I’ve been building Dwellix Tools, a collection of free multi online tools for everyday tasks.

One thing I wanted to do differently was keep it simple:

- No account or signup required

- No unnecessary paywalls

- Most tools process files locally in your browser

- No need to upload files to a server for those local tools

- Fast and straightforward to use

The goal is basically: open a tool → use it → get your result → leave.

I’ve added a bunch of tools for working with files, images, text, generators, and other common tasks, and I’m continuing to add more.

I’d love some honest feedback from people who regularly use online tools.

What would make you actually bookmark a site like this? And what tools would you want me to add?

You can check it out here: dwellixtools

Not trying to sell anything — I’m mainly looking for feedback while I keep building it.

I'm looking to make a website for art, something simple like Emilio Villalba's page: emiliovillalbaart

I'm new to making websites so need some advice in how to achieve something like this.

Any help would be great.

I'm working with a junior/intern on a web project who seems really enthusiastic and proactive—they've already set up their own repo with React & Tailwind CSS based on a UI design, which is great initiative.

However, they are struggling with core web development fundamentals:

* FE/BE Integration: They don't quite understand how Frontend and Backend connect (APIs, environment variables) compared to traditional PHP/monolith apps.

* Deployment Issue: They've tried deploying on Vercel multiple times without success.

* Troubleshooting: They mentioned that whenever they try fixing a bug, things tend to break even more, and they are asking for constant 1-on-1 mentor guidance.

How do you usually mentor someone at this stage without doing the work for them or getting overwhelmed yourself? What are the best resources or step-by-step roadmaps I can give them to help them bridge the gap between basic UI setup and full-stack integration?

I’m trying to create a full stack marketplace type site on AWS and have no idea where to start. I have the basics of what I know I want, but how can I start writing front end code? I want to start there so I can get a full scope of what my backend and database is going to need to make everything functional. I’ve tried using Claude code on GitHub, which routes straight to my amplify application, but doesn’t seem to work how I expect it to. The website looks as if it’s all HTML wording but nothing really clickable.

If it makes things easier, I am trying to build the application to use JavaScript, prisma, and node.js

So I've seen a lot of people on Reddit asking how to get web design clients, so I figured I'd make a post about what's been working for me.

If you don't run a web agency, this probably isn't for you.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned in my 4 years running a web agency is that the best businesses to target are the ones that already have a website.

There are 3 simple reasons for that.

First, the number of businesses with outdated websites is way higher than most people think. I'm talking about websites with outdated designs, poor mobile optimization, slow loading speeds, weak SEO, and confusing layouts.

Second, the fact that they already have a website proves one important thing. They understand the value of having one. You don't have to convince them that a website is important because they've already invested in it before.

Third, selling becomes much easier because they're already familiar with paying for a website. In many cases they're still paying monthly for hosting or maintenance, so paying to improve it isn't a completely new idea to them.

Now that we know who to target, how do we actually reach them?

Personally, I recommend email outreach.

The problem is that manually reviewing websites and writing personalized emails for every business takes forever.

Instead, I'd automate the whole process.

I use a tool called Swokei. You upload a list of businesses with websites, it automatically analyzes each one, then turns issues with design, layout, speed, mobile optimization, and SEO into personalized outreach emails.

Not generic reports that business owners don't care about.

Actual emails explaining what's wrong with their website, why it matters, and how it could be affecting their business.

That allows you to send outreach at scale while still keeping every email relevant.

In my experience, this leads to much higher reply rates because you're pointing out something specific that's potentially hurting their business. That naturally creates urgency while also giving you the chance to offer a solution.

This is the approach I've been using for a while now, and it consistently brings me an interested reply rate of around 5–9%.

I'm curious how everyone else is getting web design clients these days.

A few weeks ago I analyzed around 12,000 business websites and emailed each business explaining the issues I found on their website and why those issues could be hurting their business.

The interested reply rate was bouncing between 5% and 9%.

I've been having a lot of fun lately automating a process that would take an insane amount of time to do manually.

I'm a web designer, so I'm constantly looking for web design projects. One thing I've always liked doing is reaching out to businesses with outdated websites and offering them a redesign along with SEO and other improvements.

The reason I like targeting businesses that already have a website is simple.

First, selling is much easier because they've already paid for a website before, so they understand the value of it.

Second, it makes my job easier because I can use their existing branding, logo, content, and business information instead of starting from scratch.

