The Pipeline Is the Bottleneck.
Runvax finds local businesses with a real technical gap — no site, a slow site, a dead booking flow, a page builder hitting its limits — scores the opportunity, and drafts the first message so you spend your time building, not prospecting.

Developer, not just designer
Most "find web design clients" advice assumes the deliverable is a brochure site. A developer's deliverables are wider — integrations, a booking system, a migration, an enquiry agent — and the cold message should say so. Runvax picks the offer that matches the gap it detected.

Questions
How do web developers find clients in 2026?
The reliable path is proactive outbound to businesses with a visible technical gap — no site, a slow site, a broken booking flow — combined with a tracked follow-up sequence. Multi-channel outreach (email plus WhatsApp plus a call) generates far more replies than any single channel, and most replies come from the second to fifth touch, not the first.
Is this different from finding web design clients?
The prospecting is the same; the pitch is broader. A developer can sell the rebuild, the booking system, the integrations, the migration off a page builder, and the AI enquiry layer on top. Runvax detects which of those gaps a business has so you pitch the one that is real.
Do I need a portfolio first?
A small, focused portfolio helps, but it is not a blocker for outbound. A message that names a specific, real problem on the prospect’s current site outperforms a link to your best work for a cold first touch.
