329 - An Honest Conversation with Shannon Mattern on What's Working for Web Designers in 2024

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

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.
