Something in your web design business is off. You just don’t know what.
Let’s see what the data & your gut says.
You built this business because you love making beautiful websites. But somewhere along the way... things have just started to feel off.
Late hours on the couch with a client project because it’s the only chunk of time not interrupted by Zoom.
Hauling the laptop with you on every vacation because your books are full (but your bank account isn’t).
Wondering why your client hired a designer when they want to dictate every creative choice (even when their tastes are “website from 1994”).
Project A is now on month 6 of what was supposed to be a 3- month project and Project B is on hold until, well, you don’t know when. But they paid their deposit, so…
You’ve been throwing so much spaghetti at the wall, trying everything you can think of…
New pricing
New ideal client profile
New packaging
Clear timelines
New client portals
and none of it has worked. Okay, maybe a little, here and there.
But OMG, WHY ISN’T ANYTHING WORKING?!
The answer is usually hiding in the data.
Not just the hard facts, like pricing or hours worked or project structure.
It’s in the patterns. In the way all the data connects and tells a story.Because a spreadsheet can’t tell you how it felt to work with this client or that. And that feeling can’t tell you if the project was actually profitable.That’s what an S.O.S. Session gets into… the numbers, and the stuff underneath the numbers. Both/And. Together. So we can understand the bigger picture. And find a fix.
What’s an S.O.S. Session?
We all know that you call out S.O.S. when you need help.
And that’s what an S.O.S. Session is… help.
Help getting clarity on what’s actually happening inside your business.
You know those times when something becomes so obvious you can’t believe you didn’t see it before?
Well that’s what happens with a S.O.S. Session.
You could call it a “Oh, so that’s why” call if you wanted.
Here's what happens in 60 minutes:
Before the call, you fill out a short intake form on your last three to five projects. Hard numbers -- hours, invoices, timelines.
On the call, we look at the data together. Then we go deeper.
We find the patterns between what the numbers say and what your gut already knows. In a way you can actually do something about.
By the end you'll know…
Which projects are worth what they cost you.
Which client types light you up and which ones quietly drain your bank account.
What the data says about the business you're actually building versus the one you think you're building.
And one concrete thing to track or do differently on your next project.
"I thought it would just be about time management or productivity strategy. But it got me clear about what offers and what types of clients I work best with. It was more about the type of work and kind of client than the actual project itself." ~ Bridget Baker, Bridget Baker Branding
This is for you if…
You're a web designer who feels like you're doing more work than you're getting paid for -- but you can't put your finger on what's causing it.
Is it the clients? The projects? The way you deliver? The pricing?
You're not sure what it is, and that IS EXHAUSTING.
And you've been in business long enough to have several projects to look back on.
This is not for you if you're looking for someone to tell you to raise your prices, niching down is your answer, or that one more system will fix everything.
HOW AN S.O.S. SESSION WORKS
01. Book your session
Grab a 60-minute slot. You'll get a confirmation with a link to the intake form.
02. Fill out the intake form
Hard data on your last three to five projects. Best estimates are fine. The patterns matter more than the precision.
03. Show up to the call
We look at the data together on screen. We go through the subjective stuff -- how each project actually felt, what it cost you beyond the hours. We find the pattern.
04. Leave with something real
I’m not going to hand you a to-do list. Instead, you’ll have a clear insight about the work and clients you're best suited for, and one concrete experiment to run on your next project to get you closer to where you want to be.

FAQ
Do I need to have my hours perfectly tracked? No. Best estimates are completely fine. You'll be surprised how much the patterns hold even with rough numbers.
What if my projects are all really different? Good. That's actually more useful data, not less. Different project types reveal the patterns faster.
Is this like a coaching call? Sorta. Not exactly. It's a data session with real strategic depth. You're getting clarity on what's actually happening in your business right now and we’ll be finding the answer that work best for you.
