We have a LOT to say.  Random aside: we also have a Bridgerton audio theme this season, so enjoy!Today, Bobbi and I are talking about websites. We’ll give you our best advice for thinking about the objectives your website needs to meet, how it supports your business, why it’s okay to use a social media page as a temporary placeholder while you’re getting clear on the website you need and want, and take some of the confusion out of the technical side of your website.We’re also talking real numbers of how many times we’ve updated our sites, how much money we’ve spent over the years updating and maintaining our sites (gulp), and answering common questions about platforms and content.Listen to the full episode to hear about:* Where to really start when you’re building a website* Benefits and limitations of popular website platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and Wordpress* What questions you need to ask yourself before you start putting content on your site* The thing people should immediately see when they land on your siteTo learn more about Bobbi Palmer:* Date Like a Grownup (http://www.datelikeagrownup.com/)To learn more about Christie Mims:* Coach Pony (https://coachpony.com/)* Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiemims/)* Build A Real Business (https://coachpony.com/barb-invite/)Resources: * Jumpstart Your Business Bootcamp: www.coachpony.com/bootcamp (http://www.coachpony.com/bootcamp)* Free Marketing Quick Start (http://www.coachpony.com/marketing)If you have some chocolate worth reviewing on the show, we are easily bribed! Email us at hello@coachpony.com with your recommendation or if you want to send us something to try!
