The new redesign looks great! Just subscribed to the newsletter! I recently started my own little digital agency and honestly you are one of the people that inspired me to do it. Thanks for all the help through your videos!
Thanks John. Always insightful. Please can one intern with your team? looking forward to this if possible. cheers!
We actually developed a platform called Webleadr where you can find businesses without websites using a world map and filters for example let's say you only want to fetch a maximum of 25 dentists as businesses from somewhere in Manchester. You can check our channel to see the demo in case you are interested.
is there a full video?

Hopefully, this might be useful for most fellow web designers, developers, etc. The app is working perfectly.
Would love this template, but for some reason it's not loading? Any ideas?
Great video! Is there a reason why your agency goes straight to hi-fi wireframes and not lo-fi?
What website do u sue for the list and business model map?
This is nice John 👏
This is like my favorite thing! ❤trying asap
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Creating GPT Bots for Clients Purpose The purpose of this SOP is to standardize the process of creating GPT bots tailored to clients' specific brands, subjects, or personas. These bots are designed to converse and provide information based on a rich knowledge base curated from client-specific content, enhancing brand interaction and content generation. Scope This SOP applies to all team members responsible for creating and managing GPT bots for clients across various industries. The procedure covers the steps from gathering client information to deploying a fully functional GPT bot. Definitions • GPT Bot: A conversational Al model trained on specific content to simulate the voice and knowledge of a brand, subject, or individual. • Knowledge Base: A collection of documents, including books, testimonials, website content, and other relevant materials, used to train the GPT Bot. • Premium Account: A subscription-based account required to access advanced features needed for creating GPT bots. Tools • Chat GPT platform with Premium Account access • Client content (e.g., PDFs of website copy, testimonials, product descriptions) • PDF creation and text verification software Procedure (Steps) 1. Preparation: • Gather all relevant client materials, including website copy, product descriptions, testimonials, and any other content that embodies the client's voice and brand essence. • Convert all content into PDF format, ensuring text is selectable to confirm readability. 2. Creating the Bot: • Log into the Chat GPT platform with a Premium Account. • Navigate to the "Explore GPTs" section and select "Create" to start a new bot project. • Name the bot (e.g. "Credit Academy Bot*) and provide a comprehensive description based on the client's brand and the purpose of the bot. • Upload the prepared PDF documents to the knowledge base section of the bot configuration. Ensure that the document titles are concise and indicative of their content. 3. Configuration and Testing: • Fine-tune the bot's settings, including its voice and response style, to match the client's brand identity. • Conduct thorough testing by asking the bot questions related to the client's brand, products, and services to ensure accurate and relevant responses? 4. Deployment: • Once satisfied with the bot's performance, save the configuration. • Choose the appropriate sharing settings, allowing either public access or restricted use. • Share the bot with the client or integrate it into the client's digital platforms as required. End of Procedure • Responsibility: The team member who created the bot is responsible for its maintenance and updates, ensuring the knowledge base remains relevant and the bot's performance meets client expectations. • Review and Closing Reminder: Regularly review the bot's performance and the client's satisfaction. Update the knowledge base and settings as the client's brand evolves or as new content becomes available. Always document changes and communicate with the client regarding updates.
Notion Template Link with 404 Error (not available) 😞
Thanks for this Gem ! its very useful to understand more about role in agency when we want scale
Glad it was helpful!
Sorry I can't figure out how to download the template. I am thrilled I found your site!
Hey John, 6 or so months ago, you reviewed Wix Studio, have your thoughts evolved more ? I would to hear. Also, your thoughts on Framer considering all the advancements that have been made ..?
beast mode. love it man. thanks. Would love to see your SOP on sitemaps! :-)
Framer AI seems great for single page but I have not been able to figure out how to generate multiple pages off the same prompt, or at the very least, generate more pages that have the same flow and aesthetic as the single page that the AI created
Its old way
Can you provide an updated link to the doc? Love your content!
Would love the SOP please!

Interested on how to get your Workflow templates. Where can I enroll to your Marketing Automation Academy?
Glad I found your channel,
Glad to hear it
Great Work John, this came in very Handy
Wouldn't the client or customer get angry, or should I say, isn't there a chance of the client not being happy and even suing. So maybe it would be smart to say cover the clients name... just in case
The riches are in the niches. Thanks for this video, this definitely helped me re-focused.
Nice one John. When did you make the switch to ClickUp? I've been using it a few years now and it's a great tool.
im worried that AI is going to really take over a lot of web design, is that true or not?
Regarding AI and web design, it's a valid concern. AI is definitely making waves in many industries, including web design. However, while AI can streamline certain tasks and offer new tools for creativity, the unique insights, understanding, and personal touch that a human designer brings to a project are irreplaceable. AI can assist and augment our work, but the creativity, empathy, and understanding of user needs that you bring to the table are your greatest assets. Stay curious, keep learning, and use AI as a tool to enhance your creativity, not replace it.
can you link some of your resources regarding learning the basics of design please. Thanks
Hey Satnam! Absolutely, I can link you to some resources that have been incredibly useful for me and many others starting out in design. Here are a few to get you started: Adobe XD: Great for learning UI/UX basics. Canva Design School: Excellent for graphic design fundamentals. Webflow University: Perfect for getting hands-on with web design without needing to code. KZread: My channel, 5FourDigital’s Channel, offers insights and tips on design and running a digital business. Each of these resources can provide a solid foundation in design principles, tools, and best practices. Happy learning!
Def appreciate this, just started out my freelancing journey this year been working with a agency so I’m already learning the ins and outs.
Hey Anthony! That's awesome to hear you've started your freelancing journey and are already getting a taste of the agency life. It's a fantastic way to learn quickly and build a solid foundation. Remember, every project is an opportunity to grow and every challenge is a chance to innovate. If you have any questions or hit a snag along the way, feel free to reach out. Wishing you all the best on this exciting path ahead!
Thank you bro 🫡
Thank you, Abdulaziz! 🫡 Your support means a lot. If there's anything specific you're curious about or need advice on, don't hesitate to ask. Here to help and share what I've learned along the way!
Hi, my webflow is currently on CMS plan but couldn't do this manual back up. Wondering is it has to be on business plan for this manual back up? Thanks for your great sharing.
Thanks you for this inspiring video! Love.
You are so welcome!
❤
Is this all explained detailed in your Web Design Studio Accelerator?
Explained and examples provided!
Is there a discount code for your Web Design Studio Accelerator 3.0?
Thank you for doing this John. It's really appreciated.
My pleasure!
Could you possibly do a video about why you decided to go with webflow instead of wordpress? Or maybe just tell me here? Thanks
My man... short and helpful advice. Even the basics of testing buttons + 404s are easy to miss. Your SOPs in your course are 🔥
Thanks for that!
love your content ❤
