During her time working with us Barb accomplished a few big goals:
Alex literally replaced her full-time day job income 4 months into working with us and is making more as a full-time web designer than she ever did in any corporate job she ever had before.
“Immediately my income started to increase because I started valuing myself and my work and asking for higher prices,” Leigh said. “I thought that once I raised my prices I would lose some clients, but they all agreed to it.”
You stop undercharging (or never start in the first place) and you confidently make offers that reflect the value you bring to the table… and your clients are happy to pay you!
You know what to say to get their attention, and you confidently put yourself out there with simple marketing strategies that don’t require blogging, being on social media 24/7 or running ads.
You are 1000% sold on the value you bring to the table and what’s possible for your clients when working with you that you don’t even blink when making a premium offer.
You stop being an overworking people pleaser, and you know exactly how to handle formerly “awkward” situations with confidence.
You don’t just know how to get clients, how to make premium offers, get yesses and run projects like a pro – you’re only working when you want to.
You’re part of a community of super smart, talented web designers with unique experiences and skills – who love to support each other and want to help everyone win.

“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!”
There was a month where I was thinking through it all, like, ‘Do I want to invest in this? I don’t really have the money coming in right now to do it…’ Immediately after joining my income started to increase because I started valuing myself and my work and asking for higher prices,” Leigh said. “I thought that once I raised my prices I would lose some clients, but they all agreed to it.”

With the Web Designer Academy
This program is very intentionally designed to be a 12 month program. During that time you’ll create premium packages, raise your prices, and book new clients at your new prices while working on your mindset every step of the way.
Access all of our templates, swipe copy, resources and high-impact training videos inside our private portal. Includes access to more than 70+ templates, scripts and swipe copy for every piece of client communication, 10+ “done for you” web design packages, processes and timelines, 20+ tools to help you with branding, pricing, packages, and so much more!
You’ll connect with the other super-smart, successful web designers who are members of this exclusive program. You’ll be surrounded with people who are where you want to be and get to ask them questions and get support from our team in our private group. Here you’ll meet your biz besties, the people that have your back with tech questions, client issues and how to handle any kind of situation you encounter on your journey.
Each week, we have high level coaching calls together. This is where we will discuss strategy, overcome challenges, go deep into developing your money mindset and fix any issues in your packages, pricing, marketing, offers, systems + boundaries.
Whether you want to get your first client in the first 30 days, or you want to get some systems in place to take your time back so you have space to implement our strategies, or you want to start by building a strong foundation, we tell you exactly where to start based on your unique goals. Even though it’s a group program, we recognize everyone has unique needs and our program is structured to give you personalized guidance in a group setting.
Whether you’ve worked with clients or not, we’ll walk you through a process to internalize your value as a web designer, get crystal clear on who YOU will work and who you won’t, set premium prices and create packages that transform you from pixel-pushing order taker to expert status (without the impostor syndrome).
You’ll learn how to find your premium clients and implement a simple, 3-step strategy for marketing your business. We’ll completely re-imagine and re-frame how you present offers, and you’ll learn how to incentivize your clients to not put off the decision to work with you.
You’ll get paid as you go to put systems and processes in place to streamline and systematize your projects to save you tons of time, then you’ll expertly and effortlessly lead your client through the project, while knowing exactly how to handle any surprises along the way.
You’ll implement our proven one-to-one and one-to-many marketing strategies to get new clients, referrals and plant the seeds for future clients so you can get booked out and create consistent revenue and a full-time income.
“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 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!”
“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!”

A couple of things to remember as you read our testimonials… 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.
This is where answer your unique questions, discuss strategy, overcome obstacles, upgrade your mindset and strategize on your niche, packages, pricing, offers, marketing, projects + client issues.
We want to review your work – your packages, offers, marketing and more – to make sure you’ve captured every nuance of our strategy so that you’re set up for success. No more guessing or reverse-engineering what everyone else is doing with lackluster results.
This is your wolf-pack, your ride-or-die, your biz besties. This is an exclusive community of super-smart web designers who have been where you are and are going where you want to go – any want nothing more than to see you win. You don’t need to “have all the answers” when you have them as your backup! From tech questions to advice to needing a pep talk before making your biggest offer ever, this group has your back.
“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!”
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!
“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!”

Q: What if I can’t get clients?
A: It is inevitable that there will be times in your web design business that getting clients is easier than others.
The skill of getting clients – and the skill of troubleshooting when you’re not getting clients – are two of the most valuable skills you can develop, and we’re right there by your side to guide you through it.
We teach a simple, step-by-step process for getting new clients and projects that has resulted in hundreds of new clients and projects for our students – and we also show you how to troubleshoot common mistakes when you’re not booking new clients.
While we can’t predict when you will get a new client, we know that the quicker you follow our process, the quicker you get coaching on any mindtrash that’s in your way of putting yourself out there, the quicker you give us a chance to look at your marketing and give you feedback on what to adjust and you make those changes, the quicker you keep track of your data and make data-driven decisions, the quicker you’ll get new clients and projects.
