The Matt Report Web Design Series Part 1: Discovery Process Part 2: Setting the budget & expectation Today’s guest is the founder of 9Seeds and recovering podcast host, John Hawkins.

It’s easy for us to sit back and tell consultants to raise their rates and set better expectations, but it’s another story when we are the customer. Today’s guest is re-launching his company website and he’s here to tell us how he approached the process. Meet, Jason Resnick, expert WordPress developer, consultant, and business owner. He’s in…
The podcast is back! We’re (finally) entering into that web design story line I’ve been promising you for quite some time now. I’ve been sitting on the entire series for the last 2 months, wrestling with ideas on how to release it. One at a time? In episode chunks? Netflix style? I’ve settled on doing…
Life has a funny way of introducing you to a perfect stranger, forming that into a strong bond, and then ripping it away from you at the blink of an eye. Last night, I learned of the passing of my friend Clint Warren a month ago to this day. Still beside myself of the news, I’m pressing…

The WordPress podcasting space is very interesting. It’s getting more competitive as I predicted and more WP focused podcasts continue to come to the airwaves. In fact, read David’s…
Update: It’s with heavy-heart that I mention Clint’s passing. He will be missed. Think about why you ventured into client services. Did you quit your cushy day job for extravagant visions of the 4 Hour Work Week? Perhaps you are purposely driven to help others accomplish their goals through consulting and technology. Whatever might be at…
I invited my good friend, Brian Casel, to return to our airwaves and teach us a new lesson — productizing. Brian, like most of us, started as a “web designer” then made the shift to product via Restaurant Engine. This is not — let me repeat — not an easy task. If you’ve been following me…
