Intentional Creative Podcast Galen Mooney

Maybe you’re brand new to the web design world. Or maybe you’re a seasoned pro looking to attract a new kind of client. Either way, it’s time to give your portfolio a refresh. No experience or clients required.



Here’s how to get started:

Create your dream client. Imagine the exact kind of client you want to attract. What do they offer? Who do they serve? What’s their vibe? Hop into Canva and create a mood board for this fictional brand. ****

Mock up their website. Use Canva or your website designer to mock up a fictional website. Treat it like a real project, and work through your client process while you go.

Show it off! Use this mockup on your portfolio, on social media, everywhere!

It’s true that it can be difficult to scale as a service provider. You’re only one person, after all. But there are still plenty of options for solopreneurs and service providers who want to scale their income without building a team.



One of the best ways for web designers and other service providers to increase their income without taking on more clients is to create passive income streams. Here’s how you can create your own passive income streams as a service provider.

Every business comes with expenses, and web design is no different! Just because I don’t need to rent an office space, hire an on-site team, or buy physical supplies doesn’t mean I don’t invest in tools to help me run my business.

(And because I’m a bit of a tech addict, I invest in a lot of tools...)



Over the years, I’ve whittled my expenses down to only my absolute favorite and most-used apps. These are the ones that help me attract, convert, and manage all my web design clients.

Now, I want to share these tools with you in today’s podcast episode.
