404 - Web Designer Pro turns 5 (Q&A with Josh & Members)

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

Happy 5th Birthday Web Designer Pro® 🥳

What started on November 4th, 2020, as a small coaching community for 30+ of my top course students has become a leader in the web design business-coaching space and one of Circle's most highly engaged communities.

It's a testament to the AMAZING members who show up every week to help, support, and encourage each other, as web designers at all stages, to grow their web businesses together.

It's an honor to lead this thing, and I can safely say – 5 years in and we're just getting going!🎉

This special edition podcast episode is the replay from our recent live Q&A with Coaching Tier members of Pro, celebrating the milestone. Many of whom are original founding members who’ve been in since day one!

Questions range from community building, if I miss designing websites for clients, podcasting, offers/pricing, how to do YouTube to get clients and much more.
