How to Get More Web Design Work for Your Freelance Web Design Business

If you're a freelance web designer, you know how important it is to find new clients.

Your pay depends on you being a go-getter and finding someone who will hire you to complete a web designing project.

That's why learning how to get more web design work as a freelancer is key!

Whether you're looking for a full-time job designing and maintaining a site, or just designing the site and moving on to another project, you need to know where to find your ideal clients.

1. Create Your Own Website

The first thing any prospective client will want to see is the type of work that you can produce for them. This is where a well done personal website will come in handy – both as a portfolio and as a sales page that can win them over and pitch your services.

Include information about your skills and a portfolio showcasing all your projects. Be sure to list your contact information so that people can inquire about services and price list of your services. It is important that you and the client have reliable line of contact, so if a concern arises, it can be discussed and handled quickly.

2. Join Social Media Groups with Your Ideal Clients

Let's face it, social media is where most of us spend a majority of our days online. Social media is a great way to connect with people who might want a personal website or are in immediate need of a professional site.

Social media groups allows you to reach people all over the world in a matter of minutes — and some of these people just might want to hire you for their next web design project! You just have to learn how to balance being helpful, and letting people know that you're available to take on new projects.

I don't have to tell you that professionalism goes a long way online and social media is no different. Be yourself, but remember that you're representing your business, too.

3. Visit Local Businesses

Many local businesses need someone to design a website for them, but never get around to it. This is the perfect opportunity for you to show off your skills while taking their business online.

In my early teens, I helped a local granite countertop company design their very first website… I even went so far as to put pieces of granite on my personal home scanner – so they could have samples to show on their site.

You can start by researching local businesses in the yellow pages or other online directories, and noticing which ones have websites and which ones don't. You might notice some sites that are out dated or could use a few tweaks.

Then it's simply a matter of showing up in person or calling ahead to set up an appointment. Tell them who you are and what you can do for their business with a website.

If your services are needed, be sure to schedule an appointment and take along your portfolio to the meeting.

4. Reach Out To Your Network and Ask For Referrals

If you're just getting started you might reach out to friends or family members who are planning a big event, like a wedding or a family reunion, to ask them about creating a special website for their occasion. It's a great way to showcase your work and hopefully pique the interest of other people who might need the same services.

But the real benefit of your network is that people always know someone who is looking for a website. When you're wondering how to get more web design work, there's no better way to get a gig than to ask for referrals.

It's especially useful to reach out to past clients (especially ones you LOVED working with!) to let them know that you've got some availability in your schedule.

Then make sure to treat these referrals like gold, and follow up with the person who sent them your way… to let them know that you're taking great care of their friend or referral.

5. Pitch Yourself to Ideal Customers

I still remember a few years ago when I got a cold email from someone who thought I could do much better with my video production. The email was friendly, it gave me some ideas for improving my web presence, and it also included a way for me to get in touch about discussing working together on my videography.

The same thing works for getting more web design clients! If you find someone you'd LOVE to work with, you can craft a thoughtful and gentle pitch to send their way and woo them into working with you.

Be sure that your pitch includes ideas on how your web designing skills will benefit and help improve their business. Point out how you can help them resolve issues, meet goals and deadlines.

6. Internet Job Boards

I can't say that internet job boards have ever worked for me, but there are certainly benefits to checking in on these sites every now and then. Many of these jobs will require that you bid on the project that you want to do.

Some boards will allow you to see other people who have put in a bid on the job and their asking rate. You can then decide whether or not to bid as well. Some clients will often look for the freelancer with the lowest rate rather than who might be better qualified for the job.

Always be sure to have your portfolio ready to present with all the jobs that you have done in the past.

7. Be Present On Freelancer Websites

Register on freelance websites. These sites will allow you to create a profile and list your skills and a link to your portfolio. People can then view your profile and reach out to you to hire you for a job.

You might also get a chance to work on a team with others who are looking for a person with a certain designing niche skill. For many people, this is a great opportunity that can often lead to working with the same team on other projects for clients. Working on a team assignment is also a great way to acquire new skills and work with others who might can help point you in the direction of other big job opportunities.

8. Reach Out On Web Designer Forums

Web designer forums are a great start to locate people in the same field. You can find people who need help on certain projects or who might want to hire someone to do a specific job.

If you have a specialty niche, such as coding, working with WordPress, or graphic design, it will not take long for someone to come along who needs your assistance.

Many of these sites will allow you to post a link to your webpage. However, many of these forums also have strict rules about spamming and advertising for business. Be sure to read their posting rules and guidelines.

9. Check Local Listings

Local businesses have always used newspapers as a form of connecting with the public. Check your local newspaper's classified section, either in print or online.

Not all small businesses have websites to post their need to hire someone, so most of these companies still use the traditional way. However, you can help take these small businesses into the digital era by helping them create a website, which might eventually lead to other jobs in your local area.

10. Leave Business Cards Behind

Find billboards in grocery stores, libraries, and small businesses to leave your business card posted. The hope is that someone who needs your services will come along, see your card, and inquire about your skills.

