Build a profitable web design business (that feels like a dream come true to run)
Fast Track gives you the exact system you need to earn a full-time income from your web design business, without working unreasonable hours.
Being a great designer is one thing.
Knowing how to run a successful design business is another.
Maybe you’ve always had an eye for design. Or, maybe you’ve spent hours upon hours honing your skills with web design courses. Either way, you’re pretty damn good at what you do.
But when it comes to securing clients and managing projects, it’s easy to feel lost and overwhelmed.
After all, having solid design skills and producing great work sadly isn’t enough to run a successful business.
You love designing websites. But…
You stress over selling your work to potential clients. You’re never sure how to answer “Why should I invest in your services?” and you spend way too long drafting proposals (that sometimes never even get a response).
You’re ‘winging it’ with your client process. You get a little lost at project milestones, wondering what to do next, and you hate that it makes you look less professional than you are.
You often feel like the client is in control. You want to lead the project as the expert you know you are, but you’re not sure how to set boundaries when clients ask for more revisions or extra work.
You feel overcommitted and overworked. Scope creep is a regular occurrence, and you’re working way more than you promised yourself you would, with little cash to show for it.
You’re secretly worried that you’re not cut out for this. You’re concerned you’ll never be able to quit your 9-5, or that you’ll have to get a “normal job” just so you can earn a full-time income.
The not-so-secret solution isn’t sexy. But it works.
What if I told you that all of those worries and struggles could be solved by a reliable and repeatable client process?
I know, I know. Yawn. But trust me on this one: fine-tuning your process is key to earning a full-time income as a web designer.
If you want to redirect all the time and energy you spend stressing over money towards the things you actually enjoy in your business, then it’s time to streamline your systems.
And you’re in luck because I’m showing you the “Fast Track” to do exactly that.
I’m sharing the exact systems I used to grow my web design business to 6 figures in 3 years.
Let’s rewind. Who am I, and why do I know so much about web design processes?
Hi, I’m Danbee. I’m a web-designer-turned-mentor and global inclusion specialist.
I started my web design business as a side hustle back in 2019, without any formal design training. The imposter syndrome was real, and I had no clear path for selling my services or seamlessly delivering a project.
Tired of the overwhelm, I took a step back. I turned to my 10 years of corporate experience managing complex, multi-year projects for tech, construction, and airport operations, and I built my own process.
I thought I was just getting myself organized, and I did. But I was also able to 4x my prices, work with better-fit clients, get more referrals, and book out my calendar.
By the end of 2021, my business had grown to six figures of profit. And none of it would have been possible if I hadn’t developed the exact process I’m giving to you inside of Fast Track.
My vision for you
I want to show web designers the easier way to build a thriving business, regardless of where they are in the world.
Whether you want to earn a generous full-time income, move to a new country, or free up your time to pursue a lifelong passion, it’s all possible for you — but first, you need a repeatable system.
Introducing
Fast Track
All the processes and tools you need to take the stress out of running a profitable web design business
-
Saved me a year of figuring it out on my own
“It was incredibly valuable to see your process and hear the rationale behind every step.
It cut out what might otherwise have taken me a year to figure out on my own.
You always seem to know exactly what to say and how to say it. I enjoyed how organized your process is and I totally loved the runbook — it made it super easy to work through all the content.”
— Alex Pemberton

Helped me get my processes down to a well-oiled machine
The value you provide inside Fast Track is off the charts! I’m not a newbie to design or business, but I’ve been wanting to get my processes down to a well-oiled machine, create efficiencies, and consolidate all the communication inside my project management tool. Your course, my dear, has already provided me ALL THE GOODNESS I needed!
Business has picked up for me big time, so I’m wearing many hats. I’m pretty organized... But I don’t want to drop the ball. I’m soooo effin’ happy that I invested in your course! I wasn’t sure if this was for me since I’m not a newbie, but I’m so glad I did it.
— Barb Pritchard
Web Designer, United States -
Helped me put together a high-end and repeatable client process
“This course was everything I expected and more.
It’s an absolute gold mine and really took away the stress of client work.
It gave me confidence in working with clients, and helped me put together a high-end and repeatable client process.”
