You should definitely contact them. After a couple of clients the referrals will start pouring in!

Rainie, I am not a trained designer, yet I have a successful design business that is about 1 1/2 years old. In April of 2007, I started out creating and installing only headers because that was all I knew how to do. My description was “Custom headers at affordable prices.”

If you visit my site, you will see that the tag line is now “Custom website and blog designs at affordable prices.” Along the way, I have learned CSS, HTML, some PHP, and too much more to list. Now I am offering custom and premade blog designs, custom and premade business/blog/Mommy cards, and custom website creation and redesign services. My business has a reputation for excellent customer service and high quality work, and people are ordering.

I said all that to let you know that I think you should pursue your idea. You can learn as you go; I certainly have, and I suspect everyone does. Don’t be afraid to take on something new; there are all kinds of resources available on the Internet if you happen to get stuck.

Because you want to create a budget website setup business, I would recommend your reading a book I recently borrowed from my local library – Web Design on a Shoestring by Carrie Bickner. This book tells you how to offer the greatest quality for the lowest price.

I’d be happy to share with you tips and advice gleaned from my experiences. If you are interested, you can contact me through admin at designsbyrs dot com. I wish you well!

Thanks for the feedback, Bob. My plan is to find local businesses that do not have an online presence and go ask them why they don’t. If their reasons are the same as the ones my husband had, then I’ll know I’m on the right path. If not, then I’ll have a lot of extra free time! :p

It is very difficult to break into this business if you don’t know how to design a website. There just are so many things that you will encounter. However, having said that, we offer design services but I’m not a designer. That’s where you will need an employee or a subcontractor.

Good luck!
