Listen in as I help Alexia, an early-stage web designer through some of her struggles getting her web design business off the ground. I just put together a new (free) guide to starting and building your web biz here:
👉 joshhall.co/build
If you're a web designer who's serious about starting or building your web design biz, I'm guessing there are some glaring challenges and struggles you're going through. And if you feel alone in those struggles...you're not.
There are so many common challenges I hear from web designers who are serious about starting, building and growing their web design business which we're going to solve here in this special coaching Q&A session.
Alexia, an early-stage web designer who has been stuck starting her web design business while combating analytics paralysis, finally took the leap to join my community Web Designer Pro™ and she graciously allowed me to repurpose a recent coaching chat for you!
We cover:
✅ How to decide what services to offer
✅ How to decide what website platform to use
✅ How break out of the content consuming cycle and actually get stuff done
✅ What pricing model and rates to start off with
✅ How to overcome the dreaded imposter syndrome and more
A big thanks to Alexia for sending in these questions and allowing us to take this publicly because I know she's not alone. I hope this helped you out as well!
** Update from Alexia (July 2024) **
She launched her business this month and upon her launch has landed 3 clients and has 2 proposals out! Her launch plan included starting social media profiles on FB and Insta and teasing the release. Then sharing that through her personal profiles.
She got a few shares on her launch post which brought in her first paying clients!

Good questions: a few I would add: what about project beyond your level of expertise? I’ve seen people say I just got my first major project and they want X,Y, and Z and I don’t know that. Take the project and learn on the fly or simply tell them you don’t know how. I remember my first site redesign I messed up the MX records 😂
@JoshHallco

@poppingjaz oh I feel ya there. I once changed MX records and lost my clients emails on a Saturday. One of my worst days as a web designer and why I created my cPanel course! The options are: 1) Try to figure it out (usually doesn't end well or costs you TONS of time) 2) Pass on it (sucks to lose the money if you need it) 3) Partner up with someone #3 is one of the main reasons I created Web Designer Pro. We have tons of early-stagers partnering up with Pros who have more experience or a specialization in certain builds. You can always arrange a hands off approach and collect a referral fee if they're open to it OR partner up as a percentage split on the project. Like you do design, copy or whatever you're current good at, then hire someone else to do the rest. Even a 50/50 split with the right partner is worth it for the learning experience and happy client. Hope that helps! Join us in Pro if you want to have the support system you need! joshhall.co/pro

Hey Josh, just a quick question - I resonate with the first question Alexia had, where I feel like I need to do it all. My main focus is on design/development, but how do you sell that? For example, it’s so much easier to sell a site if you could guarantee more traffic if you offered marketing services. But if you don’t, I’m finding it pretty difficult to come up with a no brainer offer especially when so many businesses I’ve reached out to are fine with outdated sites or even a facebook page as their “site”. Is this a matter of being diligent enough to just keep going until you find the right clients, or is there a better way to make a no brainer offer, that still solves problems they have?
@JoshHallco
@JoshHallco 4 месяца назад
Yep @ryanburryy just sell web design. That'll lead to ALL other avenues of marketing, growth services, etc for clients. Clients automatically assume web designers know about social media, lead generation, email, SEO, marketing, etc so just pick and choose which "growth" services you want to offer and tack it onto web design. But the proven path is to sell websites. All roads lead to web design and all roads can extend from web design. Worked for me and it works for hundreds of my students and members in Pro!

The struggle I have, is that I want to do both web design and web development, but it is hard to be - very - good at both.
@JoshHallco
@JoshHallco 2 месяца назад
True but I did both and got very far being better at design and "ok" at dev. I would partner up or hire out the aspects that you don't like or aren't well suited for as soon as you have the urge.
