I’m the designer, educator, and unapologetic nerd who tames the chaos in systems & client processes for new & scrappy solo designers & freelancers. After years of freelancing myself with no clue, no real systems and a whole lotta self-doubt, I ditched perfectionism, leaned into messy action, and built a business that’s now supported HUNDREDS of creatives around the world. If you’re ready to get organized, get visible, and actually launch the damn thing? I’m ya girl. 💻⚡
One of the hardest parts of running a web design business? Doing it without real numbers or benchmarks to guide you. Everyone’s guessing what to charge, wondering if they’re doing it “right,” and secretly hoping someone else has it all figured out.
So last year, we asked.
My friend & fellow web designer, Diane Whiddon, & I are two web designers with decades in the business. Last year we ran the first-ever Web Designer's Financial Survey in Q1 of 2025.
This year we're running it again! The survey is a real look at how web designers are actually doing—financially, strategically, and emotionally—in 2026. We're asking about rates, revenue, AI, education, and the oh-so-fun world of business expenses. The more responses we get (anonymous), the clearer the picture will be of what’s working, what’s wobbly, and where we go from here.
Yup. No strings! You'll be redirected to the survey without joining our email lists.
If you like it though, make sure ya come back & do that because –and I don't mean to brag– I'm pretty cool & I think you'll like it here. 😏😎 LOL #justsayin