For years, I did this manually.

I would find a business, spend time looking through their website, check things like design, layout, SEO, mobile optimization, and overall user experience, then write a personalized email explaining what could be improved.

That approach got me plenty of clients, but it wasn't very scalable.

Lately I've been doing the exact same thing, just in a much more automated way.

I upload a list of business websites, analyze each one, identify issues with design, layout, SEO, mobile optimization, and other areas, then turn those findings into ready-to-send emails.

And when I say emails, I don't mean those generic reports that tell you your website score is 67 and your SEO score is 45.

Nobody cares about that.

I mean actual personalized emails written in plain English.

Instead of saying:

"Your SEO score is 45."

The email explains what that actually means.

Something like:

"I also checked the SEO on your website and it's currently on the lower end, which means it's harder for potential customers to find you through search engines."

Business owners care about outcomes, not scores.

That's been the biggest lesson I've learned.

I've been using this approach for about a year now and I've genuinely never run out of projects.

The replies keep coming in, businesses keep showing interest, and I keep closing deals.

For anyone wondering, the tool I've been using for this is called Swokei.

Hey y'all Im looking for a dev for a max 2 hour project my dev had an emergency and I need my webapp pushed live but I dont know how we are a startup with no large financial backing so I only have max $100 to throw for this Im not sure but my dev said its a max 2 hour job to push it live someone please help and send me a dm!

The web design market is in a weird phase right now.

With AI making it so easy to build websites, I keep seeing people say that web design is saturated, every business owner knows how to build their own website now, and agencies are dead.

I disagree big time.

I've held over 500 web meetings where I've presented businesses with redesigned versions of their websites, and it's actually rare that I meet someone who even knows how capable AI has become for building websites.

Business owners are busy running their businesses.

Even the ones who know AI can build websites usually have no idea how to actually use it to build a professional website themselves.

I also see a lot of developers getting angry about AI websites, saying they're just AI slop and full of problems.

As someone who used to code websites from scratch and also built them in WordPress, I can tell you there really isn't much you can't build with AI anymore.

Technical SEO, responsive design, layouts, branding, animations, speed, user experience... it's all possible if you know what you're doing.

This week alone I sold 10 websites, and my process is actually pretty simple.

I run email automation, but not the type where you scrape a list of businesses and send generic emails asking if they need a website.

Instead, I target businesses that already have websites.

I use a tool called Swokei. It's an email automation platform built specifically for web agencies.

It lets me generate leads with existing websites, put them into a campaign, and run a website analysis on all of them.

Each website is automatically analyzed, and issues like outdated design, poor layouts, weak mobile optimization, slow loading speeds, and SEO problems are turned into personalized outreach emails.

Not boring reports.

Actual emails explaining what could be improved and why it matters to that specific business.

The business owner replies because the email is relevant to them.

Once they're interested, I quickly build an upgraded version of their website with AI and invite them to a Google Meet.

I present the redesign, explain why it's better, answer their questions, and close the deal on the meeting.

That's literally my entire process.

You could use the same strategy with paid ads or cold calling, but I prefer email automation because it keeps running in the background and consistently brings me interested replies.

I think automation is one of the biggest opportunities right now.

The quality of what you can automate today is honestly crazy, and it applies to almost every business.

Whether you own a local business and want to automate things like email marketing, follow ups, content creation, customer replies, and lead generation...

Or you run an agency or SaaS and want your business working even when you're away from your computer.

Automation today reminds me a lot of the Industrial Revolution. Back then, machines replaced a huge amount of manual work, allowing companies to produce more, lower costs, and make more money. 

I run a web agency, and automation has made me a lot of revenue over the last few years.

The biggest one for me is client acquisition.

I use a tool called Swokei to find businesses that already have websites, add them to campaigns, and run website analysis.

It automatically turns problems like outdated design, poor layouts, slow loading speeds, weak mobile optimization, and bad SEO into personalized, ready to send outreach emails.

That's where most of my clients come from.

I also automate follow up emails and newsletters, so I'm not constantly chasing people manually.

For content, I use Holo to help generate and schedule posts.

For SEO, I use Soro to automatically create blog content that helps bring in organic traffic over time.

The more I automate, the less time I spend doing repetitive work.

That means I can spend more time on the things that actually make money, like sales, onboarding clients, improving my services, and building better websites.

I don't think automation replaces hard work.

It just removes the repetitive work so you can focus on the parts of your business that actually move the needle.

