I'm 15 and sell $2,000 websites to local businesses. Here's what's working.
I just closed my first $2,000 website deal, so here's what I've learned so far selling to local businesses in Franklin, TN:
- Show, don't pitch. I offer a free mockup in 48 hours. Owners can't judge a proposal, but they can judge their own business on a phone.
- Put a price on the site. $2,000 flat, right on the homepage. Small-business owners hate "contact us for pricing".
- Find a real problem first. Before contacting anyone I check their current site: broken buttons, a 2018 copyright, no way to book or order. One specific detail beats any general pitch.
- Walk in. Storefronts are easier in person than by email. Go at 2–4pm, never at lunch.
What's worked for you to land your first few clients?

My strategy is that I build them a customized website before pitching my prices to them so they can see what it would look like right off the bat. Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for your insight!
This is awesome, I will give it a try
