Hey everyone! I've been dabbling in web development for my own projects over the past few years, and I'm considering taking a small leap into starting a local web development agency. My aim isn't to build a massive business but rather to assist small local businesses in my area that might not yet have an online presence. I'm looking to grow this slowly over time, especially as I transition towards retirement in the near future. If anyone has insights on how to get started, especially in finding those initial clients, structuring services, or any important lessons you've learned along the way, I'd love to hear your advice. Thanks so much for any tips you can share!

I've been running a small local web design agency since 2010, and I recommend using a platform that helps identify local businesses, evaluates their websites, and reaches out to those with outdated sites. It's a good way to start building your client base.
One of the first things you should do is build a strong portfolio showcasing your work. It will give potential clients an idea of your skills and style. Good luck on your journey!
What's the name of that platform?
