- Ep. 329 - I recently caught up with my friend Shannon Mattern, fellow web design business coach who has a group coaching program called The Web Designer Academy. We often talk off-the-record but decided to record our most recent catch up, an honest conversation about what’s working for web designers in 2024.
Shannon and I are both in a unique position to be able to oversee many web designers, some early on in the journey making less than six figures and some who are established web biz owners running six and multi-six figure agencies. So we both have a good pulse on what’s working for web designers today. And that’s why I’m extra excited to let you in on our recent catch up.
Some of the topics explored are:
- What tends to hold web designers back from 100k
- What designers who are making 250k-500k+ are doing
- Tips for getting past pricing mind trash
- Thoughts on niching by gender (or whether you should niche by personality type)
- Web designer work life balance tips and a whole lot more
Personally, I love having conversations with friends in the industry with no specific topic, agenda and I hope you do as well! If you do, leave us a comment for this one at joshhall.co/329 to share your thoughts.

Awesome episode! You touched on so many topics I was wondering about or struggling with. Thanks!
Awesome to hear @alain_laroche!!
Josh asks the BEST questions! One of the many reasons I love chatting with Josh and coming on the show.
@46:55 like that:
Stop People pleasing, if they do NOT pay you (if they only want to grab your resources, knowledge, and time without paying for.
@34:55 "to stay where you are and get what you want..." is an interesting approach of making it feel easier to go into a change, even if this is not really true ;-)
@47:50 Excellent change questions by Shannon @profitablewebdesigner
“Why you feel you need to do that?”
and
“How can we get you to change while not feeling unsafe to change this behaviour?”
OMG this podcast opened so much my mind, what I can only say is that I need help
@URRIBARRIJN what area(s) do you need most help with? We both have a ton of free resources.
I think people have thought of Shannon as the female version of Josh and vice versa. 😅It’s a compliment in my book.
@derekshort agreed - a huge compliment!
I take that as a huge compliment too 🤩
@36:42 I was wondering about that. Lol. I saw spelling and grammar errors.
3:42 LOL 😆
1:03:44 Whoa 😮What happened? Lol
