Whether you are DIY-ing your website, you're working with a designer, or you're wondering if your existing website is up to par, this episode will give you tons of insight into setting yourself up for long-term success. I'm sharing the nine things I wish I had known before creating my first website.

We all know how important it is to have a website for our businesses to build your brand, drive your audience to valuable content, and give you a place to build trust with your current and potential customers. But it's so easy to only focus on creating a pretty website and not even consider how it will perform in the long term.

In this episode, I'm sharing the value of having a clear vision and how it can impact your website's success, how to choose the right website platform and the different options available, the critical reasons to keep your website host and domain host separate, and the value of high-quality content and SEO on your website.

01:22 - The importance of having a clear vision before starting to create a website
03:15 - The difference between the most common website platforms and my top recommendations
11:32 - The key to maintaining flexibility and control over your website
13:52 - The significant role your hosting provider plays in your website's success
17:57 - What is the Caveman test, and how to make sure your website passes
