from Websites Made Simple: How to have a successful website design business
Ready to vent with me? I’m Holly Christie, website designer, mentor, and straight-talking website design advocate. This week I’m torch-lighting the five shady moves that keep giving our craft a black eye. In 20 punch-packed minutes you’ll hear me:Call out those 'custom' builds that are nothing more than slapped-on Elementor templates Drag the timeline-promise-breakers who ghost after pocketing the deposit Expose the radio-silence communicators and teach you how to lock them down with a rock-solid client contract Rant about the 'pretty-over-perform' crowd who ignore tech, security, and UX fundamentals Swat the copy-paste lurkers hijacking your LinkedIn posts for clout.Plus one bonus AI-built-site myth-buster you can’t miss By the end, you’ll have a clearer playbook for protecting your reputation and your clients’ results. No sleaze required. Grab your earbuds, hit play, then snag my Website Designer Contract Pack to keep every project (and payment) on track.Mentioned in this episode:Websites Made Simple CoursesRemember to sign up for our blogging masterclass!Go to https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/masterclassBlogging masterclass
