In this week’s episode I’m sharing my keynote presentation from the 2023 Simply Profitable Designer Summit where I reveal 4 shifts we're currently seeing in the web design industry and how you can leverage them!
3 key takeaways from the presentation:
- Just because a business already has a website doesn’t mean they don’t need your services. Every few years they need to keep up with the shifting marketing landscape and make updates.
- We can only control our own thoughts and actions in any economic environment. We can’t control outcomes, not even the outcomes of our actions, but we can control our effort and persistence.
- There’s no such thing as a “better time” to go all in on your business. The best time is always now.
I also talk about:
- Why businesses need websites now more than ever despite a growing number of social media and product sales platforms.
- How to calculate value and why value is always more important than price.
- Why things that used to work are no longer working and how that change is your best friend as a web designer.
