Stop charging hourly for website design work!

Check out my new offer: https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/sparks-group-mentoring/ It’s a supportive group mentoring session for website designers and developers to bring their questions, roadblocks, ideas, and “is it just me?” moments.If you keep attracting bargain clients, it’s usually not because you need more leads.It’s because your pricing model is less than optimal... mostly because your brand signals are a bit muddled, and your website is not doing enough heavy lifting before someone ever speaks to you.Welcome to another episode of Websites Made Simple with me, Holly Christie.In this episode, I’m talking about why charging hourly for your web design projects is holding you back — from better clients, better income, and a calmer business.We get into:Why hourly pricing puts you in a race to the bottomHow project pricing builds confidence on both sidesWhy clients feel cheated when hourly quotes run overHow scope creep is easier to manage with project pricingWhat bundled pricing looks like in practiceHow to work with freelancers and white labellers without losing moneyWhy the clients who can't afford you aren't your peopleHow to quote higher and still win the workIf you want better clients, fewer arguments over invoices, and more peace of mind about your income, this one's for you.Come and find out more at https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk or email me at [email protected] to the good bits:00:00 Stop charging hourly — why it hurts your income01:09 Why everyone has an hourly rate (and why that's the problem)02:55 What project pricing actually looks like03:42 How project pricing helps you prioritise your work04:34 Scope creep and why hourly makes it worse05:48 Bundled pricing: what goes into a project quote07:23 Working with freelancers and white labellers09:44 If they can't afford you, they're not your people10:31 How project pricing creates better clients11:43 Sparks Group Mentoring and how to joinMentioned in this episode:Websites Made Simple CoursesRemember to sign up for our blogging masterclass!Go to https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/masterclassBlogging masterclassJoin my Sparks Group Mentoring Programme
