How I Survived (and Thrived) Building My Business Website

Hello lovelies!

This week, I finally finished the website for my business. I learned A LOT during this process, not just about web design.

After spending two months on something I naively thought would take a couple of weeks, I’ve come away feeling proud of myself and a new sense of self-confidence, which is a strange feeling.

It’s almost like I feel ready now to propel myself forward in my business rather than continue to spend my time on the sidelines, hesitating about what to do.

There is a sudden sense of calm that everything is somehow falling into place, and I just need to keep moving along as I am.

Calm and confident. Two words I rarely use when talking about myself. It’s bizarre.

I didn’t rush through my website as I usually would, eager to get it done so I could advertise my new services. It had to be right. I had to give my own business the same time and respect I would give to anyone else’s.

When I was happy with it and surprised to find I was, I sent out a quick survey to my nearest & dearest to take a look and give their honest feedback.

The replies came back quickly, and all were positive. There were one or two adjustments to be made, but not as many as I expected. And I honestly can’t express just how grateful I am to those who took the time to look, give feedback and even share my website.
