Database in Riftjaw with active contacts, segment, lead file and source

Selling software and online tools for businesses 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.

Software companies that sell to small and medium businesses often rely on inbound signups, content and paid ads. A lead database of the exact business types you serve adds a direct outbound channel that you control yourself.

The web designers that need software and online tools for businesses are listed publicly. What most software companies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What software companies run into with web designers

Buying contact data for a narrow vertical is expensive and often outdated.

Build the list yourself from public sources, import it and keep it fresh on your own server.

Outbound lists and product signups live in different places.

Keep prospects in one database with statuses and tags, and export to CSV whenever another system needs them.

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.