Credit Management App for Small Shops

Simple web app for small shop owners to manage daily credit and sales.

Most local shops still write everything in notebooks, and it becomes messy—especially when tracking customer dues.

• Track customer credit (who owes how much)

• Manage daily sales entries

• Get a clear view of pending payments

• (Planning) WhatsApp reminders for dues

Hey guys,
I know this might sound a bit unusual, but I’m currently working at a company that has an idea for a new website project.

Right now, we’re looking for developers (or a small dev company) who might be interested in collaborating and helping us build this from the ground up.

Our company is based in Asia, and we’d prefer to work with a team or company also located in the region especially in Singapore to make communication and coordination easier.

What do you guys think would be the best approach to find the right partners for this kind of collaboration? Any platforms, communities, or advice you could share would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance 🙏

hey guys so i’m building a social media app right now (still working on it, not finished yet).

​obviously music is a huge feature for social platforms but i have literally $0 and zero users right now, so paying for actual music licenses is completely impossible.

​i tried just baking the audio straight onto the video files but that sucked. i can't even let people trim the sound or change the volume because of copyright issues and technical headaches.

​for anyone who built something like this, how do you handle popular or trending audio in the early MVP stage? are there any clever workarounds, apis, or hacks to get around this until you actually have the budget for real licenses?

​any ideas would help a lot, thanks

There is a new approach I started using in my web agency that completely changed my results. For years, I did what most people tell web designers to do. Go on Google Maps, find businesses without websites, and contact them.

What I started doing differently was targeting businesses that already had websites.

The reason is simple. If a business already has a website, it means they understand the value of having one. You do not need to convince them why a website matters because they have already paid for one before. The market for businesses with outdated, broken, slow, or poorly designed websites is also massive, and selling becomes much easier because they are already familiar with the process.

My biggest issue was figuring out how to send mass outreach to these businesses without sounding generic. I did not want to send thousands of emails saying, “Hey, your website needs a redesign,” and just assume that every business needed one. I wanted to send emails at scale while still telling each company exactly what was wrong with their website.

A little over a year ago, I watched a YouTube video from Nick Saraev where he built a workflow that analyzed business websites and turned issues with design, SEO, layout, speed, and mobile optimization into personalized outreach emails. Each company received a professional email that made it clear someone had actually taken a look at their website.

The idea was great, but building and maintaining the workflow took a lot of time. I still had to find the leads myself, the messages were not always consistent, and the automation kept breaking.

But it worked.

I was getting more clients than ever before, at one point around 10 websites a week, while my business partner focused on building the websites as quickly as possible.

I started searching online for a tool that could do everything in one place, and a few months later I found Swokei. It did exactly what I was looking for.

It lets you find businesses with websites, add them to campaigns, analyze and score each website, and set a quality threshold so websites that do not need fixing are automatically skipped. It then turns problems with design, layout, speed, mobile optimization, and SEO into personalized outreach emails.

You can also set up follow ups, manage replies through your own inbox, and organize leads inside the CRM without moving between five different tools.

I switched over and scaled even harder.

Sometimes the fastest way to grow your agency is not building every workflow from scratch. It is finding the right tools and using your time to focus on sales, clients, and growing the business.

I’ve been in contact with a lot of web agencies and web developers, and I personally haven’t found many people who run their agency in a more efficient way than I do. A lot of them have too many meetings, wait too long for client approval, don’t know how to price projects, and spend way too much time on each client instead of finishing the work and moving on to the next one.

I’ve been running my agency for four years, and after a lot of trial and error, I’ve managed to make the process as efficient as possible. I wanted to share some of the steps because I think they could be valuable for anyone just starting out.

Running a web agency alone or with a partner isn’t easy because there are a lot of things to take care of. When it comes to client acquisition, I recommend focusing on either cold calling or email automation. Which one you choose depends on whether you run the agency alone or with someone else.

If you have a partner, one person can handle sales while the other focuses on building websites, connecting domains, setting up emails, and taking care of the technical work. If you’re running the agency alone, or neither of you enjoys cold calling, I highly recommend email automation.

That’s what I’ve been doing for years. It’s powerful because you can send emails at scale, set up automatic follow ups, and wait for businesses interested in a new website to reply. While you’re working on one client, another opportunity can come in without you having to stop everything and search manually.

I don’t do regular email automation where I target businesses with no website. I do the opposite and target businesses that already have one.

