[REPLAY] Q&A with Josh - Scaling Your Web Design Business

I recently held a live Q&A session for members of my community Web Designer Pro™ all about scaling their web design business in the wake of launching my new course Scale Your Way.
I’m making this available to you so you can get some coaching help from me personally with scaling your web design business as well!
We cover:
✅ What rates to pay subcontractors
✅ Where to find and hire web designer
✅ Whether or not you should raise your rates to account for smaller profit margins

With so many out of the box web design companies, how hard is it to sell custom design? Tired of competing with square and wix sites.

[@derekshort]

Good question

[@JoshHallco]

Hey Kirk - custom sites are so much more than just the design no matter what the tool or builder.
Strategy, custom graphics, conversion based design, messaging and copy, SEO, email deliverability, training if client has access, etc are just a handful of aspects to an awesome website that a builder or ai tool is only going to hit the basics on.
Wix, SS, AI builders or any template based off a builder are great for starters sites and low-end sites but there’s soooo many businesses who need a truly custom site and more importantly, a trusted web designer.
Will be interesting to see SEO results from more “out of the box” style site over the years.
