listen to my latest podcast episode:
These ambitious women web designers are committed to their results, persist 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.
Kate, Lauren and Leigh share their experience in the Web Designer Academy and how it transformed their web design businesess.
Kaila, Nay, Kate, Lauren and Erica share their stories. “There's no way to fail at this unless you don't do it. I've made my money back and more.”
“I learned how to market myself in a way that doesn't feel cringy, instead it feels easy and natural. I've since landed multiple retainer clients that I LOVE and am booked out for months in advance!”
“I leapt and trusted the process, and I'm a little overwhelmed with how much I've changed since joining.”
“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.”
“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.”
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 over 8 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.
![In this image, Shannon Mattern is thanking the Web Designer Academy for increasing their knowledge and confidence in web development skills. Full Text: is & feeling confident. 16 hrs Shannon Mattern I just wanted to thank you for all you do for us. Not just the skills we are learning but feeling confident in our abilities to do them. Yesterday, I received a text from a friend asking me if I could recommend a good website developer. In the past, I would have referred them to someone with more expertise and experience. But this time, I immediately responded with "Me." Just what I learned in the 5-day challenge increased my knowledge and confidence significantly. The Web Designer Academy continues to increase my skills and knowing I have you to ask for questions makes me even more confident in my abilities to handle whatever comes up. Thank you! 3 Comments Seen by 21 Like Comment I agree! I had helped an acquaintance get a WordPress site set up and she reached out to me because it had an error on the top. I was able to go in there and troubleshoot, edit the file and fix the error I would not have had the confidence to do that without Shannon's guidance (and a backup @ ).

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.
“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 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.”
“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!”
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 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!”
“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!”
