like...shoud i do that or not...is this profitable or not....Although..this video helped me to stick to one thing..thanks a lot..Man
Awesome!! Happy it helped :)
Have you decided on a niche
@@patrickspiegel I was thinking about real estate...is it profitable??...what do you say ??
We’re you thinking about any particular aspect of real estate?
@@patrickspiegel General Websites..maybe
But real estate has many different areas. Developers, agents etc.
Should I choose a niche or i should go as a general web designer for any business?
I would choose a niche to make things easier. You’ll be able to grow a lot faster in my opinion and get things done
Why does it take two additional weeks to add a page to a website?
I am genuinely just curious and appreciate all of your wonderful content!
Hey. Could you remind me what you’re referring to exactly. Sorry don’t know everything I talked about in the video 😆😁
@@patrickspiegel you mentioned it took 3 weeks to finish a 3 page website...and if we do not have a contract in place an additional unplanned for page could possibly take up two more weeks of our time.
@skillfulwebdesign that was just an example. Because some clients will expect you to spend as much time as they want for you to make minor changes. Which is why it’s important to have a contract in place with revisions etc.
Hope that makes sense!
Make sure to check out my video on how I landed my first Client Without Any Outreach 🚀:
ua-cam.com/video/Pf-N9BiVgq4/v-deo.htmlsi=O9sK_2tduSqjFo9e
is needed to get in call with clients to close a job? im from a country that doesn't speak english (brazil) and i think maybe my accent could make me lose sales
I personally think yes.
Maybe with some clients you'll be able to close them through email or dm, but almost all people will want to get on a call.
But I wouldn't let that stop you.
Of course you can try and close them via written, but I would also practise speaking; As long as you can show them the value you will provide, your accent shouldn't matter.
Let me know if you have any other questions :)
Is Wordpress and elementor any good?
I personally haven't used it but I think so.
I personally use: webflow.grsm.io/3rkd99edv1qd
Hi patrick i love to be web designer but i am not good in design and not a creative person
One question I would ask myself is, why do you want to become a web designer then?
I do not see how any of these tips can help you land your first client aside from the networking part.
Fair enough!
For me these were all points that I should have done in order to speed up the process of setting up my business and landing my first client.
If that makes sense :)
