UX/UI Designers: What is the barrier to entry to work with a new SaaS?
I know that having a few case studies is a good start, but I'm curious to know what SaaS founders specifically are looking for.

Hey Hossein,
First of all great idea you have here. Love that you price fair to the value of the work too.
I'm a fan of black in my designs, some people think it's uninviting but I absolutely disagree; the use of the color black is sleek and professional.
One thing I do want to note, though: the gradient on the banner affects all of the logos and that doesn't display the work in it's true...
What are your initial thoughts about my website banner?

I used to deny myself wifi at home because I always wanted to be "out" while working on my laptop.
I would find that taking the drive to a coffeeshop would make me want to make the most out of the trip.
It's so easy at home to start thinking about chores or working out or other life goals besides the boring work that is in front of you.
TL;DR: Strand yourself on an island (a cafe will do...

I hired a coach and asked him.
To be honest this was a huge sticking point for me starting out.
I hated the feeling of agreeing to work at a lower price than I felt I could have asked--it got to a point where I would rather lose a few sales because my price was high.
But asking someone in the field is a sure bet IMO.
What pricing strategies have worked for you at an early-stage startup?

Verrry interesting. I've been building out a system like this manually. I wonder what differences your product would cover.
All the best!

Saw you in the Furlough Discord!
This product looks like it would help UX researchers formulate questions much quicker and more precisely. Great idea.
Was this created using Chat GPT API? I know that can be applied to many things.
All the best to you!

If it's a potential additional source of income, I'll give it a few months.
If it's going to teach me a new skill, I'll do it for a few weeks after hours until I gain an intermediate understanding.
If it doesn't pay, teach, or make me laugh--it's out pretty quick.
How do you decide which side projects to pursue, and which to let go of? 🤔

Congrats on the launch! The only thing that I can think of that compares is Milanote. But I don't recall if they automatically updated files or compressed files. If you really can solve those issues, that puts you ahead in my eyes!
All the best.

There has been a movement in the creative world to offer services in a productized manner (a flat fee for a defined scope of work) and this is my attempt at just that. As a solopreneur, I've been working to transition from "feast or famine" to something more steady. I've had consistent client work since mid-2022 and with this launch I hope to continue that trend.
Feel free to ask me anything!...

So glad to see Notion pop up in the conversation so many times. I think it's underappreciated but that's starting to change :)
Freelancing or working as a solo agency is so simple these days:
A couple of tools for staying organized (Notion, Trello, Google docs), a payment processor (Stripe, PayPal), a website, and then you're up and running!
You can experiment all day but each freelancer will...

Learned a new tool to create landing pages (Framer.com). It's different than Webflow, but great for designers or those with experience designing layouts!
Are you learning any new skills?

In some sense, a product has to come down to a simple metric.
If you are designing something, the response is subjective--on a gradient--but ultimately the metric is client approval.
If you build something to sell or get customers, the response is clearly either money or no money.
The more experience building and launching, the quicker and more clearly you will be able to realize the point...

I accept that fact that a fog will probably be over me. So go back to the basics of writing down (on pen and paper) what needs to be done. And I MAKE SURE that smaller steps for my larger goals are clarified. This helps build momentum back up and gets me excited for more execution.
I think many people can relate to that feeling of increasing power and speed :)

Midjourney is awesome man. It can add imagery to your website but there are also specific AI tools to make landing pages.