— James Battye
Web Designer, United Kingdom -
Confident enough to put myself out into the world
“I am a BIG picture thinker, so getting into the detail-heavy work of creating a business was overwhelming. But after Fast Track, I felt confident enough to put myself out into the world, even though I didn’t have any ‘real experience.’ Thank goodness!
Building a business plan, creating packages, sorting out pricing, navigating sabotaging thoughts, and dealing with client roadblocks has been a hell of a lot easier with Danbee.”
— Courtney Hager
Web Designer, Canada
The thing is… You don’t know what you don’t know.
You know that investing more time, money, and effort in your design skills is only going to get you so far. You already feel good about the work you produce. It’s this whole “running a business” thing that’s got you stressed out.
You see countless other web designers achieving the success you crave, so you know it’s possible. You just don’t know which steps are going to get you there — or how do to things your way.
If you’ve ever wished that someone would hand you a clear, step-by-step playbook, showing you exactly which steps to take and when (including steps you never even considered before)... You’re in exactly the right place.
Fast Track teaches you everything you need to…
Sign high-ticket clients (who are happy to pay you)
Comfortably set boundaries and manage client expectations
Position yourself as a trusted expert and advisor
Feel more organized with your work
Deliver a referral-worthy project experience
Build your confidence as a business owner (not just a designer)
-
Best course I’ve ever purchased
“Fast Track is my lifeline when I’m stuck, lost in details, or feeling indecisive about my next step. It helps me every day as I work with my first high-ticket client and saves me so much time and headaches.
I used to feel insecure about my process because I didn’t know what to focus on. That’s all gone now and I feel calmer and confident.
Thanks, Danbee! Best course I’ve ever purchased!”
— Lai Ngo
Web Designer, Switzerland -
Saved me so much time and stress
“I can’t even tell you how helpful your course was.
It included so many details that I didn’t even know I had to think about.
I especially loved your templates. Writing is not my forte and it’s not something I feel very confident about, especially when it’s writing to clients. Your email templates saved me so much time and stress.”
— Palak Kaur
Web Designer, India -
What to say, when to say it, and how to say it!
“This gave me a step-by-step method for finding clients and creating a smooth experience (for both myself and my clients).
I like how Danbee gets straight to the point and shares her client communication method in an easygoing style.
She tells you what to say, when to say it, and how to say it!”
— Sara Elisa Verona
UX Designer, Italy

My clients feel secure and listened to
“When I joined the course, I’d already done a few websites, but I wasn’t happy with how my client interactions had gone. I asked for feedback at the wrong times, creating misunderstandings and unhappy clients.
Following your process, I learned to present my work in progress at the right times, which made my clients feel more secure in my hands. They felt like I was actively listening to them and like we were heading in the same direction together. My new projects are on this happy note all the time.
I knew that I could create great websites, but what was missing was a process for combining my design expertise with what my clients expect from their projects. This is the gap that Fast Track filled perfectly.”
— Madeline Marchel
Web Designer, Germany -
I now have a concrete plan and everything I need to get started
“Starting a new business, a new chapter, a new career in design… I had so much to figure out. What I loved about this course is that it gave me so many answers to questions that I didn’t even know I had.
The way you explained your whole process step by step made me feel very prepared. And the structure helped me take in all this new information without feeling like it was too much.
Before taking this course, I only knew that I wanted to start, but had no clue where or how. That has all changed and I now have a concrete plan and everything I need to get started.”
— Beatriz Abreu Lima
Web Designer, Brazil -
The runbook is the safety net I’d been looking for
“I’d been so stressed trying to start my web design business but after taking this course, I feel more confident and ready to actually do the thing.
I like your teaching style because there’s zero fluff and you get straight to the point, which is a huge time saver.
The runbook is the safety net I’d been looking for. Instead of feeling scared about the bumpy road ahead, I can finally walk out to the ledge and start working with clients and delivering awesome results! I’m super grateful!”
— Danae Bloise
Web Designer, United States -
Tools and confidence to focus on getting results for my clients
“You gave me permission to release the heavy process from my corporate experience and focus on getting results for my clients. I now have the tools and confidence to do exactly that.
Somehow you presented a very detailed step-by-step process and a thorough explanation of the reasoning behind each step in a simple, clear way. You understand and model a client-centered business. I cannot thank you enough.”
