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 their page builder of choice?Is the WordPress leadership team secretly a commune outside San Fran?All of that and more is covered in this episode with repeat guest Kevin Geary.Kevin has been on the leading edge of making products for WordPress which help designers build faster, best practice sites that are focused on maintainability and sustainability.His new venture etchwp.com has loads of potential to not only rival and overtake the cumbersome native block editor, but many page builders as well.If you know Kevin, you know there's no fluff, no hiding opinions or stepping around honest thoughts. I always love talking to folks who are 100% transparent and that's what you should expect in this one.Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/384

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.But then the questions come up…Is it just a consult/strategy call?How much do I charge for it?What if I don't have enough experience or expertise?What's included in paid discovery?What if I don't want to be viewed as a digital marketing agency?Welp, we tackle all of those questions and more in this episode with Racheal Graham, an established web design agency owner who has a proven $2,000 paid discovery offer and who graciously pulls the curtain back on her entire process.Enjoy!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/382

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 clients, you've got to have a system for support.That's why I'm pumped to share this chat I had with Phil Storey, founder and CEO of Glow. This one is interesting because, not only did Phil have some solid advice for handling support requests but it was also a chance for me to learn more about his platform.I've been using ManageWP since 2016 and while it's still my preferred tool for managing multiple WordPress sites, you can't link in non-WordPress sites and there's no native support ticketing system.That's one of the big value-props of Glow as you can add non-WP sites and their big differentiator in the market is the native support ticketing system.We dig into all of that and more!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/378

(airdate: 5.1.25) Christina Haack is firing back at cheating allegations from her new boyfriend's ex. She insists there was no overlap with her soon-to-be ex-husband Josh Hall, despite the ex's claims and a timeline that's... let's just say blurred. Add in a messy divorce, money drama, and no prenup, and this HGTV star's love life is looking less "dream home" and more demolition zone.   Gwyneth Paltrow reflects on her headline-grabbing ski trial, calling it “ridiculous” and a symbol of everything broken in the legal system. Spoiler: She still can't believe someone sued her after crashing into her.   And Sean “Diddy” Combs is prepping for his upcoming trial with a court-approved capsule wardrobe—think five shirts, five pants, and two lace-free shoes. His legal troubles are mounting, but at least his outfit will be coordinated.   It's lawsuits, lies, and label-free loafers—just another day in Who Cares News land.

Subscriber-only episodeDo you remember your first year in business as a web designer? Are you there now?One thing is common for all of us in the first year…it's a rollercoaster of highs and lows, ups and downs, incredible days and perhaps dreadful days. But if you can survive that first year, chances are you're going to make it.I'm so excited to bring onto the podcast Megan Fletcher who just crossed her first year official year in business and at the same time, had her biggest revenue month to date pulling in over 8k!She's now got her sights set on a 6-figure business and has an incredible foundation to get there in year 2.In this chat, she shares all her lessons learned (both good and bad) from the first year of her business and most importantly, how she weathered a couple storms and got through the tough times.As a member of my community Web Designer Pro, I have to say these success stories are some of my favorites because I often see all the challenges, hardships and coach members when they're in the thick of it…but I know there's always a brighter future right ahead if they just stick with it!! And that's exactly what Megan has done.Enjoy!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/377Big thanks to the sponsors for our upcoming Web Designer Pro CON 2025 event!

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?Award winning branding and design studio founder Jacob Cass, who's worked with Disney, Nintendo and Jerry Seinfeld, has done it all and has some invaluable experience and perspective to share when it comes to how web designers can position themselves nowadays.One of the many things I learned from talking with Jacob is – if you position yourself in a way that's right for you, you'll watch your revenue climb, you'll attract better clients and enjoy your work more.Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/376

Happy Easter! Gospel of Luke: Luke 6:27-36 by Rev. Josh Hall, Senior Pastor, on April 20, 2025, at FBCTLH.

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:NichingScaling/hiringBuilding a referral networkRaising ratesSticking 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!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/375

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.Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/374

Gospel of Luke: Luke 5:27-32 by Rev. Josh Hall, Senior Pastor, on March 9, 2025, at FBCTLH.

We have become a most tediously offended people. We're not talking about the big stuff — it's the “little” things we wonder about. “Sticks and stones may break my bones” and “water off a duck's back” seem quaint and anachronistic in today's culture of maximal aggrievement. Provoked by even the slightest offense — that, mind you, we seem to be on constant vigilance to find — we're on a hair trigger that sends us into conjuring up “us vs. them” and “good vs. evil” thinking and language.  Scholars have written that this sad state of affairs reflects a wider shift in our culture, from what they call a “dignity culture” to an “honor and victimhood culture.” Humanity has been here before (in the days of yore when the Secretary of the Treasury killed a sitting vice president, or that one time a U.S. Senator was caned on the Senate floor) — and it doesn't end well.

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.Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/369When you join Web Designer Pro™ (on any tier) you'll get instant access to the new private audio course feeds for:Web Design Business CourseMaintenance Plan CourseScale Your Way CourseJoin Web Designer Pro™ and enjoy instant access to these courses in audio format along with the full courses inside Pro!

Gospel of Luke: Luke 5:12-16 by Rev. Josh Hall, Senior Pastor, on February 23, 2025, at FBCTLH.

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.Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/366

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 beWhat common elements are high-convertersHow to balance images, graphics and copy togetherIf AI convertsWhat “stand out” practices you can try out without veering too far off the proven path of conversionsHead to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/365

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 ADHDHow he started small and began making better progress in becoming more focused and productiveWhat tips, tricks and strategies he uses to help his ADHD (daily) nowHow creative fields like web design are actually ideal for folks on any spectrum of the ADHD scaleHow ADHD can actually be used in a very positive way with boundaries and constraintsAgain, 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.Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/364

Many web designers don't want to scale. I get it - because I had that mindset too. I never wanted to be an agency with overhead, payroll, extra stress from managing people, etc.But the good news is, especially nowadays, you can scale a web design business your way. In a low-stress, low-pressure way that works for you no matter where your business is in revenue and profitability.Sandy Burns, a founding member of my community Web Designer Pro is a perfect example of this. She was on the podcast recently sharing her story of passing 10 years in business and how she (reluctantly) HAD to scale because she had become so overwhelmed with projects.We got to hear from her perspective what it was like to scale and how the timing couldn't have been more crucial because shortly after she began to scale and reduce her workload, she was diagnosed with cancer and immediately began a journey of chemo and cancer treatment.That's one angle of Sandy's story but another one is the other side of her scaling journey. Who did she hire? What was it like for them as she began to send more work their way and when Sandy was diagnosed, what was it like taking over projects and speaking directly to her clients?Well for that, I'm excited to introduce you to Alexis. Another founding member of Pro who was on the podcast a ‘little' while ago when we chatted about her first client experience

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. And I firmly believe how you feel about money today all goes back to your money story – and every one of us has a money story largely based on how we were raised.When you build a web design business, you probably don't realize that you're subconsciously making business decisions based on your money story. And if that story isn't pretty…well…it makes sense why it's hard to charge your worth, raise your rates, build profit, sell with confidence, etc.So to take a deep dive into the psychology of money and to most importantly, to help you build your business with a mindset of plenty and opportunity, I'm pumped to bring on someone who's changed their money story from scarce to plenty…Austin Church. He's the author of the book Free Money - a Guide to Pricing Your Services so You Can Unlock a Better Lifestyle.His book was referred to me as a MUST READ from a trusted colleague and let me tell ya, after this conversation, I have to agree. Austin's approach to changing your money mindset is a must for creative business owners. Especially if you don't come from money.
