Web design clients want to know who they’re going to work with when they’re looking for a web designer.
One of the best ways you can make a great first impression and not lose potential qualified leads off of your website is by adding a “founders note” to the homepage of your website!
You can format this in many ways but in short, it’ll help put some personality on your website and showcase “who’s behind the business” which helps potential clients trust you way more than a web designer agency site where it’s not clear if they are a solo freelancer or a big agency with 30 employees.
In this video, I’ll show you some real-world examples and share how to craft the perfect founder’s note of your own.
