Master The Art of Designing Websites That Demand High Prices

oes this sound like you?

You can spot an amazing website when you see one, but you have a hard time creating that kind of work on your own.

You don’t feel like you have what it takes to create websites you could confidently charge high prices for.

You cringe every time you face a blank canvas, and can’t break up with templates and comparing yourself to other designers.

You dread client calls because you struggle to justify your rates, communicate your value, and explain why clients should hire you.

You want to master all that goes into creating stunning websites, but there’s just not enough time to go through all the design blogs out there and read the Everest-sized pile of design books on your nightstand.

You feel stuck with micro-managing clients that want you to do exactly as they say, inevitably leading to average designs.

And above all, you want to create awesome work that moves the needle for your clients – and gets you paid accordingly. 

Introducing

I’ve bottled up my battle-tested, step-by-step process to plan, design, and deliver beautiful, high-value websites.

The $10K Website Process is the exact method I’ve built up from 17 years of experience as a web designer, and applying what works to generate over $200,000 in yearly revenue from web design projects.

After this course, you’ll be able to…

• Hold strategy sessions with your clients
• Strategically design beautiful websites
• Tell compelling stories with your designs
• Position yourself as a high-value expert
• Lead design, content, and development in your projects
• Confidently work with $10K clients
• Deliver delightful user experiences through your websites
• Ditch the template and own your craft with unique layouts and bold visuals

It’s design school, minus 4 years

Plus practical knowledge and insights from real life projects

The $10K Website Process course includes 66 videos (over 12 hours of video content!) that SHOW you exactly how I design beautiful, strategic websites for my clients.

This isn’t a compilation of design tips or inspiration websites for you to borrow ideas from. You can find that anywhere.

I’m going deeper and giving you a comprehensive look into the exact process, best practices, and methodologies I use to design $10K (and 20k and 30K) websites in my own business.
