Hello again this is Monica Pitts Welcome to marketing with purpose. And today I don't have Katie with me. It's, I mean, you might miss her but I promise you that you're going to love Stacy Brock Meyer who is with me today she is a may create wearer of many hats and one of the hats that she wears extremely well for our company is sales and consulting. Today, Stacy and I are staring out this dreary window and it's raining and sad feeling outside. And so we thought we would talk about heartbreak, how

   0:37  

to break up with people.

   0:39  

Yeah, how to end relationships.

   0:42  

So sad with web designers.

   0:46  

We're gonna teach you how to break up with your web designer.

   0:49  

And that sounds like way less bad than breaking up with your boyfriend. Really.

   0:54  

We're not going to encourage you to do that. We'll let that be your own decision.

So Stacy, tell me about where the journey starts when I'm ready to move on to a new company to build my new website. What do I need to do first?

   1:11  

Yeah, so I think that the very first thing you need to do is understand where you're at right now. And so to do that, you have to review that contract, you have to understand what you own, what the company owns, what you have access to even, and also how long you have to give that company before you can end your services. So a lot of those are 30 days, you have to give 30 day notice before your hosting

   1:40  

before they'll stop billing you.

   1:42  

Yes, and there's multiple parts that might be listed underneath the contract. Things like your hosting space, but also your rights to your files, your code, and even the images that they may have used in your website. You might not be able to use those images in your new website.
