Create a professional freelancer website easily: Here's how!

As a freelancer, you're always looking for new clients to put your self-employment on a solid footing. Have you also heard about the freelancers who have built a good running business through their homepage, which runs in addition to the freelance platforms?

The fact is: More and more companies and self-employed people like to have freelancers for different projects, someone they don't have to hire permanently. But when you think about your own homepage, you're conflicted?

On the one hand, you realize that you could improve your results with your own freelancer website.

On the other hand, you're worried that you'd have to acquire programming and SEO skills to launch a website.

Also, you're wondering:

• How often do you actually need to work on your website?

• What legal requirements does your website have to meet?

• How much does a website cost?

• Do you really need your own website or is it just another construction site that you'll have to take care of?

If you're one of those lucky freelancers who already have a huge base of clients who are more likely to turn down jobs than look for them, then you can save yourself the trouble of having your own website.

However, this only applies to the absolute minority of freelancers. Most freelancers can benefit from a homepage. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that potential customers, i.e. companies, self-employed persons, but also private persons, consider it unprofessional if you as a freelancer do not use the possibilities that such an Internet presence brings with it.

On the other hand, you can present yourself very specifically via your website. You can highlight the individual highlights of your services on the Internet.

People buy through emotions. A picture is worth a thousand words. If your visitors know "There is a person behind this service, behind this product", they will build up trust more easily.

So while you can just fill out your profile on the various freelancer websites, the website gives you the opportunity to let people all over the world know about you. Your resume fits in there as well as maybe the one or other project you can present as an example.

If you offer services for which you need information from your customer, a checklist can take away the inhibition to make contact and also relieve you of many questions in advance that always come up.

Want to get started right away? Then find out here how you can easily create your own freelancer website.

Many freelancers who are looking for clients are worried that from the moment they create their website, they will spend more time maintaining it than on their actual service.

The reason for this assumption is usually simple ignorance.

After website creation, it makes sense to go to the homepage once a month to show the search engine that you are still active as a freelancer and that your website is up-to-date. For this purpose it is enough to create a weblog to your website and link it to the website.

What legal requirements does your website have to meet?

That's not so much - imprint, privacy policy and, if one can buy directly on your website, still a T&C and a cancellation policy.

But don't worry: You can easily have all of this created on the Internet and then integrate it into your homepage. All that makes good websites is good content and much less the legal aspects.

In short, everyone who needs customers. And that should be pretty much all freelancers.

Architects and engineers: present what kind of projects you've done so far.

• Health professions: What special treatments do you offer?

• Journalists: What publications have you written for? What makes you stand out?

• Editors and marketers: What special achievements can you present that set you apart from your competitors?

• Programmers, web designers, copywriters: Present your style on your website, how people can best work with you, and perhaps one or two projects that are typical for you.

Your website should reveal everything about you that the usual profiles cannot. Show personal insights, but keep your professional frame.
