    Should We Be Building Websites for Humans or Robots?

    AI bot traffic is projected to surpass human traffic by the end of 2027. In this episode, we discuss how web design is changing and what we can expect for the future. We talk about whether the extra SEO effort is worth it, adding AI clauses to design contracts, and why we still believe we should build for humans first.

    Kill Your Darlings: When to Let Things Go

    In this episode, we discuss the concept of "killing your darlings" — letting go of products, processes, or tools in your business that no longer serve you to make room for what's next. Will shares how he’s rethinking his plugin strategy and Christy reflects on services she’s no longer offering. We also discuss the shifting landscape of the web design and development industry and debate the creativity (or lack thereof) of LLMs.  Thank you to our sponsor, Breely!

    If We Had to Start Over in 2026

    If we had to start over today, with no audience, no email list, and no reputation, what would we actually do? In this episode, we break down what still works for building a web design business, what we'd skip completely, and where we'd focus if we had to rebuild from scratch in 2026. We also talk about SEO, YouTube, AI search, email lists, Instagram, digital products, client work, and the slow reality of growing something that lasts. Plus, Christy shares the story of winning $5,000 at Sponsor Games, and Will talks about how he's in his Claude era. Thank you to our sponsor, Breely!
