"We find ourselves charging based on our time but not charging on the value that we bring to the table."

Introduction

Bonnie Bakhtiari from “B is for Bonnie Design” is on the podcast today chatting about the three most common pricing mistakes that she sees designers make. Even if you’re not a designer, these are pricing mistakes that any service-based business needs to be aware of. We dive into those pricing mistakes and then chat about what businesses should do instead. Bonnie is a brand designer and strategist who also educates other brand designers, graphic designers, and web designers on how to create profitable businesses. Be sure to check out the show notes at daveyandkrista.com for the resources that we mentioned during the episode.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
