About this course

Quick cash injections for your web design business

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 “yes”
Finally working with loyal retainer clients, who’ll stay with you month after month

You can make all this happen by offering website audits.

“Website audits are a great way to reduce the friction of hiring a freelancer for our clients. This is a very smart marketing strategy.

This was a fantastic workshop, Danbee. The information you shared is super valuable and I liked the way you presented it.”

— Ran Segall

Founder of Flux Academy, Israel

Why website audits

Website audits are magic

Website audits…

Require very little effort. You’re probably already auditing other people’s 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 who’s DIY-ed their website can get a huge ROI from getting an expert’s fresh eyes on their website. Plus, once they’ve 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 we cover

In this masterclass, you’ll learn…

What to cover in your website audit

There are so many elements that work together to create a website that converts — what do you review and what do you skip? I’ll 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. You’ll 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 I’m going to show you one, I’m 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. I’ll share what’s helped me get better at sales, and go from side hustle to self-employed in 12 months.

But most importantly…

You’ll 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.

About Danbee

Who am I to teach you about making money with website audits?

Hey, in case we haven’t met, my name is Danbee. I’m 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 “yes” 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 didn’t 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 “incredibly helpful” and that they’d 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.

Who this is for

This course is perfect for you if you…

Want to get better at selling your services as a web designer
Like the idea of working with different kinds of clients without choosing a narrow niche
Feel curious about offering website audits but aren’t 100% sure what to include or how to tell paying clients that their websites are crappy, cringe, or cheesy
Want a fun and easy way to make quick money (i.e. this month instead of in 6 months) with your web design business whenever you want

On the other hand, you might want to skip this if you want to focus on high-ticket, done-for-you packages and do not want to sell smaller offers.

If you’re completely new to web design and haven’t yet built your first website, this might not be the best time for you to invest in this masterclass, either.
