Create the client system you need to earn a full-time income from your web design business, without working unreasonable hours.
Build a profitable web design business.
Fast Track gives you the exact system you need to earn a full-time income from your web design business, without working unreasonable hours.
If you’re ready to finally stop worrying about money, so you can be fully present in your business and life, you’re in the right place.
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, and 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 build 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.
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)

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.
Templates, swipes, and examples are delivered as a combination of videos, PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.
-
All videos come with manually confirmed closed captions and transcripts.
-
Because Fast Track covers my entire website production system, it does briefly mention:
Brand interviews, which are covered in depth in the Brand Interview Workshop
Website copywriting, which is covered in more depth in the Easy Guide to Website Copywriting
But there is almost no overlap in the course content, and these are three completely separate courses.
-
Yes. It includes:
Web Designer Sales Call Script Template
Clear Website Project Brief Workbook
Trust Building Client Calls Workbook
-
The tech 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!
