can you do a video explaining how to transfer the website to the client and can you tell us some tips to have more clients

[@sinatraforeign]

make videos on KZbin to show your understanding of web designing

[@somtogodwin3655]

Check the video she recommended about the Web design SOP, she did a detailed work at explaining how it works. It has something to do with sending a remix link for your client to download on their framer account (a paid account precisely)

[@arunk2710]

Each project has a unique remix link. Send it to your client and they'll duplicate the project.

[@Jo-yi6fm]

Your content is pure gold. Thank you very much!

[@techfixer1543]

Another "Spot On" vid Anna! I agree with you in that templates are a great starting point-- and "Framer" has many many of them. Just last night I was tweaking the color elements to convey a sense of flow to a website I'm designing. Also, I like that Framer has an invite link for others to view. I'm going through Framer's tutorials-- a lot of good discoveries overall. Your vidz really inspire and the resources you mentioned really does Spark ideas for me! So high five to you Anna✋! My ears find your voice to be a natural balance of "calm and action" and when you use the word "icky" it makes me laugh because it's true!

[@Vhusi]

Another fantastic video. You convinced me to use the platform and I couldn't be happier

[@xyclos]

You are fantastic Anna! Thanks for sharing your expertise 👏👏👏🙏

[@BeverlyDiM]

Thank you Anna! Your templates and tutorials are game changers for my business. Really appreciate the quality and detail in your content.

[@goncalomarinheiro7052]

how do you build for you and your clients? separate accounts ? which plan you usually choose and you need a new account and plan for each client ?

[@blaze-smt]

Amazing content as always. I look forward to your videos

[@digital.raunak]

Gold as always

[@Nunyah94]

Amazing work!

[@TheProdisplay]

Awesome video!!

[@Grace-el1qq]

Thanks so much for this kind of videos! And overall your content. Please, if it’s possible, do a video about designing a website for a client in Webflow 😄🙌

[@siyabongamokwena6884]

Thank u for the content.

[@pranavps7604]

Clean steps 🥂

[@saifi_1.1.2]

I think I'm in love. 😩

[@okaytobi]

I'm intrigued by how you sell websites to clients, particularly business owners. It seems like you offer more than just the website itself. How do you persuade clients that the website alone holds significant value? Can you elaborate on that?

[@BigJonkulous]

I believe the value proposition comes down to lead generation (which means more sales). Anna talks about it in other videos.

[@yamix.brands]

you need to learn how a converting page works in order for them to get results & the sell only works if they see the value by you asking questions & figuring out if they have lack of sells. your goal is to help not to just sell a webdesign service, if you think you can help them with converting landing page/ Funnel / that's where you offer them a strategy session paid along with your service of you think you can help them based on the answers of what you got from the call ! if they are a local business you do the same & you upsell SEO or Google ADS to the client for a monthly retainer

[@okaytobi]

​@@BigJonkulous Got it. I think this is the kind of transparency that Anna and a lot of fellow web designers on KZbin are missing. As a business owner & designer myself, I’m not going to invest in a website or pay thousands a month without seeing real results it can generate for me. While Anna's content on TikTok and KZbin helps her attract clients, I think she is doing much more behind the scenes to sell and close deals with business owners. This level of transparency is what's missing in this video.

[@bak3s]

@@okaytobi Yep, it's a common theme among these designers who make "over 1M a year", they'll tell you the basics of starting but when it comes to locking down clients why tell everyone exactly how they do it? They'd be handing off their potential client pool to other designers and agencies if their strategy was advertised to millions on KZbin and other social media.

[@okaytobi]

​@@bak3s ahaha I completely agree; education on KZbin has turned into a cash grab since the launch of the KZbin Creator Program, which allows monetization once you surpass 1,000 subscribers. While I don't knock the hustle, I do miss the golden days of KZbin when you could learn without constantly being sold to.

[@MyOddTv]

Awesome video but just out of curiousity wy do you go from H1, 2, 3, 4, then 6? on your style system

[@ElizabethStirlingTaylor]

does framer integrate with something like hostinger?? loving your content :-)

[@pundiggity7777]

This was probably covered in some other comment section but, what is your take on using Framer to publish vs WordPress?

[@meli2960]

How did you set up the payment for the different services? I really like framer for design, but I have a hard time implementing functionality like payments, forms, user accounts, APIs. Do you think framer is in general better for “simpler“, more static sites?

[@kameraadthomas]

It's a paid promotional video.. Framer is half the thing Webflow/Plasmic is functionality wise.

[@brianthelion2776]

So by using Framer, how does your clients go in and update text or images themselves? Are you linking up some kind of CMS the customers can access?

