Hear how these students are booking five figure projects and creating five-figure revenue months.

Kate, Lauren and Leigh share their experience in the Web Designer Academy and how it transformed their web design businesses.

"I've made my investment in the WDA 5 times over at this point."

“I leapt and trusted the process, and I’m a little overwhelmed with how much I’ve changed since joining.”

AMY OGden - DRIFTING ART DESIGNS

"I've made my money back and more."

“There’s no way to fail at this unless you don’t do it.”

"I'm consistently making $10K a month."

“I successfully found my niche and what words speak to them, learned how to market myself in a way that doesn’t feel cringy, instead it feels easy and natural. My clients don’t want to stop working with me once we launch their site! I’ve since landed multiple retainer clients that I LOVE and am booked out for months in advance!”

BARB | INFINITY BRAND DESIGN

"I make more now than any day job I ever had, even working in corporate America."

“I get to stay home, pick up my kids from school, go on all the field trips. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.”

ALEX EDWARDS, ALEX EDWARDS WEB + DESIGN

"I'm booking 5-figure clients and having 5-figure months."

“Immediately my income started to increase because I started valuing myself and my work and asking for higher prices. I thought that once I raised my prices I would lose some clients, but they all agreed to it.”

LEIGH SCOTT, ZAINATAIN DESIGN + CONSULTING

So today I'm literally in the best mood, and I've just been messaged my a local business owner who wants some help with her site! Her website was built on Webflow (brilliant, cause that's what I use) but she needs some pages added and some layouts changed, so I'm looking for some advice on pricing.

Full Text: shared a link. · 18h . 8 I completely rewrote my web copy and restructured pages of my own website, to speak more directly to my new niche (coaches). I added packages and "starting from" prices. I also added a calendar to accept appointments online. I launched this morning after a super fun Zoom meeting with a new client (#smallwin for that as well). This evening I got a FB message of someone I never even "chased" online in my regular FB groups, saying she didn't find a time slot in my calendar that fit her schedule, and she asked if there are other days I'm available on. I can finally see the value of niching down. Clients knocking on MY door instead of me chasing them down. I was so afraid before I decided to go all in for this niche, but I followed my inner compass. Thanks Shannon for helping me out with my niche! C

A couple of things to remember as you read our testimonials… Results are NOT typical! These web designers have gone all in on themselves, show up, push through challenges, ask for help instead of retreating, don’t give up the first time something doesn’t go as expected and NEVER say they don’t have the time to reach their goals. While we know them personally, we have not independently verified their statements for accuracy.

A person wearing a fashionable accessory is smiling in a park surrounded by trees, plants, and grass.

"I just booked a $9000 project."

“I joined the Web Designer Academy originally to learn the business processes…but the biggest transformation I’ve had is going from feeling like a total impostor who “can’t charge that much for a website” to knowing that what I can bring to the table provides value to my client.

In the beginning I was charging $500 for a website. I just booked a $9000 project. My husband was dancing in the kitchen when I told him!”

"I booked a new client at 5x the rate I was charging before I joined the Web Designer Academy".

“I have so much more confidence in knowing the value that I bring is worth the price that I’m asking – that has been really big for me.

When I think about what’s included in the Web Designer Academy, it’s like, ‘This is the holy grail. This is all the language that I need, this is the guidance that I need.’ And the community is such an asset to the program, it helps so much with my confidence.”

"I raised my rates by 4x - and got a yes."

“Signing up for the Web Designer Academy was the greatest decision I ever made! It has all the pieces of the puzzle that I felt I’d been missing, and I was able to stop my part-time consulting and focus on full-time designing!

Before joining I didn’t fully understand the value that I bring to my clients! That was a big piece of the puzzle for me: not undervaluing my services and learning to value what I can bring to the table.

Before joining I really struggled with marketing, and the Web Designer Academy laid it out for me, and I’m just followed along and things just fell into place! I love it!”

"I'm amazed at the progress I've made in just a few short months!"

After joining the program, I gained so much more confidence.

When I do consultations now I actually have a script, I know how to talk about what I’m offering, why I’m offering it and why it’s worth my price. And I know how to stand my ground on my pricing, that’s been a big shift I’ve been able to make! It’s been amazing.

My pricing is like night and day now! I’m charging 5x-7x more than I was before!

"I have the confidence to know I can run a business."

“I had experience with building websites, but I didn’t know how to run a business doing it. My struggle was knowing how to take a person from when you first engaged with them to onboarding to off-boarding and everything in between.

Just knowing the community is there, that if I have a question about business or a project or a client that I WILL get an answer – just knowing I have ‘backup’ helps me a lot with the confidence of knowing that I can ‘go out into the wild’ and be okay!”

"The past year has been amazing."

“A lot of the training that I was looking at showed me how to design websites, but I really wanted to know how to run my business. And I struggled with my pricing – like “Am I pricing too high? Do I know enough to charge that much?

Since joining I’ve been working with agencies and providing proposals for $15,000 websites. I’ve never done that before! And only because I now know how to price! I keep going back to those modules every time I send a proposal to make sure that I’ve covered everything – it makes me feel so confident in delivering them!”
