Great to have Chris “the self-made web designer” back on the podcast!
Aside from casual catch-up and web shop talk, we get into where the web industry is today compared to when we first entered the industry years ago.
Chris has a unique perspective as a freelance web designer who got most of his work through Upwork, and, with his work with ShowIt, sees a different part of the market than what I often do with WordPress.
