What You Get:
You’ll create a repeatable, top-notch client experience.
Inside PWD you’ll have scripts, canned emails, plug-and-play templates and Dubsado tech tutorials that show you how to automate and streamline your client processes from start to finish. Every single project will get the same thoughtful touchpoints, support and attention from you!
You’ll realize you’re not “just” designing a website for clients.
I’m gonna help you uncover all the work you put into your projects so you can see just how much you’re pouring into each and every client. Once you understand that you’re not “just” designing a website, you’ll realize your services deserve higher prices. I have exercises and lessons in the course to help you articulate your value to clients, too 🙂
You’ll increase the value of your services by offering better website designs.
Inside PWD you’ll get access to two major value-adds that allow you to increase your prices: copywriting support and website strategy. It’ll be kinda hard not to charge (or build up to) $5k+ for your services!
