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

Selling website design, builds and redesigns 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.

Web design studios usually win projects through referrals and by approaching businesses whose website looks dated or does not work well on a phone. Your own lead database keeps those prospects in one list, with a note on what you would improve for each of them.

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 web design studios run into with web designers

You collect prospect websites while browsing but lose them in bookmarks and notes.

Import the websites or paste a directory page into the scrape tool and keep everything in one lead file.

Each prospect needs a personal touch, which makes outreach slow.

Use placeholders for the company name and your own fields, so every email reads personal without writing it from scratch.

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.
