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!

FAQs
Do I have to use your tools?
While I use ManageWP, there are many other alternatives mentioned. The lessons are built in a way that you can take the templates and use the tools you like. Or you can follow my toolbox exactly 🙂
Do I have to use WordPress to benefit from this course?
This course is a "behind the scenes look" at my maintenance plan which is geared around WordPress. Particularily for updating plugins, security, hosting, etc. However, many students who use Webflow, SquareSpace, WixStudio, etc have benefited from the course and learned how to craft their own "website support plan."
Is there a refund policy?
No – since the courses, training and resources inside of Pro are vast, and value-packed. Because you get thousands of dollars worth of value as soon as you sign in, we cannot offer refunds. We ask that you be sure you’re committed and that it’s not a financial burden before you join.
