My sister is a website designer, so I had her do mine. Maybe she can help -- her business is Techcreative. She's VERY thorough and does a nice job, but I don't know if she provides a product that you can change yourself. You can check her out at https://techcreativewebdesign.com/.

I try to keep a price range between $20 and $50 so that large companies with a lot of clients to purchase for don't have to "break the bank." I do like to target certain types of companies that I know give client gifts -- such as law firms. I'm also doing some email marketing, Facebook and phone inquiries. Then I have to agree with most of the other recommendations -- I make appointments and bring a free sample of one of the trays. And always follow-up with personal calls -- make them feel like they're your most important client and they'll be back every year.
