Josh Hall 0:00

Hello, my friend. It's Josh here, popping in again with another little weekly check-in episode here with you. I've really enjoyed doing these little like audio weekly check-ins with you. I hope you have as well. If you are, let me know. You can email me, josh at joshhall.co, or I'm active on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn at Josh Hall Co. is my handle. If you'd like to DM me and share your thoughts as a listener. Um, but in this one, I'm going to share with you the audio from a new video that I just put up on my YouTube channel, which is digging into uh some tools that I use and the fact that they are all sponsors for our upcoming Pro Con 2026 event. I wanted to dedicate an episode here, a YouTube video and my newsletter for this week to the sponsors for our event, because for anyone who has run an in-person event, you know it is no cheap endeavor. Uh, we're bringing this year between 40 and 50 members of Web Designer Pro and a lot of plus ones into Columbus, Ohio, my hometown. And we are going to be hosting a full weekend for ProCon 2026, which is the in-person event for my community Web Designer Pro. And the reason we're able to keep ticket prices for this like ridiculously affordable is because we have sponsorships behind it. So this, uh, the audio you're about to hear is pulled from a video. It's on my YouTube channel. And it's not just a big thanks, it is a huge thanks to all these brands and companies, but it's also digging into some of the stories as to how I came to use them and why I continue to use some of these uh platforms for well over a decade. So there's gonna be plenty of value in this for you. Um, it is, though, just a massive thanks to our sponsors for allowing me to bring community members in person and to create a truly transformational weekend. So, on that note, real quick before we dive in, if you are interested in coming to ProCon 2026, you have to be a member of Web Designer Pro. So go to WebdesignerPro.com and join today. And you've got to purchase your ticket ASAP as possible because we've got at this point like 13 open tickets, open spots out of 50. And I'm gonna be doing a final push for members, so they're gonna go quick. Any straggler tickets are gonna be closed for sale in a couple weeks because I got to order t-shirts for everybody and some other swag items. So get your ticket ASAP as possible. Here is the audio from uh the video on the uh the sponsorships for ProCon 2026. By the way, the link will be below to this video if you would like to watch it on YouTube. It is visual. So if you want to check that out, click the link below. This is also accompanied by a separate video that's kind of an overview of ProCon if you want to see what it's all about. All right, here it is. I want to give a quick shout out and a huge thanks to our sponsors for my community's upcoming ProCon 2026 event, which is our in-person community conference for Web Designer Pro. And it is all because of our sponsors who invest in this community and make it possible. The reason we're able to have an incredible social experience at our local baseball game, the reason we have this incredible event space where we can hear from experts and grow closer together as a community of web design professionals, and the reason we're able to provide American Sign Language Services for one of our members of Web Designer Pro who is in the deaf community, and the reason we were able to rent out karaoke. Okay, actually, we just happened to stumble across the karaoke, but a huge thanks to all of our sponsors, starting with 17 Hats. Now I've been using 17 hats as my CRM for contracts, invoicing, proposals, onboarding automations, and a ton of other aspects of managing clients since 2015. My world was revolutionized when I went from sending PDF proposals for web design projects to automating my proposal, quote, contract, and invoice all together with a one-click workflow inside of 17 Hats. Right now, 17 Hats is offering a special deal as I partnered up with them. You can get a free seven-day trial. And when you use the link below, josh hall.co slash 17 hats, you'll also get all of my contract quote and invoice templates automatically added to your account. And the team behind 17 Hats is incredible. They actually sent an amazing guy by the name of Jeb, who was there with us last year, and he actually had such a great experience that he wrote about his experience on the 17 Hats blog that will be linked below as well. Incredible team, incredible platform. They they've continued to innovate, they've been so solid for me and both of my businesses because I've been using them since 2015, and I'm not gonna look back because they continue to make a platform better and better. And it's just been rock solid for me with all my contracts, invoices, proposals, and a ton of other automations you can do with them now, too. So big thanks to 17 Hats. Another big thanks to SiteGround. SiteGround was a sponsor for our 2025 event, and they're back with us again in 2026. Additionally, I've been using SiteGround since 2015. So there must have been something in the water in 2015 where I just found my tools. I've been hosting all of my websites on SiteGround for well over a decade at this point, both my sites and my clients' sites. And they partner with me here to give you an incredible first year deal. If you're interested in trying out Siteground, you can get over 80% off when you use my link, joshhall.co slash site ground. Link will be below as well. But there's a lot of reasons I love Siteground. They are just a really great team and a solid product with hosting. It's very hard to find a good host that's not wildly expensive. SiteGround is worth every single penny. And I had some bad experiences trying to find the right host. I was with Bluehost and I got hacked nonstop. Sorry, Bluehost, but that's what it was. Then I went to a company that was recommended to me called Arvix, which uh was recommended by a colleague and they were really good at first, but then they got sold and then it just went downhill super fast. Finally, I made my way to SiteGround and I have never looked back since the summer of 2015. They are rock solid. I love their optimizer