Hey everyone, im currently grinding to get my web dev and social media management startup, but Im hitting a massive wall trying to land my first few clients. I’ve been targeting small biz owners with really low pricing to build my portfolio, offering a mix of site builds and automated social tracking so they don't have to spend all day on their phones yet I’m still getting nowhere. For those of you who actually scaled a service business, where did you find those first few non friend or non family clients and is my low pricing actually backfiring by looking "cheap" instead of helpful?

I build simple, high-performance landing pages designed to convert for small businesses and creatives.

I don’t use WordPress or page builders. Everything is hand-coded with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so the pages are lightweight, fast, and easy to maintain or scale later.

Here’s what I typically deliver:
• Messaging and headlines tailored to your audience
• Clean, intentional sections for services, credibility, and action
• WhatsApp or booking form integrations
• Mobile-first layouts with fast load times
• Well-structured code that’s backend-ready

This works especially well for coaches, freelancers, photographers, and small business owners who want a page that does more than just look good.

Pricing range:
$90–$250, depending on what you need and how complex the page is.

Turnaround is usually 3–7 days.

Will this boost my business or will this just be a waste of time and resources?
