In this one, we covered:

• Reading recommendations for web design business owners include "Atomic Habits," "Built to Sell," and "Sponsor Magnet"
• WordPress site migration strategies from platforms like Blogspot should consider domain authority, metadata, and using migration tools
• Despite Google AI overviews potentially reducing clicks, SEO remains crucial as these tools cite quality content
• A former Web Designer Pro member shares their success landing a $10K website project through BNI networking
• White label partnerships require clear payment terms - agencies should pay contractors regardless of client payment status
• The "Automatic for agencies" offer appears to be competing with WP Engine amid ongoing tensions in the WordPress ecosystem
• Divi 5 works well for simpler sites now, but complex sites with third-party plugins should stay on Divi 4 until fall 2025
• Productizing web design services works best when creating template "buckets" based on complexity levels
• New designers can build portfolios through charity work or passion projects using terms like "featured work"
• In-person networking remains highly effective for landing quality clients, even in the digital age
