I have decided to take the leap and invest in a website. Please be patient, as I have found out that creating a website has quite a significant learning curve attached to it. Perhaps I should write some separate posts on the lessons I have learned in setting up my website. If that is something you would like to see, to learn from my mistakes, please let me know in the comments section below.
With my new website, I hope to be able to more effectively display both the products I sell as well as the journey I am making in regards to being a beekeeper and small business owner. I currently have the business on social media and Etsy, but I feel that creating this website will give me a little more control in such areas as marketing and communicating with my customers.
My first piece of advice for those aspiring first-time-web-designers would be to purchase your domain name from a company that will also HOST it. This will prevent the headache later of trying to figure out how to “point” the domain to the hosting site. I know, I know, if you are like me then it might have seemed like I started speaking gibberish for a minute. That’s going to be typical, however, as I have learned that many places will sell you a domain name or offer to host your domain, but they will offer very little information on how to connect everything together. Luckily, there are a number of books, blogs and videos (thank you YOUTUBE!!) that can help you with just about anything in life.
For now, please comment on what you would like to see covered in my blogs and any helpful comments or suggestions you may have.
Bee good.
