1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:05,190
This is the website design demonstration portion of this module.

2
00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:13,080
Website design is another profitable freelance skill because not only can you charge for building a

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:21,090
website, but you can also charge monthly for managing, hosting, maintaining and optimizing a website,

4
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:26,190
which makes it an extremely profitable skill with huge demand.

5
00:00:27,030 --> 00:00:33,780
The reason that websites are in such high demand are because, number one, there are more people creating

6
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:38,550
businesses every single day and more brands being born every day.

7
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:46,950
And number two, because people need website redesigns and what a website redesign is, is when you

8
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:50,010
recreate a website for a business.

9
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:54,900
So you take their existing website and you build a more updated version of it.

10
00:00:55,740 --> 00:01:02,460
As technology continues to advance and as new platforms come out to build websites, it's very easy

11
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:04,590
to tell when a website is out of date.

12
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:10,560
Not only that, but there is also security enhancements as technology gets better.

13
00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:17,880
So all of these are ways you can help get business, because once you learn how amazing this platform

14
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,080
is, I'm about to show you.

15
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,640
It will change your idea on what building a website consists of.

16
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:29,210
And the platform I'm going to show you is called deuda, and you can get there by going to Duda Doc

17
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,070
Co-eds Duda Dot SEO.

18
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:34,860
It's also in the profitable tools and apps handout.

19
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:39,480
Just like all of the other websites and apps that I have been showing you.

20
00:01:40,410 --> 00:01:48,450
So Duda is a website builder that allows you to grow your freelance business by building websites that

21
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:50,760
are easy to build and quick.

22
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,520
The reason that they're easy to build and quick is because it all works off of widgets that you drag

23
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,160
and drop and create the website from.

24
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:06,420
On top of that, it starts with a template just like all of the other tools and websites I've been showing

25
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:06,630
you.

26
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:12,510
This is what separates an average tool from an amazing tool, and the amazing tools have templates that

27
00:02:12,510 --> 00:02:14,670
are already well designed by professionals.

28
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:17,340
And all you have to do is change logos.

29
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:19,490
Change the content and change the colors.

30
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,360
And you can create beautiful websites that you can sell for thousands of dollars.

31
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:27,730
Duda is also a very popular platform.

32
00:02:28,190 --> 00:02:34,840
They're approaching 16 million sites at the time of this recording and estimate that every 17 seconds

33
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,850
a new website is created on Duda.

34
00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:43,990
This is because people are looking for a platform that's easy to manage, and WordPress, quite frankly,

35
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:44,530
is not.

36
00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:52,180
You also have the ability to give your clients access to their site and as opposed to WordPress.

37
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,090
That's difficult for a client to figure out what to do.

38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,210
Duda is very simple, and after a simple training session, you can actually train your clients to make

39
00:03:01,210 --> 00:03:04,660
some small updates on their own without needing your help.

40
00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:10,060
Anything more advanced, they can get in touch with you, and you can easily build out any new pages

41
00:03:10,270 --> 00:03:11,650
or anything that they need.

42
00:03:12,310 --> 00:03:16,510
And now I want to get to the template portion of this demonstration.

43
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:20,020
Duda has two different ways you can view the templates.

44
00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:24,880
You can either look at the get inspired or the C templates portions.

45
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:31,300
The get inspired is pretty cool because you can look at some real websites and get some real inspiration.

46
00:03:31,510 --> 00:03:36,940
These are real websites and businesses that use Duda to manage and build their site.

47
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:44,200
You can scroll through and you can see all the different websites for each category, and you can get

48
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,890
a taste for what themes look like and what templates look like when they're built for real businesses.

49
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:55,500
Now, let's hop over to the actual template portion of the website.

50
00:03:56,130 --> 00:04:01,230
And once again, on the left, you can see all the different categories of templates.

51
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:04,500
And in the center and the right hand side of the screen.

52
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,000
That's where the templates load.

53
00:04:06,450 --> 00:04:11,790
And the cool part about Duda is they have all new themes every single month.

54
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:14,800
They keep uploading new themes, everything that says new.

55
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:16,590
I haven't even seen before.

56
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:20,460
They really are very on top of creating new themes all the time.

57
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:26,580
And just like with all of the other things I taught you, all of the other skills where you start with

58
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:28,470
the template that makes the most sense.

59
00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:30,550
That's the same thing you do on here.

60
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:33,600
So let's say you're building a website for a restaurant.

61
00:04:34,570 --> 00:04:40,030
You would click restaurant and you can start with themes that are literally built for restaurants.

62
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,150
You can also click Preview to see how the website functions on every device.

63
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,550
You can click through to desktop, tablet and even mobile.

64
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:57,770
You can see how the menus interact and how the overall site looks.

65
00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:06,370
Duda is very self intuitive, and you can get the hang of this very quickly.

66
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:13,000
If you start with the theme that makes the most sense for the potential client you're working on and

67
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,160
then you build it with copywriting, best practices and graphic design best practices.

68
00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:25,270
You can start to have really good success as well as bundle on a monthly management package.

69
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Now I'm going to log into my account so I can show you what the website editor looks like on the other

70
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,080
side.

71
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:39,380
So now I am logged in, let's say we want to build a website for a personal trainer.

72
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,210
All you have to do is click start building, that's right, sample site.

73
00:05:49,540 --> 00:05:54,880
And Duda will, in the blink of an eye, create the website that you just selected.

74
00:05:57,870 --> 00:05:58,500
From there.

75
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:06,030
Just like with active campaign, just like with Canva in everything I'm showing you, everything works

76
00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:09,000
from drag and drop editors in this day and age.

77
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:15,930
So you no longer need to be a coder or need to know any advanced skills to build beautiful websites

78
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:16,530
that sell.

