Today my guest is Vimalan Vijayskaran, the founder of ViDesigns.
He's three years into his agency journey. He has successfully completed, along with his five -man team, over 200 Webflow projects, partnering with top global brands such as Red Bull, Tony Blair Institute, London Interdisciplinary School and loads of other people, obviously.
Now in 2022, they expanded their horizons by venturing into product development. They have built to date six different products and they have over 25 ,000 active monthly users.
These include Formly, FlowPlay, VDS, Chrome extension, FlowPilot, VDS Webflow extension and Bulk SEO.
I'd be surprised if you guys hadn't used at least one of those in the last week alone.
Interestingly, he's worked for Finsuite, Code and Wonder and Hans Springer Labs.
This was all before he started his own studio. We'll get into that and much more in this episode. But of course, it's not all been smooth sailing. This kind of growth does not come with some growing pains.
The fails that we talk about in today's episode are hiring the wrong people slash unable to delegate, failing to scope the project properly and set expectations and taking too long to understand that retainers aren't that bad.
So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 98 of Webflail with Virmalam
The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

  1. Hiring the wrong people / unable to delegate
  2. Failing to scope the project properly & set expectations
  3. Took too long to understand that retainers aren't that bad