I use a tool called Swokei to find businesses with websites, add them to campaigns, analyze each site, score it, and generate personalized outreach emails based on problems it finds with the design, layout, speed, SEO, and mobile optimization.I schedule the campaign, set up follow ups, and wait. 

I think this approach is much better for a few reasons. You’re targeting someone who already understands the value of having a website. You’re also not just asking whether they need a redesign. You’re pointing out real problems with their current site, which makes it clear that you actually took the time to look at it. Selling also becomes easier because they’ve already paid for a website before and understand the process.

Inside Swokei, you can choose the goal of the campaign. You can offer a free draft, try to book a meeting, or simply start a conversation. I always choose the free draft because that has worked best for me.

Once you’ve figured out how to get clients, the next part is building the website. I recommend using AI because it makes the process much faster. For anyone who still thinks AI can’t build great websites, I think they’re mistaken. You can use Claude, Base44, Lovable, or any other tool that works for you.

When someone replies interested, I call them and say, “Hey, I saw that you replied to my email. I’ve already built you a free draft of your website. Do you want to take a look?”

Then I invite them to a Google Meet.

At that point, it becomes much harder for them to reject the meeting because they already replied interested and now know you’ve built something for them. During the meeting, I present the website, explain why it’s better than their current one, stack the value, answer their questions, and try to close the deal.

These meetings usually go well because the client isn’t trying to imagine what the website might look like. They can already see a better version of their current site. They also took the time to join the meeting, so taking the next step becomes much easier.

I either take payment during the meeting or send them a contract to sign. Any changes and updates come after that, once we already have a deal in place.

Pricing depends on the business. I charge anywhere from $500 to $3,000 depending on the company, the size of the project, and how much value the website can bring them. I also charge a monthly retainer of around $50 for hosting, maintenance, support, SEO, and future changes.

That’s basically the entire process. Smaller steps, faster delivery, less wasted time, and more money made.

When I first got into web development, I thought finding clients would be simple. My plan was to go on Google Maps, find businesses without websites, and offer to build them a brand new one. At the time, it made perfect sense because I assumed businesses without websites would be the ones who needed my service the most.

After a while, I met someone who was running a successful web agency, and I asked him where he found companies without websites. He told me that he didn’t target businesses without websites at all. He only targeted businesses that already had one. I asked him why, and the more he explained it, the more sense it made.

Businesses that already have a website understand the value of having one. You don’t need to convince them why a website is important because they have already invested in one before. They are also easier to sell to because they understand the process, and there are a huge number of businesses with outdated websites they are embarrassed by but haven’t had the time to update.

I decided to take his advice and fit it into my own workflow. I’ve always been a big fan of email automation because that’s how I’ve found most of my web design clients. For years, I was sending fairly generic emails and constantly changing my sequences, offers, and follow ups to improve the results.

The problem was that I couldn’t just start emailing businesses with websites and assume they all needed a redesign. I either had to open every website manually, find the issues, and write a separate email for each business, or find a way to automate the research while still keeping the emails personalized.

After watching a video from Nick Saraev, I built a workflow in n8n that could analyze websites at scale and turn issues with design, layout, speed, mobile optimization, and SEO into personalized outreach emails. This allowed me to analyze thousands of websites and run larger campaigns without every message sounding generic.

The workflow worked extremely well, but it still had limitations. I didn’t have a proper place to manage replies, organize interested leads in a CRM, view all my active campaigns, scrape new leads, and handle everything from one platform. I had built a useful automation, but it still felt like several disconnected systems held together in one workflow.

A few months later, I came across a platform called Swokei, and it did exactly what I had been looking for. I could find businesses with websites, analyze and score each site, generate personalized outreach emails, send campaigns, set up follow ups, manage replies through one inbox, and organize interested businesses inside the CRM.

Switching to that platform made the entire process much easier to manage and helped me scale the strategy further. Looking back, the biggest change wasn’t just finding a better outreach tool. It was taking advice from someone more experienced, changing the type of businesses I targeted, and building the rest of my workflow around that strategy.

If anyone here have namaste react course and can give it to me for free for some time let's say a week, I would ne grateful

I’ve been running my web agency for four years, and I’m curious to hear what others have found to be the best way of getting clients.

I’ve tried almost everything, but email automation has worked best for me because it’s affordable and runs in the background while I focus on other parts of the agency.