and security plugins. I love the site tools, I love the team. They've just been great to work with, and I really appreciate them investing in Web Designer Pro, my community, to give us this event. And again, I just can't recommend them enough. So check out the link below to grab your 80% off first year deal for hosting your websites. Termageddon is up next. Now, the founders behind Termageddon are a husband and wife duo, Hans and Anata, and they are just freaking awesome. And Termageddon is a tool for auto-updating privacy policies. If you're like me and you don't want to have anything to do with figuring out compliance and god forbid, privacy laws that change every week depending on what state or country you're in, you need Termageddon. And they partnered with me to give you a special deal of two free licenses when you use my link, joshhall.co slash termageddon, and it'll be linked below as well. But they're just awesome. It's it's peace of mind because it gives you an embed code that you just put on your privacy policy page and it auto-updates so you don't have to worry about it. And when you're working with clients, you can use this as an upsell for your clients. My agency in Transit Studios does this for our maintenance plans right now. It's an upsell. So when you join our maintenance plan, you get a term again auto-updating privacy policy that keeps you GDPR compliant and compliant in your state game changer. And Hans and Nanata are just incredible. They're actually going to be with us again this year at ProCon 2026. And I just want to thank them for being a sponsor again this year for round two. Next up is Local SEO Academy, which is actually founded by one of our rock star members of Web Designer Pro, Sam Sarden. He was recently on the podcast where I actually shared his live presentation from our first event in 2025, where he shared how he built his web design agency up primarily with SEO growth plans. And he really took a liking and just dove deep into local SEO specifically. And because there was so much conversation in Web Designer Pro about local SEO and growth plans and what Sam was having such success with, uh, I actually advised him that he just create another community out of it. So he created the Local SEO Academy. It's kind of a little brother community to Web Designer Pro. In fact, a lot of the members who are in here now are also in Web Designer Pro. And it is a deep dive into local SEO courses, community, and coaching from Sam himself. And if you want to add local SEO and ongoing monthly recurring revenue plans to build your business up and to build your income reliably and in a stable way, local SEO is a great option for you. Sam dives into it and it's a really incredible community that's going on over there. So big thanks to Sam for also being a sponsor for our ProCon 2026 event. Go to joshall.co slash LSA. That's short for Local SEO Academy, or the link below to grab a special deal because as of right now, you can get 50% off your first month in the community tier of Local SEO Academy. You're gonna start making crazy money very fast, especially if you have an interest in SEO and local SEO. So check that out today. It's just freaking awesome. Speaking of awesome, I had Bailey Collins on my podcast recently who shared how she and her agency had done at that point over 400 website in a day projects. At the time of releasing this video, she's now done over 500 and she charges now four grand for a website in a day project. Now, I was personally very apprehensive about VIP days and website in a day models. But after talking with Bailey, what I realized is it's not as much about the design day itself as it is about the process and systems around that day to make it possible. And that's exactly what she has wrapped up together neatly and concisely in the design day blueprint. This is her signature course, which I am a proud affiliate for, where she dives deep into pulling the curtain back on her design day model, which again, she has done over 500 times. Bailey's just freaking awesome. She is just an energy that the world needs. Probably because she's having so much success with this model. She actually did a training recently inside of Web Designer Pro sharing her website in a day offer. And it went over so well. A ton of members went into her full course, the Design Day Blueprint, and are now using it as their either starting tier or website in a day model inside of my full framework, which teaches how to do build, support, and grow. And how it's really cool because you can do a design day as your full business model or just as like a part of your entire suite of services. So highly recommend the design day blueprint course and a big thanks to Bailey for being a sponsor for Procon 2026 and investing and supporting my community as well. And then finally, I've heard a lot about WP Umbrella. And there's a lot of site managers for WordPress sites, but I kept on hearing this title, Umbrella, Umbrella, Umbrella, in my community web designer pro and in Facebook groups. And I dug into it and I asked some members, what do you guys like about WP Umbrella? How is it different from you know other website managers out there? And overwhelmingly, what I heard is that the UX is super clean, very modern. They've they're doing a lot of innovation very quickly. They're making it super easy to maintain a lot of WordPress sites. And what I found out too, aside from just super affordable pricing, is the team is awesome. And I am huge on the teams who run any type of SaaS product. As you probably gathered so far, one of the reasons I love 17 hats and SiteGround and some of the other tools, like Termagin that I use and recommend, is the team behind them are just awesome people. And I can tell you right now, the same is true for WP Umbrella. I've started working with them and they've been absolutely incredible. And I want to thank them especially for being a sponsor and investing in our community here for ProCon 2026. I have a special deal set up for you with WP Umbrella. You can get a free trial. And on top of that, you'll get your first month completely free on top of your free trial. Details and coupon code below to get your free trial for WP Umbrella.
