Your Commercial Offer

Title: One-Page Digital Brochure

Target Buyer: Local service business owners lacking a clear online presence

Problem: Customers cannot easily find crucial information like hours, services, or contact details

Deliverable: A fully functional, mobile-optimized one-page website

Scope Boundaries: We build the structure and design, but the client must provide and approve the final factual text., We use simple builders (Carrd/Canva) rather than custom WordPress development., We do not provide ongoing daily content updates or SEO guarantees., Domain registration costs are handled directly by the client.

Pricing Guidance

Pricing depends on scope. EarnWise is still validating representative market pricing for this opportunity.

Outreach Strategy

Target: Local neighborhood businesses (tutors, mechanics, salons) with active social media but no website link.

Channel: Direct message via Instagram/Facebook or WhatsApp.

Follow-Up Limit: 1

Sequence:
  1. Identify a business lacking clear online information.
  2. Build a custom mockup using their public details.
  3. Send the friendly outreach template with the link.
  4. Follow up once gently if they read it but do not reply.

Outreach Template

Hi [Name], I noticed your tuition centre helps a lot of local students, but parents might have trouble finding your latest batch timings online. I built a quick, mobile-friendly draft showing how a simple digital brochure could organize your schedule and let parents message you directly: [Link]. Having your basic information easily accessible can save you time answering repetitive questions. I'd be happy to discuss how we could adapt this for your exact classes.

Objections & Replies

  • Objection: We already use Facebook and Instagram.

    Response: Social media is fantastic for daily updates. A one-page website acts as a permanent, organized menu where new customers can instantly find your hours and pricing without scrolling through old posts.

  • Objection: We already have a website.

    Response: Understood. If you ever find your current site hard to update or slow on mobile phones, I specialize in lightweight, mobile-first pages.

  • Objection: I don't want monthly hosting costs.

    Response: We can build this on platforms that offer completely free hosting for simple pages, so you only pay for the initial design work.

  • Objection: Who will update the website later?

    Response: The tools I use are incredibly simple. I will show you exactly how to log in and change a price or schedule yourself. If you prefer, we can discuss a small fee for me to handle future updates.

  • Objection: Can I use my own domain name (like .com)?

    Response: Absolutely. If you own a domain, I will help connect it. If not, we can launch on a free link first to see how you like it.

  • Objection: What information do you need from me?

    Response: I just need your official list of services, pricing, any specific photos you want to use, and a few minutes to confirm the exact wording. I'll handle all the assembly.

  • Objection: What if we don't like the first version?

    Response: We will agree on the general layout before I start building, and my service includes one round of revisions to ensure you are happy with the final result.

  • Objection: How long will it take?

    Response: Once you provide the photos and text, I can usually have the first draft ready for your review in a few days. The final launch depends on how quickly we complete your revisions.

  • Objection: Who owns the site?

    Response: You do. Upon final payment, I transfer the website account entirely to your email address.

Turnaround Time

Turnaround depends heavily on the client providing photos and confirming their business details. Once you have all the approved text and images, a simple one-page site can usually be assembled, checked for mobile usability, and handed over quite rapidly. Always set a delivery date only after receiving the final assets.

Tracker Guidance: Record the business name, contact method, the specific problem you identified, the mockup link sent, whether they replied, and follow-up dates.

Delivery & Fulfillment Mechanics

  1. Agreement & Scope: Confirm exactly what sections the page will have (e.g., About, Services, Contact), agree on the price, and clarify that the client pays for any custom domain registration.
  2. Asset Collection: Ask the client for their logo, photos, and exact service details. Do not start building until you have these.
  3. Security & Access: If the client already has a domain provider (like GoDaddy), use delegated access. Never ask clients to send their passwords over email or chat.
  4. Build First Draft: Assemble the site in your chosen visual builder using the provided assets and approved text.
  5. Mobile Check: Thoroughly test the draft on your phone to ensure images fit and text is readable.
  6. Factual Verification: Double-check all prices, phone numbers, and addresses against the client's original notes.
  7. Client Review: Send the draft link to the client for feedback.
  8. Revisions: Make the requested changes (e.g., swapping a photo or fixing a typo) within the agreed scope.
  9. Testing: Click every button and submit every form yourself on a phone and a laptop to ensure they route correctly.
  10. Handover & Launch: Transfer ownership of the site account to the client's email address and connect their domain.
  11. Closure: Collect final payment, ensure they know how to log in safely, and ask if they are happy to provide a brief testimonial.
Supplementary Methodology & Evidence
Methodology & Evidence: Setting clear boundaries (like separating copywriting from design and defining revision limits) is critical for freelance web delivery. Unscoped revisions are the primary cause of unprofitable projects. Security guidance reflects modern web standards; sharing root passwords is an unacceptable security risk.
