If you’re overworked, underpaid, and doing every single part of your web design business alone, the problem usually isn’t your skills.

It’s that no one ever showed you how to build the business around the work: how to price it, structure it, and share the load so it actually lasts.

In this episode I mention my Sparks mentoring community. You can join here: https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/sparks-group-mentoring/

Welcome to another episode of Websites Made Simple with me, Holly Christie.

In this episode, I’m talking about how to build a sustainable web design business, one that pays you properly, doesn’t burn you out, and works for you and your clients, whatever stage of your career you’re at.

We get into:

How undercharging and “building a portfolio for free” quietly stalls your business

Why collaboration, not competition, with designers, copywriters and SEO specialists grows your income

Why every website project really starts with copy and brand, not the build

How to work out your offer and review it so it keeps working for you

Why going limited and separating your finances protects you through feast and famine months

Why the money from a website build is business income, not your salary
