Websites Made Simple: How to have a successful website design business1 Jun

Why you need to outsource in your website design business

If you're putting in the work, showing up, doing everything you can — and still turning over the same amount of money year on year — this episode is for you.

It's a supportive group mentoring session for website designers and developers to bring their questions, roadblocks, ideas, and "is it just me?" moments.

Hi and welcome to another episode of Websites Made Simple with me, Holly Christie.

In this episode, I'm talking about the money mindset patterns that can sometimes keep web designers stuck, what it actually means to outsource and invest in your business, and how to get out of your own way so you can finally start earning what you deserve.

We get into:

Why so many web designers drop their prices before the client has even had a chance to respond
The power of the pause
Why payment plans for hosting and maintenance are non-negotiable recurring revenue
What a money mindset ceiling looks like, and why it keeps you stuck at the same figure
The real maths behind outsourcing to a VA
Why website designers bottleneck their own businesses
My personal story of working every evening after the kids went to bed
How to get out of your own way, stop doing everything yourself, and start running a business that actually works for you

If you're working hard but not seeing the financial results to match, this episode will show you exactly what's holding you back — and it might just be you.
