It's happening live on Friday, December 6th from 1-3PM Eastern (and it's by invitation only).

  • Wants to get booked out with dream clients (instead of just taking whatever work comes your way because you "need the money")...
  • Are great at what you do but feel stuck in the “feast or famine” cycle of inconsistent projects and income.
  • Is ready to create a sustainable, thriving business in 2025 that aligns with your lifestyle and goals.
  • Wants to make more money while working fewer hours, focusing on the clients and projects you truly enjoy.

Hi, I'm Shannon Mattern, and I'm a business coach for women web designers.

As a web designer, you've invested a significant amount of time and money developing your web design skills so you can help your clients get better results…

But as a business owner, there's a completely different set of skills to learn so that your web design business creates freedom and financial independence for you… instead of trapping you.

For nearly 10 years, I've helped hundreds of women web designers just like you stop undercharging and overdelivering and take back control to create profitable, sustainable, fulfilling freelance web design businesses.

I can't wait to show you exactly how we can help you at the live, invitation-only training on Friday, December 6th.

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!

I reached my minimum baseline revenue in just 90 days. I remember listening to Shannon’s training, and it felt like she was speaking exactly to me. Immediately after joining my income started to increase because I started valuing myself and my work and asking for higher prices.

If you're serious about building something for yourself as a web designer, I don't think there's another program out there like this. 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. I've watched a lot of webinars and read a lot of sales pages. The Web Designer Academy is so comprehensive, it's A-Z. It's a web design business in a box. I don't know where I'd be right now without the Web Designer Academy! I'm so proud of myself for taking chances and building something that feels really important to me.

I wake up every day and can't believe this is my business. Joining WDA was the best decision I ever made. I’ve nearly doubled my average income (and it's still growing). Shannon and her team have helped me see myself in new and truly profound ways. I can't even remember who I was before this.

I literally have no words to express my gratitude. I wanted to fall back in love with my business, work less, and enjoy life more. The renewed confidence I have and more have refreshed my mind/spirit and my business - it's been a big, positive transformation.

I feel rejuvenated and I'm not lonely anymore! Entrepreneurship is hard. The highs are high and the lows are low and I think we all deserve a team that can help us feel like we're not alone in the journey. In 2022 I charged $10k for a project, which is 6.5x more than what I charged in 2021.

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. I raised my rates 4x... and got a yes! I was able to stop my part-time consulting and focus on full-time designing!

I was looking for a program to give me that quantum leap, and I found it with the Web Designer Academy. I've booked 8 new clients and launched a course. I’m charging 5x-7x more than I was before and while I’m having less consultations, the ones I get are willing to pay the price because they see the value I’m providing. And that is something that I wouldn't have been able to realize on my own without the Web Designer Academy.

I've been in programs where there were so many students that it was like being trampled in a subway station. The Web Designer Academy is more like a warm living room.

I’ve been working with agencies too and providing proposals for $15,000 websites. The support and training we get in Web Designer Academy empowers us to empower our clients. It helps with those mindset blocks, like “I don't know enough, or I'm not qualified. I haven't done any formal training and I shouldn't be able to charge that much. The group is a huge asset. I’m providing a safety net for our family, and this past year has just been amazing.

The Web Designer Academy is worth everything and so much more - the weekly live calls are always great! Even though I don't get to make the calls live, I always listen to the replay and can find value in each call. Now I actually see the real possibility of being a full-time entrepreneur and being able to be an inspiration to my daughter. I’m so proud of myself for taking that first step.

I just got a client at more than double my old prices. One of the reasons I’m confident in charging more is the fact that I invested in myself by joining this program. It shows how much I care about doing good work for my clients, which instantly sets me apart from most people who say they're web designers - because my skills haven’t changed.

Joining the Web Designer Academy has been a life-changer for me. It allows me to generate much needed extra cash and support the needs of my family. The support I have got from WDA has helped me build a solid definition and framework for my business that allows me to find, sell to and support my clients. The swipe files alone have saved me hours of stress. Shannon's patience and infinite support are invaluable and I truly feel seen, listened to and supported.

The best decision I ever made was joining the Web Designer Academy. I built a business from scratch, I became confident selling my packages, I became more business and marketing savvy, I got out of my comfort zone and started interacting with the world again. I am jazzed every day to return to my laptop, learn a little more, grow a little more, and build a successful business.

I was blown away by the amount of information, clarity and coaching on how to get clients, price my services, set boundaries and grow my business. My ROl in the first year was 14x, and my second year is on track to be the same.

It's 100% worth the money. The Web Designer Academy gives you the structure and the confidence that you need to go forward. And there is so much support. It's so easy to jump in, ask about a situation and multiple people will come back to you. Just do it, it’s 100% worth the money.

When I saw all the templates + processes inside the Web Designer Academy I was sold! Like, that Web Design Project Planner template is insane! Shannon gives us everything we need to run a project. We have a roadmap of what we need to do to from start to finish and it's all mapped out and done for us, and we can tweak it if we want or just use it as-is.
