This series is what an MBA should be, but instead of done over 2 years, it is done over two hours, which you can watch in loop to understand more and more.
Fantastic contribution, thank you very much.

Amazing content Anna, thank you!
My suggestion would be a full run through of the whole process using the Client Dashboard and the Web Design Workflow. Putting it all together and running through a mock client (or real one) and explaining step by step how to use these tools, in a slower more detailed process. I'm very greatful for these tools and very happy with my purchases but I think a more detailed run through of exactly how to use them would be very beneficial to get the most out of them. To give more clarity, I don't mean a comprehensive guide on how to use Framer, Notion or Figma, these should each be learnt and mastered by ourselves but just putting the process together. I'm working on building a freelance web development company, preparing to go live and have not yet had any client interaction experience, so for people like me I think this would be very helpful.

I’m all in with the basics you mention given my experience, but the WORKFLOW and modern tools and the “myths” made me feel so much more validated. This day and age you have to work smarter not harder. And in my experience 50% is research/kickoffs and check ins, branding, basic messaging, goals…20% memorizing brand guidelines and first wireframe, and presenting base to clients and fine tune. Then the last 30% is the build and and other odds and ends (but make sure the content includes a limited amount of revisions. Which is why step one is CRUCIAL!!!!

This entire series from start to finish jam packed full of valuable content, I honestly can’t thank you enough for sharing this & not gatekeeping. When I first started freelancing web design 5 years ago this channel would have been a God send 😂!
I’m going to start implementing more of your suggestions & elevate my Client Process even more ! Thank you 🙏 🎉

Your explanations are a breath of fresh air. When I first got started with web design business, all information i had access to was so vague. I wondered of those guys did the on purpose. I cant tell you how long it took to decide if I should code a site by hand or use a builder. Kudos to you for being clear and upfront. You'll be helping a lot of people with your confidence and clarity

I am not a web designer but am building my website and being a 3D graphic designer I can tell your step by step + info and advice are gold and are not limited to web design but to design for customers in general from what I know. Very informative and refreshing for me the way you tackle your projects and the timeline without too much overthinking. Thank you for this exposé of good practices!!! It will definitely help me.

[cambridgeautospa]

Please please please can we get a framer tutorial? You explain things so well and it’s all very easy to breakdown and understand

[zggwwxs]

I'm in awe! You are really good as a narrator/mentor and have been extremely helpful. No water at all, just essentials. The channel is definitely worth subscribing to!

[miriamolivier]

This is the content I was looking for. I'm a web designer for me It was more about making the website look pretty and functioning rather than deep diving and really understanding how can I efficiently solve the client's problem. Thank you for this series.

[chatex]

Holy hell. This is by far the most useful video series, paid or free that I've ever seen in this area. The value you're offering here is actually mind blowing.

I'm in the stage you talked about that I'm getting clients but they're for $500-$800 and even that feels high, knowing that you were in this stage not too long ago really gives me a lot of hope and really that empathy alone offers me more value then 99% of the courses I've seen.

I'm shook, this series is absolutely jam packed with valuable, actionable information and empathy with your audience. I'm not sure I've seen something like this before.

[holylemon]

This content is of real value. It 100% stands out from the rest of these web gurus trying to push some product or tease a course. Not a single breath of waffle, straight to the point and helpful. Thanks for the video!

[steveh]

I remember you popped up in my feed a while back Anna, It was Best Website Platform to Learn in 2023. I loved it and came to your channel to find more and there was only one other video. Boy am I glad that I subscribed because YOU HAVE BEEN BUSY!! Thanks so much for your hard work. This is exactly what I need right now.

[amitnidhipoudel]

Thank you for the content you provide for free. I have a website designing agency for little over a year and struggling to find clients. I am excited to implement the knowledge you shared here and in other videos and see how it goes.

[thecommittedman]

You're on a whole new level of value with these tutorials. Thank you for being you.

[brandenclay]

Wow this is seriously one of the most value packed videos for web designers and marketers across the board. Great work, you’re a fantastic teacher!

[sackjipo]

Hello, paid web designer here. For the amount Anna's clients are paying, they should be getting a website they can use for the indefinite future. Framer does not provide this. Once you are on Framer, there is no off Framer. No switching. No HTML or CSS exporting. Your locked in! Stick to webflow and figma, dont be lazy.

[rajamohsin]

This is gold - just starting out my own business and can’t thank you enough for these videos!!

[muhammadawais-gnel]

Richness of useful content in single video...glad to find this Chanel ❤

[garethBarry_dev]

Wow, what a great video Anna - I have been in this industry for over 10 years (more on the dev side than design) but this was really illuminating. Having recently moved away from a partnership to freelance I will definitely absorb this information into my workflow. Kudos, great to see so much success in younger people these days.

Thank you Anna,
Gareth
