Are you using word press to design your sites?
Can I ask which client portal software you use pls š
Hi, where do you make the client portal, any other tips about it?
But do you charge your clients for the copywriter who needs to get paid? Content us the hardest… my clients usually write it themselves but it often takes ages.
I like to design off the copy so the client isn't restricted in any way and in my opinion the design should be designed around the copy, not the other way round – as the content is what's most important.
Thinking about a solution… maybe I offer them to design with notes so I know what copy needs to be in there and it helps them to finish the copy when having a design structure.
It was very interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
You did not mention anything about keyword researchs and SEO configuration, what I believe is also fundamental. Could you share how you deal with this part of a project once I suppose it belongs to some of the steps you so nicely presented in your ebook?
This is so cool! Thanks Megan. One question – when you create 2 or 3 versions of design for landing page, do you also create moodboards for the client so they could pick the mood they want, or, do you let them choose design keywords that represent the mood they want? Which way do you think is more effective if you have tried both?
Thanks for the amazing video!
Do you pay the copywriter as part of your fee or does the client pay them separately?
Good introduction ā¤ u!
weed and breed!
How much minimum do we charge for a web redesign?
Hi Megan,
Great video! I enjoyed it.
I have a quick question about how you launch the clientās website? Do you build it under your account, then transfer it over? What is the process involved in that?
Regards,
Ash
What about your clients photos?
How do you create your client portal?
Do i need to learn how to code in order to start building websites ???š®
How did you build a client portal?
Invest in your business to elevate it! I design modern websites.
Random question, why don't you design straight in Showit?
Massive thanks for this web hosting info! Ive skilled Hostinger and Hostwinds, but Cloudways with TST20 coupoun is the jackpot!
What if the client doesn't provide the required feedback on time?
I need your help I deff was just scammed š
At this point they have my $ for a package I purchased, which is design develop the hole 9. Then 2 days later Iām
Called by the āVPā saying I need too purchase a Dedicated server/host.. from them of course as you can imagine not cheap. I said āno thank I donāt think itās needed for me, I will only have local foot traffic and yes I understand thereās risk involved but i high quality shared server that provides protection will make senseā the response was āno I will not work with shared servers this is all we can do and we need to do this now we are running out of time and all of our hard work will be erased itās on a timerā. From there I stated he sounds like heās full of shit all you showed me of completed work was a simple template.. with my business or anything about me on it. Please help and educate me a little about hosting and am I being bamboozled? I even ask āokay well i canāt afford this random cost thatās 2x more, so donāt host it for me please just send me the files . He asked how can I do that? No itās not possible. So my only option is to now pay you 2x more.. hope you see this thank
You
What about the sales call, where you pitch them?

Hi Megan, I'm a UI/UX Designer and have designed websites and apps myself. I have two quiestions –
One is where do you get inspiration from for your designs? I see you directly jumped into designing in XD vs creating moodboards, flows, sketches/wireframes etc which is what we UX designers typically do before doing the mockups (Visual UI designs).
My other question is how many clients/projects do you take on at a time knowing that you take 10-12 weeks per website. How many hours do you dedicate per day/week for a website?
I'm looking to start my own business and always wonder how others do it all. š
Thank you!
What tools do you use to make a client portal ?
This is really showing me the value of having great customer service. I'll definitely be implementing that
Very informative with every step explained so clearly! Thank you so much it's super helpful!
what does she use to design ?
Do you have web design course (not with web development)? I am interested to join your course, however, I see it also includes content on developing websites with Divi, I never use that Theme, so I am asking whether you offer design course with sole web design
I just subscribed. Bummer that your contract template is no longer available.
Great videos Megan. I have a question. Does the client have to have an adobe Creative Cloud account to communicate on Adobe XD?
Thank you this was very helpful
Thanks for sharing your process and experience! š really helpful
Video is called 'design process", but there's 99% shit talking about nothing
keep it up, your content is SO useful
I cant lie Websites can long to do but I think once you get around it is much fun.
Ma'am, do you take intents? Or do you do one on one mentorship?
Wooowww, so much value and on point!!!! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