As a freelancer you have to do everything you can to be seen; if you don't, there is always someone else who will. Plus, one chance encounter could lead to a big client who might refer you to a dozen more amazing clients.

11. Join Professional Groups & Attend Events

Networking is one of the best ways to meet professional people in your niche and hopefully snag jobs. There is always someone who knows someone who needs some type of service.

If you're not sure what types of events to attend, you'll want to look at local Word Campor PodCamp conferences, and branch out from there. You don't want to spend all your time with other freelance developers, but meeting some of these folks will help you to see what they're doing to get clients, too.

12. Become an Access Ally Certified Partner

If you're serious about getting more web design clients, you might consider becoming an Access Ally Certified Partner. We only partner with experienced professionals with a track record, but once you become a partner you can expect a steady flow of potential clients coming your way.

Plus, you get additional support and training to grow your freelance web design business into an agency if that's something that appeals to you. Or you can stay in the solo business model, and continue to refine who you want to work with and grow by adding leveraged services and products that aren't a direct exchange of time and money.

Over to You Now…

There are many opportunities when it comes to getting the work that you need as a website designer. As a freelancer and small business owner, you have to be willing to put the effort into finding new clients, and sometimes this means stepping outside your comfort zone.

However, once you do land your ideal clients, you will be happy that you gave your all into making your dreams come true.

Why graphic design?

Over the last 5 to 10 years technology has bought us to a stage where we are rapidly disconnecting with previously established ‘died in the wool’ ways of doing things and entering a realm where new ideas, ideals and formats proliferate and nothing replaces anything. You simply get more. Everything is fracturing all over the place — in politics, entertainment, the media… even in the creative industries. Particularly in Graphic Design.

Graphic Design might seem like a relatively young industry compared to say, banking or carpentry or whatever but it’s also become heavily reliant on technology and technology changes so rapidly these days that all constantly had to play catch up. Sure, there’s a massive dollop of craft involved but it was only a decade and a half ago that us designers were first discovering the Apple Mac and what it was capable of and now you look around and it seems frightfully easy for anyone to pick up a computer and start designing things for themselves. In many aspects, talent has become subservient to technology.

On the plus side this has freed up designers to expand upon their individual areas of interest.

Rick Poynor recently visited Melbourne to deliver a presentation on the subject of ‘Design Thinking’ and the need for designers to reconnect with an audience beyond ‘the client’. In many ways this fractured landscape offers opportunities for creatives to do this more effectively than ever before. This could mean that Graphic Design will need to become a part of the thing and not the thing itself.

In his book ‘Graphic Design: A User’s Manual’, Adrian Shaughnessy mentions that designers wear many hats from account handlers to debt collectors and more. Add to this curators, event organisers, illustrators, photographers, archivists, art directors, media commentators… The list now seems to go on and on and on. Look at creative agencies such as YCN or young creatives such as Kate Moross and our humble hosts its Nice That. They may be able to produce Graphic Design of an appropriately high calibre but that’s only really one segment of their kit of parts.

In a world growing steadily more interested in marketing, branding, crowdsourcing, ‘design thinking’, cheap typography and D.I.Y. solutions, many creative are finding/will find themselves morphing to new, multi-faceted roles. The role of Graphic Design may lose some prominence. Graphic Design may become more of a ‘boutique service’ offered to select clients rather than the all-encompassing visual glue it how been touted as for decades. One thing is for sure, it ain’t disappearing anytime soon though we might have to start question exactly what our relationship to Graphic Design is really about.

Well that’s my attempt at looking into the crystal ball. I dunno. Have I just spouted a pile of rubbish? What do you reckon the future holds for Graphic Design?

Michael Bojkowski is a designer and design commentator with a particular interest in editorial design. He has worked with clients as diverse as YCN, The Future Laboratory and Nick Bell Design. Michael also maintains the Linefeed blog (formerly known as Boicozine), runs his own experimental publishing venture known as Press Publish and currently writes for both Grafik and Gym Class magazines. Currently on sabbatical in Melbourne, Australia, he hopes to return to the U.K. sometime next year. 

The definition of the designer is becoming blurred. The accessibility of technology now means that anyone with a computer and the correct software can become a designer. This has both negative and positive effects: On one hand, poorly-considered, non-disciplined design is now being allowed to flow through into the public consciousness. On the other hand, we are seeing new, forward thinking, unrestricted creative thinking from those who are not restrained by traditional formalities.

It is my belief that craft allows technology to be exploited effectively. Therefore, the continuation of taught craft in our academic institutions is essential to sustaining graphic design as a profession.

