404 - Web Designer Pro turns 5 (Q&A with Josh & Members)10 Nov 202501:21:01

Happy 5th Birthday Web Designer Pro® 🥳

What started on November 4th, 2020, as a small coaching community for 30+ of my top course students has become a leader in the web design business-coaching space and one of Circle's most highly engaged communities.

It's a testament to the AMAZING members who show up every week to help, support, and encourage each other, as web designers at all stages, to grow their web businesses together.

It's an honor to lead this thing, and I can safely say – 5 years in and we're just getting going!🎉

This special edition podcast episode is the replay from our recent live Q&A with Coaching Tier members of Pro, celebrating the milestone. Many of whom are original founding members who’ve been in since day one!

Questions range from community building, if I miss designing websites for clients, podcasting, offers/pricing, how to do YouTube to get clients and much more.

395 - Going Full-Time Web Design (a WDP Coaching Call with Ben and Alexia)08 Sep 202501:03:27

This episode is a recent coaching call I had with two members from my community Web Designer Pro™, all about going full-time with your web design business.

Alexia JUST went full-time at the time of publishing this episode and Ben went full-time in Dec of 2024, so it was great hearing both of their perspectives about lessons learned going full-time with them having just done it.

What’s particularly of note is the mental shift when opening up an additional 20, 30 or 40 hours a week of freedom along with the challenges that most web designers aren’t aware of after the fun and excitement of going full-time wears off.

Excited to hear how this one helps, especially if you’re gearing up to go full-time with your web design biz!

Join Ben, Alexia and 270+ active community members in Web Designer Pro™ today.

Community members get first dibs to upgrade to the Coaching Tier to get access to these weekly coaching calls and 24/7 DM access to me for personalized, private coaching!
