I recently did a live training on how to Scale Your Web Design Business for Brad Hussey’s web design community CreativeCrew.
We did a live Q&A session afterward and had some amazing questions come in. Brad and I got to riff on scaling a web agency, the lessons learned from our experience, what we both may have done differently and what we felt worked really well.
I’m pleased to share the entire Q&A portion with you here in this special edition episode of the podcast!
We cover topics like:

How to delegate sales or marketing in your web business
Whether you should say “I” or “We” on your website
How you know when it’s time to scale
How to stay profitable when hiring out work and much more

375 - 5 Years In and Thriving with "Web Designer for Speakers" Kristin Adkins 1:14:47

cách đây 5 ngày trước1:14:47

1:14:47

There’s nothing better than talking to a web designer who’s enjoying their work, loving their clients, making good money and who’s just all around thriving. And that’s why I’m pumped to share this recent convo I had with Kristin Adkins of Crash Design Co who’s found a suite niche by becoming the trusted “web designer for speakers” Kristin was on the podcast (ep 143) when she had just gone full time and I thought it was a good time to catch up because now, 5 years later, she’s grown her business, nailed her niche and continues to love every minute of it. A lot of web designers get burned out, take too much on or have goals that lead to stress and growth pains but Kristin’s done it right by building a business around her lifestyle goals and mid-west pace. This was a hard one to title because we get into everything from: Niching Scaling/hiring Building a referral network Raising rates Sticking with Elementor (and not having shiny object syndrome) The value of sending clients “website launch packs” And so much more. But it’s all the things that have led to her having an amazing first 5 years so that’s what we get into in this one. P.S. Wouldn’t it be cool to see her website launch pack examples and process? Kristin will be doing a special guest training inside Web Designer Pro™ this summer so jump on in to connect with her!

In this first-ever quarterly income report, we'll get into how we achieved $115,655 in revenue with over $88,000 in profit while building Web Designer Pro to $346,459 in annual recurring revenue. Highlights include: • Moving course sales pages from joshhallco to webdesignerprocom, including transferring all course reviews using Senja • Launching Web Designer HQ, a centralized directory for all SOP templates, email scripts, and resources • Creating audio versions of three courses available as private podcast feeds for Pro members • Introducing Brock, an AI agent for Web Designer Pro that helps members find resources and get coaching • Planning course revamps for DNS and SEO courses plus developing a new model site • Celebrating nearly selling out the first Web Designer Pro conference with 36 out of 40 tickets sold • Breaking down revenue streams: $85,000 from Web Designer Pro memberships, $15,000 from sponsorships, $8,186 from affiliate income • Maintaining a lean business model with just $27,600 in quarterly expenses, including team costs and taxes I definitely challenge you to look at your own business numbers quarterly, even if you don't share them publicly.

374 - How to Get Web Design Clients through Social Media Videos with Blaze Smith 1:09:09

cách đây 12 ngày trước1:09:09

1:09:09

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 a market, there’s not a saturation of “quality.” This could not be more timely for you if you’re wanting to market your web design business with videos and reels. And there may be no better example of this than my guest in this chat, Blaze Smith Blaze, who at a very young age, started getting clients immediately through Instagram and TikTok reels. Many of them with big brand CEO’s, founders and marketing directors. We get into his process from planning, to recording, to the proven strategies and blueprints he follows for all his videos which have not only brought in quality leads, but have also built up his social media following to tens of thousands in a matter of months. If you’re wondering how to stand out and get clients with reels, here ya go.

373 - Offering a "Light Branding Package" with Jamie Starcevich 53:11

cách đây 19 ngày trước53:11

Ok web designer – tell me if this sounds familiar… You sign on a new client for a website project! But then, they send you their atrocious logo… Now what? Do you design the website based on their terrible logo/existing brand? Do you try to upsell an unexpected logo/brand package? Do you pause the website project and tell them to hire a new logo designer first? This is a very common challenge for web designers but there is a solution! Repeat guest and branding expert Jamie Starcevich has really dialed in a nifty solution for this situation which is, in short, to offer a “Light Branding Package.” In this chat, we get into all the details of how to offer it, what constraints to put on it, how much to charge for it and more!

cách đây 26 ngày trước1:05:25

They say business is like a roller coaster…ups and downs and highs and lows…and “they” couldn’t be more right. My guest in this chat, friend of the podcast, king of the Subscription Web Design model and founding member of Web Designer Pro Steve Schramm can also confirm. Recently, he shared a thoughtful, transparent and inspirational post in Pro about how he rebounded from a tough situation when he had over 6k+ in MRR drop within one week. At the same time, he also landed one of his biggest contracts to date…the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship truly are comical sometimes. But most importantly, we get into exactly WHAT he did when he had the week of 6k down and HOW he began to rebound quickly. Enjoy. Enjoy this chat and enjoy the ride of being a web design entrepreneur baby!

Trusting your gut…it usually pays off, maybe not on the books, but personally. But following your intuition is not always easy. Especially if sales are down, confidence is low, etc. You may have no idea where your intuition is leading you. So to help with this topic, I’m here to share my recent convo with business coach and mentor Alyssa Williamson who has some SOLID advice and principles for leading your business through intuition and following what works for you. As someone who faced burnout and learned the dangers of NOT following her intuition, Alyssa is a real-world example of how to live this first hand.

367 - Building an Online Community (for Your Web Design Clients) with Carol Dunlop 1:04:51

cách đây 9 weeks trước1:04:51

1:04:51

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. One way to do that is by offering a customer membership or community. It’s a great way to build MRR, stay top of mind, create powerful customer relationships, partnerships, etc. I get it, as a web designer, you didn’t sign up to be a community builder BUT you might be sitting on a golden opportunity here so to dive into this subject, I’m excited to share a conversation I had with Carol Dunlop – a Web Designer Pro member and entrepreneur of over 30 years, recently on her podcast! While she interviews me in this one about online community building and about how to reignite HER customer marketing membership, everything we discuss can be implemented by you if you’re considering having a customer membership of your own. We dive into: How a little change in her maintenance plan massively increased her MRR almost instantly How to build an online customer community When to sell said community in the lifetime of a customer How to balance community building and service work How to price a customer community And much more. Big thanks for letting me repurpose this chat with you and to Carol for having me on her show!

366 - 50% Marketing - 50% Services with James Barnard 1:16:05

cách đây 10 weeks trước1:16:05

1:16:05

Ever wondered how to have time to market your business while still having time to get design projects done? Well, there’s no magic formula and striking the balance between the two is tricky. But a great example of someone doing this well is my dude from down under, word-class logo designer James Barnard. James follows a simple 50/50 approach. Meaning 50% of his work is dedicated to marketing (social media, videos, speaking, interviews) and 50% is dedicated to service work (proposals, calls, logo designs, admin work, etc) It was awesome catching up with James to dig into this topic more which – speaking of 50% – is actually only 50% of this conversation. This turns into a coaching call about halfway through as we dig into James’ lead funnel and we pinpointed some very interesting challenges that I helped walk him through. I hope everything we covered together helps you and your lead funnel/bad-fit weeding out processes as well. P.S. I recently posted about the website audit I did for James following this call that you can check out here! It’ll be a great next step after hearing our convo.
