the laziest way to start a web design agency in 2026 ($10k/month)

The laziest way to build a $10k/month web design agency in 2026. Discover why web design is splitting into $500 and $50,000 markets (and how to profit from it).

Everyone’s telling you web design is dead. They’re right about one thing – the old way IS dead.

Btw, AI didn’t kill web design, it killed the mediocre middle. The easier websites become to make, the more valuable it becomes to know WHAT to make.

But what they don’t realize is we’re about to witness the biggest wealth transfer in digital history. In this video, I reveal the exact system I use to charge $10,000+ for 20 hours of work while traditional agencies struggle with $500 projects.

In this video, you’ll discover:
– Why websites now cost either $500 or $50,000 (nothing in between)
– The LinkedIn method that makes clients come to YOU
– How to charge $750/hour using AI tools strategically
– The portfolio hack that gets agencies begging for your help
– My exact client acquisition system (no cold calling required)
– The diagnostic close that converts at 50%+

After years of competing in the dying middle, I discovered how to position myself on the winning side of the split. Now I work less, charge more, and deliver better results than ever before.

The web design industry isn’t dying – it’s splitting. And if you position yourself on the right side, you can build a $10k/month agency working just 20 hours per week.

Remember: You’re either on the $500 side or the $50,000 side. There’s no middle anymore.
Which side will you choose?
