A Community for Web Designers
Design your tech stack.
The way websites are designed and built is changing fast. New tools, evolving platforms, and AI-assisted workflows are expanding what’s possible – while also making decisions more complex.
In this live session, we’ll explore how freelancers and studios are thinking about tools and tech stacks in 2026, and how those choices show up across different types of projects.
Rather than focusing on any single platform, we’ll talk through questions like:
- What does a modern web tech stack actually look like today?
- When does it make sense to use one primary platform versus multiple tools?
- How do teams decide what to build with when requirements, budgets, and expectations vary?
- How are AI-driven tools influencing web design and development workflows?
- What factors tend to matter when choosing tools for long-term maintainability and flexibility?
The goal of this session isn’t to crown a “best” platform—but to surface the considerations, tradeoffs, and decision-making patterns shaping how websites are being designed in 2026.
This conversation is for freelancers, studio owners, designers, and developers who want a clearer picture of how today’s web stacks are evolving—and how others are navigating those choices.
We’ll also be sharing an ongoing 2026 topics survey during the stream for anyone interested in helping shape future sessions.
As with every Build, Launch, Earn stream, we’ll be giving away a Stripe Press book to a few lucky live attendees.
