Learn to get paid your ideal hourly rate to review client websites and provide valuable and actionable advice. This is my favorite way for web designers to generate quick cash injections with their expertise.
Imagine this:
Signing a new client this month, without getting on a single sales call
Getting paid your ideal hourly rate, without using discounts to get to a âyesâ
Finally working with loyal retainer clients, whoâll stay with you month after month
You can make all this happen by offering website audits.
Website auditsâŚ
Require very little effort. Youâre probably already auditing other peopleâs websites without even thinking about it!
Let you get paid to do market research. Every client sheds light on how your audience thinks about their websites, tech stack, and marketing.
Make it easier for people to give you money. You can sell these over emails and DMs without getting on a single sales call.
Turn lurkers into first-time customers. Almost everyone whoâs DIY-ed their website can get a huge ROI from getting an expertâs fresh eyes on their website. Plus, once theyâve worked with you, it becomes easier for them to work with you again!
Does this sound like just the thing you need to get new clients and get paid this month?
Then join me for my Website Audit Masterclass.
What to cover in your website audit
There are so many elements that work together to create a website that converts â what do you review and what do you skip? Iâll share the thinking process behind how I choose what to cover, so you can create a package that actually gives your clients what they want and need.
How to audit a website quickly using my simple spreadsheet
Having a repeatable process that works every time is key to making website audits an easy and efficient way to make money. Youâll get a copy of the spreadsheet that I use so you can adapt it for your business and get started right away.
How to prep and deliver the website audit results to your client
Most of us learn best through real examples, so Iâm going to show you one, Iâm bringing my friend and client, Ashley Mondor, so you can see a real, unrehearsed demo of a website audit delivery call during the masterclass.
How to start selling your website audit package
One of the most challenging skills to learn as a new freelancer is promoting and selling your services, and finding clients who want to give you money. Iâll share whatâs helped me get better at sales, and go from side hustle to self-employed in 12 months.
But most importantlyâŚ
Youâll learn how to get over your fear of never making enough money as a web designer and finally have a fun and easy process you can repeat whenever you want a quick cash injection.

Hey, in case we havenât met, my name is Danbee. Iâm a web design mentor, and I help my clients build a profitable and inclusive web design business without overworking. I started my business as a freelance web designer in 2019.
One of my favorite things about being a freelance web designer was that I could be picky about which clients I said âyesâ to. This became easier once I started getting booked out 4 to 5 weeks in advance.
But when I was just starting out, my business was a side hustle, and I didnât even know what kinds of clients I wanted to work with. I spent a lot of time doing market research interviews, trying to figure it all out.
In return for their time, I offered each interviewee a free website audit. It was super fun and easy to critique their website and offer recommendations for improving conversion rates.
Every single person said they found it âincredibly helpfulâ and that theyâd have paid for an audit like this.
So I started charging for it!
This is how I got most of my clients in my first year as a freelance web designer. Making money every month (even if just a little!) felt so exciting and motivated me to keep going.
Website audits quickly led to larger projects and long-term clients. Even after my full web design package became my most popular service, I continued to use website audits whenever I needed to bring in quick cash for my business in a fun and easy way.
You can totally do this, too. I want to show you how to do it in a way that requires low effort but delivers punchy results.
