Day 600 of building my own business is still frightening.
With no experience whatsoever, I started my own Webflow studio in March 2025.
Since then it's been 600 days of:
Anxiety
Optimism
Impostor syndrome
Success
Failure
Failure
Failure
Success
Success
Believing
Doubting
Excitement
And everything in between.
Now I'm working with clients all over the world.
I'm building Webflow sites.
I'm working on a web app for musicians as a product owner.
I'm building my own digital product for solopreneurs.
It's still frightening. But most of all, I've never felt more free and satisfied.
I'm still looking for work, though.
To be completely honest, I really need some work as of right now.
If you need a Webflow developer or UX designer, I would love to talk.

Every creature in this identity is watching you.
Little Fen, a wetland club for kids. 50 creatures. 3 colors. Everyone gets eyes.
Case study drops soon.
Which creature goes first?
Hey Little Fen,
Can you see me?
I literally had to launch my website behind my own back 😭💻
As a brand designer, I kept finding one more thing to tweak before going live. A font, a layout, another section… the list never ended.
But building with @Base44 reminded me that launching doesn't mean you're finished. It means you've started.
✨ Here's what I built:
🌐 BrandingbyEl Website: A fully designed, published, mobile-responsive website that I can continue improving as my business grows.
🚀 Before The Launch (BTL) : A brand clarity tool. It helps founders work through their ideas, identify gaps, and get clearer on their brand before working with a designer.
My biggest takeaway? Progress deserves to be published, too.
Both projects are live, and I'm excited to keep building, learning, and improving along the way.
Built with Base44 🖤
Haha felt this so hard! As designers we are never 100% satisfied, always one more tweak. You did the right thing launching — done is better than perfect. Congrats on finally going live!
