i found you a while back from your “wine and design” series and it’s been so awesome to see your growth over these years! I also loved the editing on this video, so good!!!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your design process 🙏 You've mentioned that you use Showit and WordPress, but I was wondering if you also use Webflow for your projects. If yes, could you please share your thoughts on those platforms and how they benefit you in the process..
Hi Megan! Just discovered your channel and it’s so inspiring! I was wondering if you’re self-taught, or if you have any course recommendations? Thanks so much 🥰
thank you so much@@nataliedibona6449 ! I am mainly self taught and just learned through youtube! I also have a bunch of courses that I have created for beginners: meganweeksdesignco.thinkific.com/
How does working with your copywriter work? Do you refer them to your Copy Writer or do you use them and pay them or does the client pay them? What does that process look like? Same with the Developer, how does that work? Do you pay for their services to do that for your client? Do you charge your client for this additional service?
I would always recommend that you as the leader of the project hire the copywriter and the developer as part of the package budget. In the eyes of the client you are a team of professionals that work together in a project with you as the leader. So any costs of copywriter and developer has to be included in the budget. Then i recommend that you make the copywriter take part in some of your meetings with the client so he can have a good idea of what the project's objective is from the mouth of the client him/herself, that way you won't waste time explaining everything to your copywriter again and again. In a perfect world (and many times i do it with the permission of the client) one would record the important meeting so you can later recall useful and important information. Cheers.
how do you manage scope creep? and "hypercare"? maybe after a week the client comes back to you with some issues, what's your maximum duration to accept that added work?
I want to be self-employed as a web designer and came across your videos! Your website and journey are inspiring! How do you manage several clients at the same time? After creating the mock-up on Figma, do you entirely stick to the design when designing on the different website builders?
Thank you for sharing this process! I am hoping to transition to web design soon! I was wondering do you not add wireframing as a step before the design stage to agree on page layouts with your client?
Part of the questionnaire I send asks them about the pages/navigation and we brainstorm that a bit before. Then the figma/mockup phase is what I consider the wireframe part!
@@MeganWeeks That's awesome! How long does that take you? I want to start getting better at designing since I have more of a coding background. I feel like the designing part of this whole process takes me way too long
Hey i loved this tutorial but i didnt really see any coverage or tutorials of how you actually can change the ownership of the created website to your client, how you change the ownership of the domain and such practical things? Thank you :)
Maybe there might be a perfect AI figma-to-code plugin that turns designs into proper functional code without the need for refactoring almost the whole line of code because the AI didn’t do a good job, but for now that plugin doesn’t exist yet. I’ve used a majority of them including “locofy”, you still have to go in and clean the WHOLE code up!… I’m also a web dev
I have a question that would definitely help along the way… how do you keep all your clientele’s information private without being sued or without using a refund policy??
@@panashechamunorwa8547 I offer wix with my agency, this means new projects are with this tool and the clients are looking for a website and dont really know or care where or how it works. I also hang around in facebook groups so I can see people who are looking for help on their own website, after you have built a certain amount of websites or worked as a dev or designer for others wix lets you get into their partner program, where you get leads directly from them (every user that is trying to get make a website gets a "hire are a professional" button)
hello pretty thanks you sooooooooo much for this value but note that you really need a professional video editor to take your videos tot the next level let me know if you want some information thanks for your attention ❤
A week is a crazy turnaround amazing work
I love it, would it be possible for you to share a full real example with a client? Btw super helpful video, thanks!

I have not used webflow but interested in learning it! I prefer WordPress and Showit for all my clients @@myraveyworkshop

What do you use for your logos and icons on client websites? Do you make them yourself?
@@ChicagoCreativeWebDesigns yes I design them myself 🥰

Thank you so much for this❤❤
hey can u plz make a tutorial on framer plz cause is like figma and its easy that word press according to me
Hey i loved this tutorial but i didnt really see any coverage or tutorials of how you actually can change the ownership of the created website to your client, how you change the ownership of the domain and such practical things? Thank you :)
I’ll make a video specifically about this! 😊
Ever considered framer ? I think it would match your process very well !
I'm a web developer, that ai Figma plugin that will turn your design into functional code already exists.
What’s it called
@@ARONRUSTY30 locofy ai
Me too I want to know how it’s called! Sorry for my poor english

How long would does it typically take from discovery call to the kick-off of design? Thanks!
is it possible to design it on figma and transfer it to Wordpress website? or import it?
I simply cant with wordpress. Prefer wix so I can custom build the backend in js
how do you get clients?

Whos your developer?
how much do you charge from the start to finish(web design and developing the site)?
how do y’all get clients?
Literally that is my question as well
Can I use chatgbt to copywrite for my clients?
You’re a baddie
