How to Design Websites for Small Businesses

August 25, 2026·56 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

A small business website doesn’t always need a fully custom design. In fact, spending too much time on bespoke visuals can waste the client’s budget without helping the business achieve its goals. In this episode, Matt and Mike explain how freelancers and agencies can choose the web design services they want to offer, determine how much design a client actually needs, and translate business requirements into an effective website. They compare fully custom designs, versatile themes, pre-made websites, and rebuilds on modern platforms. They also discuss managing client wishlists, gathering brand assets, working outside your comfort zone, and using AI to create more customized designs without reinventing everything from scratch.