— Brenda Wilken
Web Designer, United States

Improved my onboarding and welcome process for new clients
“I already had a pretty good workflow for my projects when I joined Fast Track, but I found it hard to keep my clients on track with my schedules.
The biggest change I made after Fast Track was improving my onboarding and welcome process for new clients. Adding project briefs and sharing simplified client-facing project plans helped set clear boundaries and ground rules, get client buy-in, and start each project off on the right foot.
Also, I learn well with examples, so seeing your real-life examples and your actual workflow was really helpful.”
— Michelle Pontvert
Web Designer, France -
Positioned myself as a trusted guide and advisor for my clients
“As soon as I booked my first two client projects, I came right back to Fast Track. It’s been so good to work through the course content because it answered the big question, “What am I supposed to do now?”
I love being able to reference your instructions and advice at every step as I move forward with these clients.
I’ve been using your templates and the brand interview especially helped me position myself as a trusted guide and advisor. I asked my clients questions that they hadn’t considered before, questions they needed answers to in order to run their business successfully. They found the whole process really helpful and were very impressed.”
— Dion Telesky
Web Designer, Canada -
It’s allowed me to breathe and take a step back ... and I feel more serene.
“Thank you for sharing your process and experiences, and for doing so in such a caring and transparent way.
I really appreciated your approach. You explained very concretely how you do things without ever saying, “This is the only right way to do it,” or “You must do it this way.”
It’s allowed me to breathe and take a step back from a process that I imagined to be very complicated, and I feel more serene.”
— Marie Leleu
Web Designer, France -
Way more confidence and motivation to go out and work with clients
“Not many people actually care about their clients and students the way Danbee does. I come from a teaching background and thoroughly enjoyed learning from Danbee.
This is the only course of its kind that covers the entire website production process. I now have way more confidence and motivation to go out and work with clients because I know how to approach them and deliver an experience that makes them feel special.”
— Paulina Fujiya

FAQ
-
I recommend that you work with at least a couple of clients before investing in Fast Track. This way, you can get a little bit of experience and see what’s working in your business already versus what needs the most work.
Once you’ve completed those first couple of projects, you’ll be in much better shape to benefit from this course.
-
Not at all. I build my client websites on Squarespace and do share a few Squarespace tips here and there.
But Fast Track is all about the step-by-step process and tools for selling, building, and delivering a client website project, and you can apply this to your business no matter which website platform you choose.
-
Fast Track covers the process and tools for selling and working through a website project.
It focuses on following a project plan to make sure you meet the project objectives and communicating with your clients to ensure they have a great experience working with you.
While Module 3 guides you through each step of creating a website at a high level, it does not cover the detailed process of the design work involved.
-
Because I work predominantly with online coaches, I’ve built my website production system with this audience in mind.
But web designers inside Fast Track generally find they can easily customize my system to work for their businesses, serving clients who are therapists and mental health practitioners, builders and construction workers, mechanics, artists, authors, teachers and educators, photographers, and more.
Web designers have also applied what they learned in Fast Track to sign and work with e-commerce businesses.
If you’re not sure whether this is a good fit for you, use the chat at the bottom right corner of this page and tell me about your situation. I’d love to help you make a decision.
-
Fast Track is hosted on Podia and uses a combination of easy-to-follow written instructions and video tutorials.
All videos come with manually confirmed closed captions and transcripts.
Templates, swipes, and examples are delivered as a combination of videos, PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.
-
Because Fast Track covers my entire website production system, it does mention:
Brand interviews, which are covered in depth in the Brand Interview Workshop
Website copywriting, which is covered in depth in the Easy Guide to Website Copywriting
But the overlaps are minor and these three courses are completely separate.
-
Yes. It includes:
Web Designer Sales Call Script Template
Clear Website Project Brief Workbook
Trust Building Client Calls Workbook
-
The tools I recommend are almost all free. Whenever I do mention paid tools, I also include free alternatives. I know the pain of feeling like I have to sign up for all the tools when just getting started!
-
I’m 100% confident in the quality and originality of Fast Track.
But if you don’t feel like you’ve learned anything new from the course, email me (hello@danbeeshin.com) within 14 days of your purchase and I’ll refund you in full.
