Web Design Business with Josh Hall

This episode is a recent coaching call I had with two members from my community Web Designer Pro™, all about going full-time with your web design business. Alexia [https://visualvibedesign.com/] JUST went full-time at the time of publishing this episode and Ben [https://forredwebdesign.com/] went full-time in Dec of 2024, so it was great hearing both of their perspectives about lessons learned going full-time with them having just done it. What’s particularly of note is the mental shift when opening up an additional 20, 30 or 40 hours a week of freedom along with the challenges that most web designers aren’t aware of after the fun and excitement of going full-time wears off. Excited to hear how this one helps, especially if you’re gearing up to go full-time with your web design biz!

Great to have Chris “the self-made web designer” back on the podcast! Aside from casual catch-up and web shop talk, we get into where the web industry is today compared to when we first entered the industry years ago. Chris has a unique perspective as a freelance web designer who got most of his work through Upwork, and, with his work with ShowIt, sees a different part of the market than what I often do with WordPress.

I just launched a new DNS Course for Web Designers [https://webdesignerpro.com/dns-course-for-web-designers/], specifically to help you get a 101, foundational understanding of all things domains, DNS records, email, security, performance, etc. It replaced what was formerly my cPanel course. It’s a short, snappy, “what you need to know” DNS course without getting too technical or overwhelming. In this podcast episode, I’m giving you a little teaser! Included in the episode: 1. A few personal DNS horror stories (to illustrate how important it is to know this stuff as a web designer) 2. The most popular lesson so far on ‘Domain Types’ 3. And I’m even including the DNS Checklist [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ljg33CLj5B-amyq53n7g3dsB-GmUx9eOU5VBfj4sr6E/edit?usp=sharing] from the course FOR FREE! Think of it as your DNS SOP for you and your team. Again, be sure to download the DNS Checklist [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ljg33CLj5B-amyq53n7g3dsB-GmUx9eOU5VBfj4sr6E/edit?usp=sharing] I’ve made available to you for free. It also includes a special offer if you’d like to dive into the full course! Show notes at joshhall.co/393 [https://joshhall.co/393] Loving the Web Design Business podcast?

Repeat guest and founding member of Web Designer Pro™, Marie Brown, is back on the podcast, sharing what’s working for her with getting clients through Instagram. And she offers a much-needed reminder that, even if clients don’t mark down “found you on social media,” it doesn’t mean it’s not working. The more touch points you have and the more you stay top of mind, the more likely you’ll land more clients.

In the Summer of 2020, I made a huge decision…to sell my agency In Transit Studios and go full-time into web design online education. In this episode, I’m reflecting (5 years later) and sharing some lessons learned on the things I would do again and things I’d do differently.
