Selling marketing, advertising and growth services to web designers

Web designers are often freelancers or small studios who build and look after sites for local businesses. They buy hosting, tools and outsourced development, and they choose partners who make them look good in front of their clients.

Most marketing agencies win clients through referrals, a few directories and the odd cold email sent from a spreadsheet. A lead database of your own lets you build a list per niche and region, see who you already contacted and follow up without losing track.

Every month you do not reach web designers with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What marketing agencies run into with web designers

Prospect lists for each niche end up in separate spreadsheets that nobody keeps up to date.

Import every list into one lead database, split it with segments per niche or region and keep one status per company.

Local businesses often show a website but no email address.

Email from domain derives role addresses such as info@ and hello@ from the website, with no credits to spend.

Web designers find their own names in footers and get many partnership mails.

A short, specific message sent in small batches stands out more than a long pitch.

Freelancers rarely list an email address and use hello@ on their own domain.

Email from domain with hello@ ticked gives you a likely address to test.

Questions people ask

Can I collect web designers from footer credits?

You can gather the sites yourself and paste the page HTML into paste and collect, which turns repeating blocks into rows. Riftjaw does not crawl the web on its own.

Are hello@ addresses for web designers verified?

No. They are likely addresses built from common patterns. Test with a small batch and watch the send log.

How do I get email addresses for web designers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, studio@ and design@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
