How to get web design clients
Updated 18 October 2026
Short answer
Find local businesses whose website is missing, broken, slow or not mobile friendly, and contact them with the exact problem and a fixed-price fix. Focus on one niche, send 20–30 personal messages a day, and follow up twice.
1. Choose a niche with money and a visible problem
Dentists, clinics, lawyers, real estate agents and restaurants pay for websites and often have old ones. A niche lets you reuse your examples and your pitch.
2. Find websites with real problems
Look for no website, no HTTPS (“Not secure”), sites that don't fit a phone, slow homepages or no contact form. HuntClient checks these on every lead so you can see the problem before you write.
3. Write a short, specific message
Name the problem, say what it costs them (missed calls, lost bookings) and offer one fix with a price. Add a screenshot of the issue.
4. Use the channel they answer
Email from their own website for clinics and offices; phone or WhatsApp for restaurants, salons and trades.
5. Follow up and keep a pipeline
Many replies come after the first follow-up. Track every lead from New to Won so nobody is forgotten.
