Website Builder

« Back to Glossary Index

It’s an “all in one” website creator. It’s user interface or UI is created with the non-techie in mind so you can pick and choose colors, images and an overall theme from their collection of themes/templates. Sounds GREAT right? Well, with that comes a lot of limitations BUT let’s be honest if you’re using a website builder and doing it yourself then you’re probably not missing the many other things creating your website in let’s say WordPress would provide you but if you’re serious about your business then this is one of your most important investments.

One of the biggest CONS to using a website builder that many of my clients of discovered way too late and after MANY hours of work on their website design is that you are paying these website builder providers to not only host your website but to use their templates and their interface and you can NOT export it and use it in another builder OR convert it to a WordPress website. Therefore, if you outgrow the limited website builder you can not keep your work and build on that on a new platform, so really it was never YOUR website to do what you want.

Popular Website Builders: Wix, SquareSpace, Godaddy’s GoCentral Website Builder, Weebly, Shopify.

We LOVE our new website! It's been a few months now and we are still hearing compliments weekly on how gorgeous our website is. Additionally, we are a local, service-based business and since the website redesign we have seen a noticeable increase in new, organic leads. We were so happy with this new relationship that we took the plunge and had them migrate all our files and emails to Microsoft 365 thus transitioning fully to the cloud. As a small

To say our interoffice computer setup was outdated and inconsistent would be an understatement. Every station was piecemealed (and OLD) and we were all working on different versions of software, with odd quirks and bugs constantly needing to be handled, which just became part of our everyday. The bugs got to the point that we were forced to make changes. In came Josie who had the knowledge of exactly how to set us up from spec’ing the exact right hardware,

Josie got our whole company operating on the cloud, including our email and documents as well as both Mac & Windows platforms. Everyone is now so much more efficient, using the same email platform and able to find and access documents quickly. The whole process was seamless and Josie was a pleasure to work with!

Josie took over all of my Hair Studio’s marketing and promotion in 2016. She rebranded our name/logo and designed a website that captured new emails and she integrated Vagaro, which is a an online booking service. I can honestly say that I have seen a tremendous amount of new clients as a result of my local search rankings improving tremendously. Josie knows what she’s doing! She’s extremely smart and she’s always on top of the ever changing digital marketing world.

Our small business needed a website and we had no idea how to turn our idea into a simple, clean one page site. We contacted Josie and she was very knowledgeable and understanding of what our needs and wants were. She validated our hard work we had already invested into building our site and made our dream a reality. We had already built a site that was a confusing jumble on Wix and she was able to turn that into

I always struggle with technology. I have taken computer classes which offer good overall information, but it's the one-on-one learning that has been the most helpful to me. I have been very happy with Josie’s help regarding my projects, questions, and concerns. Josie has helped me understand computer language and programs, she has helped me organize my information, and she has provided “How To videos” of our sessions for me to refer to later on. In addition, Josie helped me
