monday agency math quote 2 revision rounds, end up doing 5 on a $2k site that's most of your margin gone before launch lol do you charge for round 3 or just eat it?

php week is a good reminder of agency math the site you built in 2019 and got paid for once is still yours to patch at 11pm lol if half your client sites have no care plan you're basically on call for free what % of your sites actually pay you monthly?

idk if this is a hot take but the build fee is the worst part of running a web agency you get paid once, then the client emails you for 3 years lol the shops i see doing well treat the build as the way in and make the real money on the yearly plan. hosting, edits, the odd new page how many of your clients are actually on a monthly or yearly plan rn?

idk if this is obvious but agency margin is mostly hours per site $1500 for a site that took 3 weeks barely pays rent lol. same $1500 for a site you shipped in a day is a really good week everyone i talk to tries to fix it by raising prices first. the average readdy site goes from brief to published in under 30 min, which is why i keep thinking the hours are the bigger lever what's your real hours per site rn, revisions included?

someone replied to me last week, quoted $1500 for an info site and a form. mid build the client wanted payments and a more complex system. he got $500 more idk that's most agency math right there. the build is fine, the scope moving after the quote is what kills margin kinda why i like showing the client a live site early. the average readdy site goes from brief to published in under 30 min, so they react to the real thing before the quote is locked

had our first readdy event at the palo alto office this week, pretty fun shipped two things. cinematic sites, and a business agent that does the after launch stuff, seo, geo, google business profile setup the average readdy site goes from brief to published in under 30 min but a local biz doesn't care if nobody finds it on google. that's the part we're going after now

a designer told me a basic client site takes them a few days to build, even with no custom functionality say 3 days each. that's about 7 sites a month if nothing slips, and that's the ceiling on their income no matter how many leads come in the average readdy site goes from brief to published in under 30 minutes. at that point the ceiling is how many clients you can sell

agency money math for a freelancer selling $500 sites 4 a month is $2k 4 a week is about $8k 4 a day is about $40k the average readdy site goes from brief to published in under 30 minutes, so the build stops being the limit. finding 80 clients a month is the hard part now, which is the problem i'd rather have

Signal from agency owner Umut Topal: Businesses already running Meta ads but sending traffic to a weak—or missing—site. They’re investing in growth. The leak is after the click. Don’t pitch a redesign. Ask what happens next. Full talk: youtube.com/watch?v=Fb0SZNt5… #AgencyGrowth

I look at websites all day, but I want to see what people here are actually shipping. Built one recently? Drop the link and tell me who it’s for. I’ll pick 3 and share one thing I’d keep and one thing I’d change. #BuildInPublic #website #webdesign #websitedev

An agency feature can work perfectly for one client and still fail as an operating model. An agency owner told us this week that white-label wasn’t enough. The site-building part worked. The pain came from repeating the same steps for every client: invitations, access, and plan decisions. His request was reseller mode. That changed how I’m looking at agency features inside Readdy. The test is no longer: does this make one site easier? It’s: does this remove work every time the agency adds another client? We’re still deciding what to build. But the product boundary is much clearer now. Agency owners: which step becomes painful first as your client list grows? #AgencyGrowth #BuildInPublic
