    Web Designer Habits Ask for Client Reviews

    In this episode of Web Designer Habits, Cami talks about why asking for client reviews should be a regular habit in your business. Reviews help you stay visible, build trust, and make it easier for future clients to choose you. They can also help you stay top of mind with past clients and create more opportunities for repeat work over time. It does not have to be awkward, and it does not have to happen all at once. A simple, consistent system for asking can help you collect more reviews over time without making it feel forced.

    Web Designer Habits Make a Business Backup Plan

    In this episode of Web Designer Habits, Cami talks about why every small business web designer needs a business backup plan. If you run a one-person web design business, your clients depend on you. But what happens if you are sick, unavailable, overloaded, or dealing with an emergency? This week’s habit is about naming a backup person, documenting the basics, and having one important conversation before you actually need help. It does not have to be complicated. One name, one document, and one conversation are enough to get started. A business backup plan protects your clients, your business, and your peace of mind.
