What Is Web Design Tuts

Web Design Tuts is a web design tutorials website that was established in early 2009. WDT offers in-depth and detailed tutorials that offer help, tips, guides, and inspiration for new or experienced web designers looking to polish their skills or enhance their designs.

Topics

Web Design Tuts covers topics from design tutorials, inspirational collections, web development guides, web design resources, and photoshop tips. These categories embody many of the needed utilities for all web designers.

The Articles

Each article that has been published on Web Design Tuts took several hours of research and work to put together. This work has paid off. Each post ranks highly on Google for its related keywords. Most posts are over 1,000 words and include lots of captioned pictures, examples, and related resources (from Twitter, comments, and other sites). For a good example of one of the more popular posts on WDT, check: http://webdesigntuts.com/web-design/using-white-space-effectively-in-web-design/

About The Site

Web Design Tuts is run on the latest version of WordPress using the WooThemes theme, Busy Bee.

Social Presence

Web Design Tuts has grown a very strong social presence in the 11 months it has been running. With over 1,500 RSS subscribers and over 500 Twitter followers, WDT has built a community of designers who are eager to learn more about web design and development. The Twitter feed is often used to leverage traffic to new posts and attract comments, linkbacks, and more from followers. This account is included in the purchase.

The community following WDT is active as well. With 260 comments on just 13 posts, this site attracts a strong connection with readers and followers.

Why The Sale?

When I launched Web Design Tuts in January, the site was received very well among the design community. The site saw about 50,000 visitors within the first couple of months. However, in February, due to time restraints, I was unable to keep posting new tutorials or guides. Although this listing shows the site averaging 6,000 visitors per month, it is worth noting that in the 11 months the site has been live there has been over 90,000 unique visitors with over 150,000 page views. I am selling the site to allow a worthy designer to take advantage of this superior domain name and massive potential for a killer web design tutorial website.
Revenue Details

When I first launched Web Design Tuts in January, I had strong banner ad sales through BuySellAds. Today, with no posts in the last few months, I still run $10/mo banner ads. However, this revenue is unrealistic.

With regular posting and attention to marketing and traffic, Web Design Tuts could easily see 20,000+ visitors per month after the first month after purchase. Given time, traffic will continue to grow alongside regular posting which can be monetized through AdSense, affiliate programs, and banner ad sales.
