Want A Website That Actually Grows Your Business?
What if you could create a really powerful online presence with someone who’s already done exactly that – all without marketers and salespeople?
Someone who knows what it takes to build a website to reach traffic in the millions every year, year after year… because she’s done it for herself. And now, she wants to help other passionate business owners achieve their goals online.
Think some of that knowledge could help your business? Yes, of course it can!

It’s Hard When You Don’t Know The Difference
There are many choices, options and a lot of jargon when it comes to website design.
Like many business owners, you’re probably great at what you do, but not so knowledgeable about technology or websites.
Or maybe you do know a bit (or a lot!), but don’t want to get bogged down by it all, so you can focus on your clients and customers.
What business owner wants extra stress, problems or issues because they didn’t understand what they were getting… or what they really needed?
The decisions you make about what software, apps or plugins to use and who will build your website will significantly impact how successful your site is.

The Problem With Site Builder Apps
Restrictive and Slower Loading
Free or paid website-builder apps are usually easy to use for those who aren’t very tech-savvy.
There are a few problems with these site builders though.
Firstly, because these apps are designed for ease of use and no coding knowledge, this requires the app to have a lot more code, referred to as bloat. This excess code can slow sites down, making them slower to load – especially what you can’t see, on the server side. Therefore, this can result in ranking below your competitors.
This is because Google sees user experience as very important, and slow loading creates a poor experience. Who hates waiting for a page and all its files to load? Everyone.
In addition, some site builders use cheap, high-volume hosting providers where you’ll be on a shared server with loads of other sites (more load), usually located in the US (because bandwidth is cheaper in the US!). If your customers are in Australia, the data will take longer to load due to the distance from the server.
From my experience, your site will perform better if your servers are located closest to your customers, and if your host uses powerful quality servers (like the ones I use). For example, when I moved my previous business website to a host in the US, my traffic exploded in the US, and my Australian traffic (and rankings) dropped.
Website building apps simply cannot compete with the power and flexibility of WordPress, ideally hosted where your clients are, or set up to maximise reach globally if you have clients worldwide.

The Problem With Cheap Designs
You Get What You Pay For
I see and hear it everywhere… “Can you get a website for $2,000 or less?” The short answer is yes, you can. Especially if all you care about is having a simple page or two where people can see you exist, and you don’t need any bells, whistles or professional optimisation.
The long answer is you’re probably not going to get the traffic, and therefore sales, that is very possible for you.
How so?
Cheap designs may:
>> Use online website builder apps anyway, creating a site with bloat and slow load times
>> Have little or no consideration for SEO (search engine optimisation – how you get found on Google… or not)
>> Make a mess of the code, which needs to be fixed or cleaned up later
>> Only do the very basics and cut corners
>> Not factor in growth and flexibility.
All of these options not only mean spending more money in the not-too-distant future, but it also means you miss out on more clients and opportunities to make money.
I’ve seen $2,000 sites that people like the look of. But looking under the hood, I can see why they’re desperate to get clients. It’s not on the first (or even first 10!) pages of Google for anything they need.
People come to me with sites getting very slow speed/load times and slow, bloated WordPress themes that are holding them back.
When you work with me, that won’t be a problem.