[@llewellynvaneeden4467]

Framer has what we call a Remix link - this basically allows your client to receive the website that you have built and launch it in their Framer account. From there they can have full access to the website.

[@NateSwanni]

I’d imagine you would need to setup a CMS at the very least. Unfortunately Framer doesn’t have a simple ‘client edit’ mode like Webflow which makes it difficult to just hand sites off without some form of maintenance retainer - which the client doesn’t always want

[@Carl_Chell]

You to my ADHD brain seems like a systematically perfect robot.. are you even real? 😅 Ive only recently found you and you inspire me, so greatfull for you. I need to use better systems, also being autistic i crave routine but my adhd brain struggles with it. Id literally buy your notion setup!!

[@Mania26]

How to give this to your client? Whaat about hosting, costom domain, do i need desiging website to by client on his accout i made?

[@mblakepope]

Missing your videos, friend! Perhaps I’m being impatient. Sorry about that 😂

[@talhamustafa2337]

how much you have charged for this website?

[@princesymenouh2949]

Why you don't use Figma ?

[@jp7871]

Can you do a video for us that build our websites from scratch? Vanilla js, typescript, vue/react etc? Should we charge the same? How should we operate in terms of the whole client/omboarding process?

[@joeyreyes9666]

people like this don’t do code. so many of these people on youtube use stupid ass no code platforms 🤦‍♂️ which literally anyone can do

[@johnrake4]

She's doing traditional web design, you're talking about traditional web development. There just fundamentally different services as yours will involve tons of custom coding and framer isn't a coding platform. If your background is more development I would lean towards clients that need high levels of data customizations, integrations, analytics, etc. And yes, that should cost way more, which is also why it's hard to make work selling simple websites to local businesses in your area. It just won't be cost effective for your time unless you can get above the $10k+ range IMO

[@BigJonkulous]

@@joeyreyes9666 Even if "anybody" can do it, most people don't and/or don't want to. They are ready and willing to fork over the money so that the process can be handled by somebody else.

[@jp7871]

@johnrake4 Thank you for your input - Yeah, I mean sure I can make a template on any IDE of these types of websites and implement the individual functions + add the backend but like you said, would be more cost efficient finding more high end customers/businesses

[@jp7871]

@joeyreyes9666 haha yeah, i mean it's nice but for me as a fullstack dev i can't go no-code 😅

[@4ndjelo]

But why Framer if there is Webflow?

[@erenkahveci531]

Turkish subtitle pls😊

[@BenjaminD-rz9wi]

As a designer I wouldn't call this designing a website but rather building something quickly that probably converts but still looks like a mockup. Many people could DIY something like that. I would feel bad charging for this. No hate here, just an honest opinion.

[@jorgeconsulting]

Perhaps you’re underestimating how many people can/will do this on their own especially if they’re busy business owners

[@BenjaminD-rz9wi]

@@jorgeconsulting you could be right about that, good point.

[@Chr0noX91]

There's so more value in the copy than in the latest gimmicky design. For most clients you need a design that works, nothing more. If you're Nike, maybe you would spend some more dollar on fancy design. But for small brands, most users can't see great design any way. When I ask my clients what good design is to them I often get websites that look like relics from the 80s to me... But copy that sells is direct value to any business.

[@Chr0noX91]

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with trying to deliver ideal design and spend a lot of time perfecting it. You just need to decide whether you want to be an artist or a business man.

[@BenjaminD-rz9wi]

@@Chr0noX91 you can be both, no need to decide between the two.

[@BenjaminD-rz9wi]

Framer is great but still unbelievably buggy.

[@catianamunoz5655]

In what way?

[@framerwme]

False. If you're trying to emulate award winning animations, then perhaps you could be right. I have 4 clients on Framer, all 95+ score on Lightspeed. They all rank on Google's 1st position for multiple keywords. I get paid great money, my clients make more money, everyone is happy. Nobody cares about the tool, they care about the end-result. Framer is just a tool that 4x my ability to deliver websites more quickly.

[@Morton-cy8lb]

improve the video editing quality of the video because it will help you to grow fast on youtube

[@Mnuvq]

Are you a boy or a girl?😭 I'm really confused

[@thoseepiccommentsmedia5488]

Hybrid I guess ☠️

[@kayodedigital]

What does that have to do with the value in the video??

[@Mnuvq]

@@kayodedigital i admire his/her videos mate but it's just my personal question I wanted to ask, if you have any problem with it then keep it to yourself, cuz I asked her not you!😊

[@Sebastian-pj2ed]

Anna goes by she/her pronouns :)
