15 Fresh Pre-Built Websites for Web Designers & Their Small Business Clients

Posted · Category: Best Collections

Freelancing is not always a bed of roses. Freelancers enjoy more freedom in terms of their work habits, but that freedom can come with a price. They often face challenges that office-bound workers tend to avoid. More specifically, distractions and occasion lapses in discipline and self-control.

If these challenges are not faced head-on, a lessening in productivity can result. And this can lead to extended work hours, reduced income, or both.

Today, we are offering tips designed to help a web design freelancer meet and overcome these challenges, while enjoyiing a boost in productivity.

Tip #1) Get your projects off to a quick start with the latest Be Theme pre-built websites.

Don’t start from scratch like these guys who invented a new way of designing websites.

Be Themes’s pre-built websites make it possible for you to turn out work of the highest quality, and save a ton of time in the process. You can, for example, skip wireframing, prototyping, and best of all – coding.

Pre-built websites are quick and super easy to install, as you can see by watching this cool 40-second video.

One more advantage: you won’t end up looking like these guys!

Had your eyes checked lately? If you’re looking for an oculist, you’ve likely noticed how horrible some of their website designs are. If you have an eye specialist for a client; suggest this fresh and trustworthy pre-built website template.

Be Tea

This pre-built website, with its vintage and minimalist vibe, is destined for a tea shop. Note how the dark menu, along with a careful choice of font styles, gives this design an exceptionally welcoming look.

Tip #2) Maintaining a regular schedule is all-important.

With no one to look over your shoulder (one of the joys of being a freelance designer), you are apt to slack off. You need a structure to rely on; and setting and sticking to a regular schedule for your work provides that structure. It also helps you stay motivated. Once you sit down to work, it’s important to avoid distractions. If you must check your e-mail, do it first thing. Avoid other social media activities until your workday is completed.

Make sure to schedule sufficient downtime. Doing so will help to keep you fresh and invigorated.

Tip #3) Set clear boundaries for your work and yourself.

It’s important that your work does not interfere with your home life, and vice versa. It’s all too easy to devote excessive time to your work, and it’s equally easy to allow your home life to interfere with your job. Establish a clear boundary between the two by setting aside a separate space where you can work without being distracted. While working, ignoring any outside interference will help you stay focused. Don’t be afraid to stop at quitting time if you’re in the middle of something. Doing so makes it just that much easier to get off to a quick start the next day.

Tip #4) Follow the Pomodoro technique.

The Pomodoro technique (often referred to as the “tomato theory”) involves taking regular short breaks during a lengthy work session. It has proved to be a genuine productivity enhancer, and it works like this:

After every 45 minutes devoted to work, take a 15-minute break. Some experts say 52 minutes and 17 minutes is optimum; but that sounds a lot like splitting hairs.

Once you get into the habit, you’ll find that the periodic breaks won’t slow you down one bit. Your brain consumes a lot of energy. Give it an occasional break.

Summing Up – Some Dos and Don’ts

Do These:

Design a work schedule. Stick to it.

Set aside a space that’s dedicated to work, and make yourself unavailable during your work hours.

Save time and effort. Take advantage of what Be Theme’s 250+ pre-built websites offer.

Review what you’ve accomplished each day. Doing so will help keep you motivated.

 

Don’t Do These:

Don’t let yourself become isolated. Take the time to talk shop with peers and colleagues.

Don’t work for long periods without taking one or more breaks.

Don’t neglect your boss, team members, or clients while working on a project. Stay visible.
