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 it as a program or course. Especially if you’re empowering your clients with any sort of marketing or growth help.
A shining example of how to do this is Web Designer Pro member Whitney Bateson who, after years of developing custom websites, refined her process into a web design + education solution for her wellness clients in her signature program “The Wellness Pro Website System”
In this convo, we get into:

What was the “breaking point” for her to move from custom builds
How her maintenance plan recurring revenue growth rate was factored into this pivot
What she did to refine her systems and processes to prepare to productize
How she’s balancing ongoing support for clients
Why she feels it’s GOOD to start custom before moving to productized

Whether you’re interested in productizing your web design services as a course, service, product, program, etc…Whitney is a shining example of how to do it right so I really hope this convo helps you get more time and sanity back when you’re ready to productize your results!

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

לפני יומיים1:09:09

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.

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!

Trusting your gut…it usually pays off, maybe not on the books, but personally. But following your intuition is not always easy.

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

לפני 7 weeks1:04:51

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

לפני 8 weeks1:16:05

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.

Building landing pages or sales pages that convert isn’t rocket science. But there is some science to it. Most of which is proven and can be learned from (and implemented) into your own sales pages very quickly. So, let’s cut right to the chase on how to create high-converting landing/sales pages with an expert who’s been around the block MANY times over. This is a chat with Alisha Conlin-Hurd who’s worked on, optimized and deployed thousands of high-converting sales pages across hundreds of different industries. She’s a wealth of knowledge on the subject but in this one, we get into the specifics you can apply to your web design services pages and lead generators including: How long a sales pages should be What common elements are high-converters How to balance images, graphics and copy together If AI converts What “stand out” practices you can try out without veering too far off the proven path of conversions Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/365 🤖 Broc (the WDP™ bot) is live!

364 - Managing ADHD as a Web Designer with Rob Chaplin 1:16:59

לפני 10 weeks1:16:59

1:16:59

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. But since the conversation around this has become more prevalent for me both personally in my coaching DM’s and in the web design community at large via other forums or groups I check into, I wanted to dig into what this looks like practically for adults running a web design business. Since this is a sensitive topic, I wanted to chat with someone who I could level with and learn from versus being educated from an “ADHD Coach” per say. That’s why I’m dang pumped about sharing my recent convo with my old friend (literally, we were doubles tennis partners in High School) Rob Chaplin. Rob and I reconnected a couple years back when he was considering jumping into a creative field like web design. Since then, he’s been through all my courses, built up his freelance business and became a member of my community Web Designer pro. But in 2024, he let me know that he hit a wall…feeling disorganized, down, scattered and disoriented about how to move forward in business and in life. Now, many of these feelings are natural when you start a business, do something new or take on the common stresses of building something – but for Rob, it was more. After some self-research, he dipped his toe into pursuing ADHD treatment, most of which are behavioral and habitual and I have to say, I’ve seen a noticeable difference with his output and his overall energy and state. For all those reasons and more, I wanted to have an open chat about HIS experience and journey managing ADHD as a web designer and because he’s so new in the journey and he’s really passionate about sharing what’s working for him. We dig into: The red flags that led him to research ADHD How he started small and began making better progress in becoming more focused and productive What tips, tricks and strategies he uses to help his ADHD (daily) now How creative fields like web design are actually ideal for folks on any spectrum of the ADHD scale How ADHD can actually be used in a very positive way with boundaries and constraints Again, this is purely an explorative chat for me to learn more about this world without judgement or preconceived notions. Disclaimer: Rob shares HIS journey, methods, strategies and medications that work for him but this is not medical advice or recommendation. See your doctor or consult with a professional before exploring any of the medications that are mentioned.
