55:30

I’m not currently active on LinkedIn but ironically, if I was starting a web design business today, it’s the place I’d spend most of my social media/online connection time. Why? Well, mainly because I know it’s geared towards connecting professionals rather than social media algorithm entertainment. If you’re interested in what’s working well for g…

Something I’ve learned over my 16 years of being self employed is the importance of designing your business around you. Not designing your life around your business. That’s exactly what Lindsey Freeman, founder and creative director of Designed to be Human, and I dive into in this episode. It’s easier said than done of course. And there are times w…

384 - Will Etch Save WordPress? with Kevin Geary 1:02:54

16d ago1:02:54

1:02:54

WordPress is in a tricky spot…and while still over 43% of websites on the internet use it, other platforms and builders are picking up steam and gaining in market share. My big questions are: Has WordPress reached it’s potential? Is WP just for old dudes? Will Gutenberg (aka the block editor) EVER improve? Do people care more about WordPress or the…

Paid Discovery is a HOT topic right now in web design. The idea of getting paid for a discovery call – before wasting an hour of your day with someone who has a budget of $300 – is dang intriguing for pretty much every web designer.

Having a ton of maintenance plan clients is awesome - especially for the recurring revenue. But with ongoing support clients come with ongoing support requests. Managing this with a dozen or so clients is pretty easy. And as we all know – not all clients ping you every month with requests. But once you get to 30, 40, 50, 100 + maintenance plan clie…

3M ago1:11:21

1:11:21

Web designers do a lot more than just web design… It’s not uncommon for us to be graphic and brand designers, photographers, strategists, copywriters, etc… So, should we call ourselves more than just a web designer?

3M ago1:07:47

1:07:47

The social media video and reel game is a hard one to play (and win) when it comes to landing clients. Every platform is beyond saturated, the competition is only growing and unless you’re getting quality leads fairly quick, it can be difficult to stick with. But as Roberto Blake has recently been quoted in saying: ”While there may be saturation in…

As a web designer, you may eventually get to a point (or maybe you’re there now) where you want to connect, support and continue to empower your clients in one place.

An unexpected topic of conversation I’ve consistently had over the last couple years when coaching members of my community Web Designer Pro privately is around managing ADHD and running a web design business. When thinking about ADHD, I’m probably not alone in immediately jumping to the visual of the wild 7 year old kid who can’t sit down in class.…

Many web designers don’t want to scale. I get it - because I had that mindset too.

In a low-stress, low-pressure way that works for you no matter where your business …

Let’s talk about money. How’d that make you feel? Nervous? Icky? Excited? Opportunistic? Weird? The very thought of money brings a variety of emotions depending on how you feel about it.

1:17:00

At some point, most web designers dream of moving from lengthy, time-intensive, custom web design projects to a more “productized” or “templatized” web design service. Something that clients can purchase, that has clear boundaries, constraints and limitations. There are a lot of ways to go about productizing your offers - and one way - is to frame …

If you’re on the shallow or deep end of the “introvert spectrum” spectrum, I’m guessing the sales part of web design is your least favorite part of the job, right? For some, going to in person networking, business meetups, chamber of commerce events or even calls can be energizing but for others, it’s draining. It is, however, part of being a web b…

1:04:51

Let’s get real and share exactly how it is…WordPress is not the tool of choice for most web designers getting into the game today. It may be where most end up, because WordPress is the most popular, customizable, and only open-source platform online but as a starting point, it’s not where most new web designers are starting.
