Most CRMs are built for sales teams with pipelines, forecasts and 40 custom fields. Web designers selling to local businesses need something much simpler. Here's what a CRM for web designers really has to do.

The five must-haves

  1. Statuses that match your process: new, contacted, follow-up, interested, won, lost.
  2. Follow-up dates with a daily list of what's due.
  3. Notes on every lead so you remember the last conversation.
  4. Checked emails so your outreach doesn't bounce.
  5. Send from your own Gmail without copy-pasting between tabs.

Every lead with its status, follow-up date and email check at a glance.

Nice to have

  • The lead's current website status and a screenshot.
  • A one-click website preview for the lead.
  • CSV import and export.
  • Closers with their own login and commissions.

What to skip

Complex deal stages, forecasting and marketing automation you'll never set up. If a tool takes a week to configure, you'll go back to a spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions

Do web designers need a CRM?

Once you contact more than a few dozen businesses, yes. A CRM keeps follow-ups, notes and statuses in one place so no lead slips.

Can I use a spreadsheet instead of a CRM?

For a handful of leads, yes. Beyond that, a simple CRM with follow-up dates saves time and lost deals.
