Podcasting For Website Designers: What Works and What Doesn't

Check out my new offer - https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/sparks-group-mentoring/ - a supportive group mentoring session created specifically for website designers and developers to bring their questions, roadblocks, ideas, and “is it just me?” moments

Podcasting can be a powerful marketing tool for website designers — but only if it’s done with intention.

Welcome to another episode of Websites Made Simple with me, Holly Christie!

In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from nearly two years of podcasting for my web developer mentoring and website design business. I cover strategy, production, audio quality, SEO, and, honestly, the expectations you should have.

Most importantly, I share where I learned what I could have done better, what I did wrong and where I’ve seen others stumble, too.

I talk about how to plan before you hit record.

I explore the stuff I underestimated, like how much audio quality matters.

I explain why relying on Zoom hurts listener retention, how podcast SEO is a thing, and why downloads grow slowly (spoiler: that’s normal).

I’ll also show you how podcasting fits into a long‑term marketing strategy rather than a quick win.

If you’re a website designer thinking about starting a podcast — or wondering why yours hasn’t gained traction — what I’ve learned should help you reset your expectations and do it properly.
