This is a first – and a very special guest for the podcast because it’s an interview with one of my best web design clients! Gary Sigrist, founder and CEO of Safeguard Risk Solutions hired me back in 2012 to do branding, graphic and web design for his new company. What he didn’t know at that time was that I was very green and new to the industry. Fast forward to 2026, his company is STILL a client of my agency In Transit Studios and he remains one of our best clients to date. We did into: ...

Imagine getting handed a project of sifting, sorting and organizing over 10,000 emails 😮 As a web design business owner, that probably sounds like a nightmare. But there are people in the world who actually enjoy this type of work. And for creatives, they are a DREAM to partner up with and hire. This is the story of how Jess Lindgren began working with online-entrepreneur legend Pat Flynn. He was drowning in over 10,000 emails, and needed, not only ongoing virtual assistance support, but s...

A special interview here for a few reasons: This one is in-person so it has a completely different feel, dynamic and I have to admit, I LOVED it. Definitely inspiring me to do more in-person interviews with local colleagues.My guest (Web Designer Pro member Andy Milligan) just took his agency to 200k+ in revenue in 2025 from 30k in 2024. So massive growth, however, it came at a cost. We dig into the stressful side of quick success. Andy asked awesome questions and we got into some topics...

I think there’s a misunderstanding of the term “solopreneuer” in that, when you think about that term, you probably think about being “alone.” At least I did. Until this conversation. I had a light bulb moment in this chat with Maggie Patterson, author of the book “Staying Solo” with this very idea that you can be a solopreneur while not being an alonepreneur. Some of the happiest, most balanced and most profitable entrepreneurs and web biz owners I know are somewhere in the middle of alo...

I’m not gonna lie…I needed this chat. In an era where there’s so much emphasis on growth plans (like SEO, CRO, Email Marketing, Ads, Social, etc), it’s easy to second-guess yourself or just abandon web design completely if you prefer to just build awesome websites and support that work. Well good news, just offering high-converting web design + hosting and maintenance plans is still a VERY VIABLE model in 2026 and beyond.

The landscape of website builders has evolved so much since I got started in 2010 and you know what else has evolved? Web designers. Building high-converting, well-designed professional websites is still at the core of most web designer studios and agencies but the landscape is evolving now to where, in my experience, clients are relying on web designers to help make sense of the scattered online world and to help them drive traffic, leads and customers to their website. This means an...

As a web designer, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of people ask “is AI going to take your job?” Well, my position is firmly NO. But one adjacent part of the industry I was curious/cautious about is copywriting. After all, I’m primarily using AI for copywriting and messaging help these days. To hear how copywriters are surviving, even thriving in an AI world, here’s copywriter for web designers Nikki Thompson who shares everything she’s implementing today!

Hi Josh just wanted to take a moment to leave you an honest review. One of my new year's resolutions for 2022 was to listen to more podcasts, and ever since the beginning of 2022, I have been listening to your podcast consistently. It is quite difficult finding another person who is well versed in both the Divi theme and the business side of website design. Although I've been a self employed WordPress website developer and designer (who specializes in the Divi theme), I'm always open to how I can make my business better. I have gained so many useful insights from listening to your episodes. It's about a 20 - 30 minute commute from my home to my coworking space, and if I get stuck in traffic or something, this creates the perfect opportunity to tune in to your latest episode. Before 2022 ends, I'll be making some adjustments to my overall online business thanks to the beneficial audio content you've put out. Keep doing what you're doing!
Brilliant info ✌
I want to say thank you to Josh, primarily for putting the content out that he does on this Podcast. It's helped me maintain excitement for the future in this industry, when it's likely I could have let that fizzle out. Not only has he helped me stay excited and engaged, but I've taken away a lot of awesome nuggets from this show, so again, thank you.
I've been on the fence about making a major change in the way I track data. Like all major changes, I needed to learn more before making my decision. Josh just released a podcast...and BOOM!... the information I had been looking for to help make my decision was right there! Thanks for keeping your tribe informed - you do us all a great service!