79
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:24,180
All you have to do is work from an existing theme and you can edit everything else so you can highlight

80
00:06:24,180 --> 00:06:28,050
the text, you can edit it, you can delete any part of it if you want.

81
00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:33,760
And it's the same thing with everything else on the page, the photos, the times.

82
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:43,390
And what this allows you to do is build a beautiful looking website in minutes and what you can also

83
00:06:43,390 --> 00:06:43,790
do.

84
00:06:43,810 --> 00:06:51,760
And I love this feature that this website builder has is you can send the client a preview of the site.

85
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:53,860
So let me show you what that looks like now.

86
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:57,550
This is what the client would see.

87
00:06:57,910 --> 00:07:00,020
I have my agency logo here.

88
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,720
You can upload your own logo.

89
00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:08,260
Doesn't matter, but what it does is it allows you to send them a link with the website you already

90
00:07:08,260 --> 00:07:08,780
built out.

91
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:15,040
So you can either send them a template or you can send them a wire frame of how you think their website

92
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,490
should look.

93
00:07:15,790 --> 00:07:19,390
This is a great tool, so you can send this to clients.

94
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:25,570
They can see how their website would look on desktop, on tablet and on mobile.

95
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:30,790
As well as even down to the specific device type, which is pretty cool.

96
00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:36,810
This is a fully functioning version of each device type.

97
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:42,910
This is how you can start to separate yourself from the pack.

98
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:50,140
Not a lot of people are sending links where the client can already see what ideas you have in mind.

99
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:56,080
So always look at how you can use the tools that I'm showing you, and you can add your own personal

100
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,680
flavor to them and get the attention of potential clients.

101
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:03,220
And now let's hop back over to the deuda platform.

102
00:08:04,420 --> 00:08:09,940
Now that we're back on the deuda platform, I wanted to show you they also have all of these widgets

103
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:10,660
built in.

104
00:08:11,690 --> 00:08:15,230
This is where you would drag and drop anything over onto the website.

105
00:08:15,590 --> 00:08:18,080
And they also have something really cool called a section.

106
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,090
So if you hover over a row and you click on this blue add section sign.

107
00:08:24,110 --> 00:08:33,590
You can add in all different kind of sections, from intros to features to an about section all the

108
00:08:33,590 --> 00:08:40,310
way to different team images, specific restaurant sections and much, much more.

109
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:47,300
This allows you to also make updates on the fly and to build a beautifully designed website, even if

110
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,040
you don't have any experience.

111
00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:55,790
Now, once you know how to build a website, you need to know where you can find photos and icons to

112
00:08:55,790 --> 00:08:56,870
use on the website.

113
00:08:57,260 --> 00:09:02,750
So in the profitable tools and apps, I have a few of those suggestions that I'm going to walk you through

114
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:03,560
right now.

115
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:11,850
The first is unsplash.com and their tagline is photos for everyone where you don't necessarily need

116
00:09:11,850 --> 00:09:13,260
to attribute the author.

117
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:17,820
Now it is recommended, and it's very nice to give the author a shout out of the photo.

118
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:24,030
But what you're going to see and learn in freelancing is that there are some rules like you can't just

119
00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:25,410
steal someone else's photo.

120
00:09:25,710 --> 00:09:31,080
So when you go to a website that I show you like Unsplash, you don't have to worry about any of that

121
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,730
because these are all free and available for you to use for whatever you want.

122
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:39,150
Here you can search anything and it will come up.

123
00:09:39,150 --> 00:09:45,660
So if you're still building that website for a personal trainer, you can type in personal training

124
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,600
and it will show you some high quality images.

125
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:52,230
You can download and bring right onto the website.

126
00:09:55,330 --> 00:10:00,640
You can also click through and search by different tags, so if you want to look for, let's just say,

127
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,630
yoga images of personal training, you can get even more nailed down.

128
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:07,630
And this is how you can start to build websites.

129
00:10:08,050 --> 00:10:11,320
You know, the tools to use now you have the website builder.

130
00:10:11,470 --> 00:10:14,740
I'm showing you where you can get free, high resolution photos.

131
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:18,490
And the last thing you need now is the icons.

132
00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:22,710
And the website I use for icons is called flat icon.

133
00:10:23,070 --> 00:10:29,670
You can get there by going to a flat icon dot com, and you can see that they also have a bunch of icons

134
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:34,890
to offer, but they're not royalty free unless you have the premium plan, which I think is well worth

135
00:10:34,890 --> 00:10:38,250
it if you're doing any sort of design or any website design.

136
00:10:38,850 --> 00:10:43,530
These icons can be downloaded onto Canva or onto a website.

137
00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:45,900
It's really up to you how you use these.

138
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:52,200
But if we go here again and we search, let's just say training, do personal training.

139
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,600
It will give you all of these different icons that you can use on the website.

140
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:06,660
This is one of the most challenging things when you're going to build something in the design world

141
00:11:06,660 --> 00:11:10,770
and the website world is knowing where to find awesome photos.

142
00:11:11,550 --> 00:11:16,710
How to build the website and then where to find awesome little icons to put on the website.

143
00:11:17,370 --> 00:11:22,680
That is how you can build a website in little time and charge thousands of dollars for it.

144
00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:25,560
Website design is not going anywhere.

145
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:30,390
It is a profitable freelance skill, and it will be for years in years to come.

146
00:11:30,750 --> 00:11:36,990
So if you are interested with website design, I highly recommend giving this a shot starting to mess

147
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:37,800
around in Duda.

148
00:11:38,010 --> 00:11:41,560
And you know you might have a really good knack for it.

149
00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:43,080
You never know until you try.

150
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:48,330
So that was the website design demonstration, and I will see you in the next demo.