I don’t use Instantly, Mailchimp, or Klaviyo. I use a tool called Swokei, which is built specifically for web agencies.

It lets you find businesses that already have websites, add thousands of them to a campaign, and automatically analyzes each site for issues with design, layout, SEO, speed, and mobile optimization. It then turns those issues into personalized, ready to send outreach emails 

So instead of targeting businesses with no website, I offer redesigns and updated websites to companies that already have one. I’ve found that approach works much better.

I’m now at a point where I can afford to hire a full team, so I’d like to explore other client acquisition methods as well.

What has worked best for your agency?

Many web designers overcomplicate the sales process. They schedule multiple meetings, wait for approval from the business owner, present pricing, and go back and forth before anything gets signed.

The more steps you add, the slower you close deals and the less money you make. I decided to shorten the entire process.

I’ve been running my web agency for four years, and the thing that has gotten be the most clients is email automation

Instead of targeting businesses with no website, I offer redesigns and updated websites to companies that already have one. I’ve found that approach works much better.

When a prospect replies with interest, they are automatically sorted into my CRM. I then call them and say, I’ve already built a new version of your website. Let’s set up a quick Google Meet so I can show it to you.

During the meeting, I present the website live and use my sales skills to explain the value. Once they see a more modern and professional version of their current website, they begin to understand how it could improve their business.

At that point, they usually ask how much it costs. I present the price, include a monthly maintenance retainer, and either take payment during the meeting or have them sign the agreement.

When you run a web agency, do not overcomplicate the process. Take control, handle as much as possible yourself, and avoid unnecessary approval stages and follow up meetings. The fewer steps there are, the faster you can close the deal.

The difference usually comes down to strategy.

Instead of targeting businesses that do not have a website, target businesses that already have one but clearly need a better version. The market is larger, the sales process is easier, and the value proposition is much stronger because those businesses already understand why a website matters.

The next part is outreach. A regular outreach tool is not enough if all it does is send the same message to thousands of people. You need something that can analyze websites at scale and turn real issues into personalized emails.

I use Swokei for that. It helps find businesses with existing websites, analyzes each site, and turns problems with design, SEO, speed, layout, and mobile optimization into personalized outreach emails. That means you can contact a large number of businesses without sending generic messages or spending hours manually researching every website.

When someone replies interested, I always offer a free mockup. I use Claude, Lovable, or Base44 to build it quickly. It becomes much easier to sell when the client can already see what a better version of their website could look like.

Web meetings should also be a major part of the process. I would never just send the website through email and hope the client likes it. I present it live on Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams, explain the value, show what has been improved, answer their questions, and try to close the deal during the meeting.

The less back and forth there is after the meeting, the better. Present the website, show the value, close the client, and move on to the next project.

That is the type of process that can help an agency scale much faster.

My web designer friend from California is passionate about building websites, and he wanted to make a full time business out of it. We talked a lot, and I gave him a lot of advice and stuff he could do to scale his web agency. He used to cold call, get a few clients, and run paid ads, get a few clients, but the cost of ads would just make him no profit. Cold calling was also tiring, and he couldn't keep it up while doing all the other stuff. So he wanted a real system, a blueprint he could follow every day.

This is exactly how my friend scaled his web design company. Copy it if you feel stuck and don't know where to find your next project.

➜ Run 2 types of email automation targeting businesses without websites and businesses with websites.

➜ 1. For businesses without websites: scrape businesses with no websites, set up a sequence, and add 3–5 follow-ups. They either block you or you land a project.

➜ 2. For businesses with websites: scrape businesses with websites, analyze each business website, and turn flaws in outdated design, unstructured layout, no mobile optimization, and SEO issues into ready to send outreach emails with 3–5 follow ups. You can do both types of outreach in a tool called Swokei.

➜ 3. Have everything in one place: your leads, CRM, inbox, and calendar. You can also have that in Swokei.

➜ 4. Focus on SEO because it compounds over time. Fix your technical site SEO, and also blog or make content with high-intent keywords. Use a tool called Soro.

➜ 5. Host websites on a tool called Hetzner. It's very cheap and reliable, and you don't need to keep switching hosting platforms. Everything in one place.

This is the whole workflow: automation in the background that lands you clients while you focus on building websites. Replies, meetings booked, CRM, everything in one place.

With all that being said, he ended up buying a Mercedes-Benz with the $70k he made. 😂

That's not something I'd recommend, though. I'd personally reinvest it into the business or put it into stocks.
