Selling your own time and skill.
WHAT THE SITE MUST DO
Show your work Say what you do and who you do it for Make contacting you easy
It does not need to be elaborate. Four or five pages.
WHAT BUILDS CREDIBILITY
Examples of actual work Named testimonials A real photograph of you A clear description of how you work
PRICING
Publish rates or ranges where you can. Enquiries from people who cannot afford you waste both parties' time.
TAKING PAYMENT
Payment links from your gateway for deposits and invoices. A full shop is unnecessary.
Deposit before work, balance on completion, is standard and reasonable.
SEPARATING BUSINESS AND PERSONAL
Business email on your own domain, not a personal Gmail address. It costs nothing with hosting and changes how you are perceived.
A business bank account, separate from personal.
REGISTRATION
Whether to register formally depends on your circumstances. Our support team can advise on business registration if you decide to.
THE SIMPLEST START
A domain, hosting, email and five pages. Live in a weekend.
