Meet Josh - Founder of Web Designer Pro™
I fumbled into the web design industry after getting laid off from my job as a cabinet maker in 2009. And it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. It was the event I needed to dip my toe into entrepreneurship and start my own business. It was hard, it was messy but it was awesome.
I was a freelance web designer turned web business owner for over a decade before selling my agency in 2020 to take my little passion project of helping other web designers build their own business full time.
That little passion project led to an entire suite of web design courses, a YouTube channel with millions of views and the #1 podcast for web design business. I've combined all my courses, trainings, community, network and what I've learned in generating over 2 million dollars as an entrepreneur into Web Desginer Pro.
I'm commited to helping you build a profitable web design business that suits your goals, your lifestyle and one that gives you time and financial freedom. And most importantly, we're going to do it sustainably and have some fun too!
