My Website Audit for James Barnard (and how to offer your OWN paid website audit)

[@barnardco]

Thanks so much for this Josh! I knew there were problems with the site, but like any 'portfolio' piece, I've tweaked and added to this so much over the years that it became a bit of a mess. It's still a work in progress, but I can't wait to see the results. I'll keep you posted. 👍

Pumped to track traffic and conversions over the next few months @barnardco!

I'm a big fan of you, James. May I give you some feedback from the perspective of a recent potential client of yours? Referring to time 7:58, I think it would be much more effective and conversion-optimized if you showed 3 tiers to select from, either in the form or somewhere else on the website. Each tier should explain what's included in it. We do this all the time in website design pricing. This way, each tier's price is justified and you can prevent low-budget people from wasting your time and their time... I noticed the same problem on U.K. logo designer Will Paterson's website after I visited your site a week ago.

Thank you for this 👏

This video is very timely. Lol. I contacted James last week because his website did not have pricing. He had to inform me in an email that his logo designs start at $6,000. Yikes 😬He was kind enough to refer me to his skilled students, though. 😊🙏🏻

[@JoshHallco]

Yikes is right! Only 6k for his award-winning greatness?!?

[@derekshort]

@ At that price, I hope it's a logo design and branding.

[@sergio_grez]

@@derekshort 6K for a logo and brand made by an experienced and award winning designer is actually pretty cheap.

[@derekshort]

@ Good to know 😊👍🏻 I think great designers in general need to educate people better so that people such as myself understand....or they should at least have pricing on their website to prevent “sticker shock.” ... In addition, a logo design and branding together does justify the price better.
