Welcome to The WebCami Podcast—Web Designer Habits Edition, your go-to resource for building better habits as a web designer. Each week, I focus on one actionable habit to help you streamline workflows, stay organized, and grow your business. Whether you’re a WordPress enthusiast, a Squarespace pro, or a solopreneur looking to level up, this podcast is packed with practical tips, insights, and personal stories to keep you inspired. Join me, Cami MacNamara—an experienced web designer with over 20 years in the industry—as I help you build habits to make your business (and life) run smoother. Let’s keep building better habits together!
The end of the year will be here before we know it, and the holiday rush can make it easy to give away time we meant to keep for ourselves. One simple way to protect that time is to set a weekend out-of-office email that lets clients know when they can expect a response.
In this episode, I talk about why an automatic reply can be helpful even when you're only away for the weekend. A client sending an email on Saturday isn't necessarily expecting an immediate response. They may just be catching up on their own work. Your out-of-office message removes the guesswork and gives you one less reason to check your inbox.
I also share how I handle my own weekend schedule. I close at 4 p.m. on Fridays and work on Sundays, but that doesn't mean I'm available for every client request. I'll walk through what to include in a reusable weekend message, how to explain emergency support, and why it's worth preparing a separate version for holiday closures.
