Description
Profitable Web Designer is the top podcast for women web designers who started their web design business for freedom and fulfillment—but somehow ended up overworked, underpaid, and wondering what went wrong.
If you're a web designer who's tired of saying yes to underpaid web design projects, doubting your prices, or bending over backward to keep clients happy, you're not alone.
Host Shannon Mattern shares the mindset shifts, business strategies, and behind-the-scenes stories web designers like you need to stop overdelivering, raise your prices, and finally create the freedom and income you started your web design business for in the first place.
This podcast is your backstage pass to the coaching, strategies, and transformations happening inside the Web Designer Academy—Shannon’s mentorship program that helps women web designers book higher-paying web design projects without overworking.
👉🏻 Get our Profitable Web Design Business Roadmap Training and find out how to go from undercharging and hustling to booking projects you love (at higher prices than you thought possible) at webdesigneracademy.com/roadmap
