Chaitra Radhakrishna – High End Web Designer

The 4-part framework for consistently landing high-end website clients in your design biz!

THE High-end Web Designer TM

A 6-month online program for web designers on how to attract, book and design $10K+ websites without working more than 20 hours/week!

Hey there, fellow web designer!

I see you are working hard and you have big goals for your web design biz!

Are you ready to start booking $10K+ websites so you can make more money in your design biz while working wayyyyyy less?

Do any of these sound familiar?

• Getting website clients seems like a rollercoaster you can’t get off of – you book a couple clients one month and then go months together without a single inquiry hitting your inbox. #ghosttown
• Or you are on the web design hamster wheel, busy building websites for clients but on paper, your business looks more like a hobby and you aren’t making nearly as much money as you want to be.
• You have big goals for business, and so you take on multiple website projects in order to hit your income goals but you are on the verge of burnout and want to throw in the towel.
• You do have a web design process but every client project feels like a road trip where the client is in charge and they are driving you to crazy-land. And at the end, you are left exhausted with projects that you aren’t proud to put on your portfolio.
• Most times, handling these projects felt like taking an order at a restaurant – Can I have a blue header with a cream sidebar and gold buttons please? You are tired of clients questioning your expertise and not trusting your design process even after they chose to hire you. WHY, OH WHY?

Honestly, you sometimes wonder if this business and the constant headaches are even worth it!

Meanwhile on the other side of designer-land …

• Fellow designers are talking about raising prices, charging more for your projects, working with dream clients and hitting six-figures. You know that’s the part of designer-land you want to go but you don’t know where’s the map to help you get there.
• You want to raise your prices but worry that enquiries will dry up if you do. And those couple of times you tried raising your prices, you heard those dreaded words – “I can’t afford it” for a $2000 website and went right back to what you were charging.
• You wonder how other designers are charging $10K+ for a website and oh! by the way, where do they even find these clients?
• You want to land high-end clients but sometimes you secretly wonder if the websites you create are really worth $10K? How do you even design these websites that are worth $10K?

You wonder if there is a secret sauce that these designers have access to and you don’t?

Charging $10K for 1 website sounds like a dream and you are sitting on the other side resisting the urge to weep.

I get it my friend, I have been there!

About Chaitra Radhakrishna

When everyone zigs, you zag : this has always been my mantra both in life and business.

With a Masters degree in Computer Science, I joined the corporate world with big dreams of making it to Google or Apple and changing the world. But just a few months in, I realized that it wasn’t the place for me. So I decided to carve my own path, started this design studio in 2016 and luckily haven’t looked back ever since.

This business has brought in tremendous opportunities for me and I am honored to have been featured and spoken at Alt Summit, Privy, ConvertKit, Craftcation and Proof to Product among others.

I believe that being kind, doing good work and working from a place of rest can go a long way in growing a business.