I am a graphic design student at Central Saint Martins and this is something which I am very passionate about – so much so that I have chosen to write my dissertation on it.

the true profession of GD will continue to be valued by a few, and an even smaller paying few, but, as always judged by all. I personally love it, live it and breath it :)  As you do, strongly believe it will continue to evolve and grow (with technology). The art-form of GD will always remain independent from branding, art direction, crowdsourcing, strategy and so on. Though it is often bundled with these by the multi-faceted designers/studios you mention in your article—of which I confess, I am… yep that’s right. Balancing making a living with living, running a studio, and desperately trying to staying creative from client to client. It just aint easy, but loads of fun. Thanks for the midnight read. Catch you soon

Throughout my time this year and taking the time to breathe in how I’ve wanted to approach my own projects, I realise that this definition of Graphic Design cannot be so simplified to mean an approach to offering a service or a design solution with a relatively straight-forward outcome. Is Graphic Design purely just about its sum of parts containing imagery, photography, text and typography? We are still reading how great and grandeur the past of the legacy of Graphic Design is great. But I believe it should be savoir faire then being so nostalgic. I’m interested in the now, the daily life we live in now and what we can do. I also realise that why should we keep discussing this essential design area as a facet of its own. In some ways, peering through it makes it look like a ingenue and not as sophisticated as Industrial or Product Design. I think Graphic Design can be more relevant today, making it a part of my life as with everyone else but seeing it in a global context and that it can have and sustain a working relationship with other areas of design and non-design. Contemporary Fashion is made me see Graphic Design with purpose and has informed me much more.

Have you guys ever noticed that there is no more the figure of the “great graphic designer”? And that, at the same time, graphic design is everywhere? I think that graphic design in turning into something like a commodity. So, to claim back the position of the individual graphic designer would be just the same to claim back the position of, say, the “oil driller” or the “commercial jet pilot” individuals – even considering their important roles in the society. We’re not specials anymore – we’ve become an ordinary gear in the economy machine, where theoretical idealisms are worthless and vain. So, you guys would better stop complaining, getting to work, doing your jobs, making it worthy. And joining – and enjoying – the real struggle of the free economy.

The course is divided into three main parts: Introduction of Docker, Docker Compose, and Selenium Grid with Docker.

 The three sections are independent of each other and you can learn than in parallel or switch back and forth.

   3. Docker for Beginners

 This is one of the best sources to learn the big picture of Docker and containerization. If you know a little bit about virtualization, networking, and cloud computing, then you can join this course.

 It provides a good introduction to current software development trend and what problems Docker solves.

In short, this is a good course for Software and IT architects, Programmers, IT administrator and anyone who want to understand the role of Docker in current world application development.

4. Containers 101

 Docker and containers are a whole new way of developing and delivering applications and IT infrastructure.

In short, a good course for anyone who wants to get up to speed with containers and Docker.

 5. Docker Swarm: Native Docker Clustering

 Managing Docker at scale is the next challenge facing IT. This course, Docker Swarm: Native Docker Clustering will teach you everything you need to know about Docker Swarm, the native solution for managing Docker environments at scale.

 It’s a good course for Developers, Networking Teams, DevOps Engineers, and Networking infrastructure teams.

This was a paid course earlier on Udemy, but it’s free for a limited time. Join this course before it becomes paid again.

6. Docker Course Made for Developers

 Whether or not you’re a Developer, anyone who works with code or servers will boost their productivity with Docker’s open app-building platform.

 In this course, you will learn how to use the Docker products, like Docker Toolbox, Docker Client, Docker Machine, Docker Compose, Kinematic, and Docker Cloud.

You will also learn how to work with images and containers, how to get your project running, and how to push it to the cloud, among other important lessons.

7. Docker on Windows 10 and Server 2016

 If you are thinking to learn how to use Docker on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 then this is the right course for you.

 In this course, you will understand what Docker On Windows is all about and how Docker on Windows is the same as Linux Containers.

You will also learn Hyper-V, namespace isolation and server containers in depth.

8. Deploying Containerized Applications Technical Overview

 Docker has become the de facto standard for defining and running containers in the Linux operating system. Kubernetes is Red Hat’s choice for container orchestration.

 OpenShift, built upon Docker, Kubernetes, and other open source software projects, provides Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for the ultimate in deploying applications within containers.

This is an Official Red Hat course about containers using Docker running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

In this course, Jim Rigsbee, a curriculum architect for Red Hat Training, will introduce you to container technology using Docker running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

 9. Docker Deep Dive

 As the title suggests this is a great course to learn Docker in depth. It provides a good experience for core Docker technologies, including the Docker Engine, Images, Containers, Registries, Networking, Storage, and more.

 You will also learn theory and all concepts are clearly demonstrated on the command line.

And the best part of this course is that no prior knowledge of Docker or Linux is required.

10. Docker and Containers

 In this course, you’ll learn how this is going to impact you as an individual as well as the teams and organizations you work for.

This course will cover Docker and containers, container registries, container orchestration, whether this stuff is for the enterprise, and how to prepare yourself for it.

 These two courses from Pluralsight are not really free; you need a Pluarlsight membership to get this course, and monthly membership costs around $29 and annual membership cost around $299.

 I know, we all love free stuff, but you will not only get access to this course but over 5000 courses as well, so it’s definitely the money well spent.

I have an annual membership because I have to learn a lot of new stuff all the times. Even if you are not a member, you can get this course for free by signing a free trial. Pluralsight provides 10-day free trial with no obligation.

That’s all about some of the free Docker container courses for Java developers. It’s one of the essential skill if you are developing a mobile application or web application hence, I suggest every application developer learn Docker in 2019. You will not only learn an essential skill but also take your career to the next level, given the high demand for Docker specialist and developer who knows Docker.
