04 / THE BUSINESS MODEL

From opportunity to a working plan.

Get specific about the buyer,
the offer and the work.

What you sell

A scoped website improvement plus optional ongoing care.

Who pays

Business owners with a real communication, booking or inquiry problem.

How you get customers

Specific audits, local relationships, direct outreach and referrals.

How revenue works

Project fees and monthly maintenance with defined scope. Illustrative prices are not market guarantees.

Expenses to plan for

  • Website platform and hosting
  • Licensed images and integrations
  • Support, testing and revisions

What to learn

  • Accessible mobile design and clear copy
  • Forms, booking, privacy and analytics
  • Scoping, handover and maintenance

Outsource / automate

  • Specialized integrations or copy review
  • Routine updates with approval

Common mistakes

  • Selling a tool instead of a business outcome
  • Undefined maintenance and revision scope
  • Launching without testing forms and mobile navigation

Your first five steps

  1. 01

    Choose one business type and talk to owners.

  2. 02

    Audit an actual customer journey.

  3. 03

    Build a labeled demonstration of the improvement.

  4. 04

    Quote a tightly defined project and care plan.

  5. 05

    Test, hand over and document ownership and access.

05 / KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

The risks are part of the plan.

Commoditized builds

No-code builders lower the barrier. Differentiate with business understanding, reliable integrations and support.

Scope and ongoing care

Unbounded revisions, broken integrations and unclear ownership can erase margin.

Privacy and accessibility

Handle forms, consent and customer data responsibly; professional advice may be required.
