Do you feel like you're being held hostage by your web designer?
You send off your pride and joy site to someone, they design something that you love…but then 2 months later you try to add something and you're forced to call your designer for a change you could probably change yourself – and avoid the $$ charge!
Amanda Aiken is a girl after my own heart. She's all about nurturing the DIY spirit in women starting businesses online.
While I do believe it's important to delegate, get support, and not do everything yourself…I am a huge fan of learning everything you can about running your business – simply because it makes you a more informed person and you don't have to rely on anyone whenthe going gets tough.
Recently, I sat down with Amanda to find out how she approached launching her flagship program – The Girls Guide to Web Design.
Giggler warning – I am a giggler. But if you can get past that – you'll hear the TRUTH about launching, relaunching and how your perception of success might change as you learn how to launch.
If want to learn more about Amanda – or check out her program head over to her site now: The Girls Guide To Web Design (not affiliate link). You will love her style – so down to earth, smart, and you will love learning how to do more things in your business on your own – without becoming a bottleneck or breaking a sweat!

Loved doing this interview with you, Anne! If it makes you feel better, I’m pretty sure I giggled my fair share, too. 😛
I think we both were – but I couldn’t help it! Great chatting with you and it was fun re-watching this! Learned so much AGAIN!
Perfect timing – I am definitely due a website makeover this year!
I love everything that I can do with wordpress – and how accessible it all is – just want to inject some more “design” into it 🙂

So funny – I forgot to mention that I’m only weeks away from a new look myself! Finally getting a splash of color up in the site!
I love hearing about other peoples launches! Great interview. Can’t wait to see your new look…I need color too!
I just added an interview with Nathalie Lussier to my launch toolkit – you’ll love hearing from Nathalie talk about her first launch!
I just signed up for this course and can’t wait to get started! I have some decision making to do before I really dig in, but I’ve peeked at the first few lessons and I’m really excited and know that it’s going to be a great way to learn how to launch a self-hosted blog. Thanks for doing this interview – it’s awesome to learn more about Amanda and her awesome GGTWD and what went into her launch!
