WordPress web design for small businesses
Julian Kingman is a GetApp community member who left a review for ActiveCampaign and is now joining us on this episode of our podcast. Julian is a web designer and developer who uses WordPress to help small businesses reach their goals.
How to get more clients
Julian offers up these tip, based on his experience in getting more customers to his freelance studio, Design Man Can:
- Practice work ethics that will deliver results and get word of mouth referrals.
- Create profiles on TaskRabbit and Craigslist to get discovered by new clients.
- Network with your local community through Meetup.com.
How to keep clients happy
Julian points out that a big part of his work was dedicated initially to discovering the real reason his clients need websites. In the podcast he explains how he uses Evernote to keep track of conversations and client needs/ideas/feedback, and Trello as a multitasking project management tool (CRM, project management and lead pipeline).
How to power-up WordPress for added functionality
Solving design and functionality issues is crucial to keeping his customers happy and referring him to their friends. Julian recommends Pageline CMS for drag and drop custom theme creation, and Piklist to build web apps with WordPress.
Why Julian loves ActiveCampaign for sales automation
What initially brought Julian to GetApp was his desire to express how much of a fan he and his client were of ActiveCampaign for sales automation. It was so much so that he left a review and now recommends it because Marketo was too pricey. The single thing Julian loves most about ActiveCampaign is the ability to track user behavior onsite to then send automatic and hyper-relevant promotional messages based on what they did/saw on site.
