Sound familiar?
If any of the four below hit close to home, this site is probably worth another two minutes.
-
Are you an indie maker carrying everything alone?
Products, consulting, billing, content — every part lives in a different tool, and ops eats into building time.
-
Want to focus on the work, not on being interrupted?
Buyers ping you at all hours for quotes, scope, and changes. They actually just want to pay and pick a time.
-
Want a steady stream of clients, but don't know where to find them?
Word of mouth and referrals aren't durable. You need a place where the right people can find you over time.
-
Want to swap notes with other interesting people?
Working solo is lonely. A few conversations about tech, direction, and the things you've tried move things forward much faster.
Why Lao Wei's Circle?
I've been using it myself for over a year now. These are real benefits, not marketing copy.
-
Everything you make, on one domain
Stop scattering product links across a WeChat signature, a Notion page, and a bio. One URL, laowei.circle, shows the full picture.
-
Consulting that respects your time
Clients book via Cal.com and pay through Stripe / Creem themselves. You only talk to people who have already paid.
-
WeChat, Alipay, and cards — one button
CN visitors go through Creem (WeChat Pay + Alipay); international visitors go through Stripe (cards + Apple Pay). Nobody leaves your domain.
-
Testimonials that compound
Reviews aren't a one-shot ad — they're linked, traceable feedback from real past clients, visible to anyone who lands here.
-
Prices you control
Every product and service is its own MDX file. Edit, git push, deployed. No platform commission, no buyer-mind-games.
Founder's note
I built a site I wanted to use myself
I've been shipping indie products for a few years and wanted one place that I controlled for my work, consulting, writing, and billing.
Nothing off the shelf fit. Notion is too light, Shopify is too heavy, personal-site templates all look the same and want you to sign up for a dozen SaaS products before you've written a single line.
So I built this — one domain, one founder, one checkout that doesn't bounce you off to a third-party page. If it happens to fit you too, I'm glad.
Featured service
1:1 Consulting
A 60-minute video session focused on your current project — diagnosis plus a concrete next-step plan.
What I'm doing now
Not a marketing page — actual current focus, recent wins, and what's next. Updated as it changes.
What they say
Real feedback from past clients and collaborators — every link is traceable.
Having products, consulting, and proof in one place stopped the tab-hopping. I bought on the first visit.
The 1:1 session recap reads like a tiny design doc — I shipped the changes the next morning.
The course wires the whole toolchain together — I finished migrating my old project over a weekend.
