CHOOSING A SITE BUILDER & HOSTING


I feel so out of place trying to build my website and deciding on which tools to use. First, we needed to choose a site builder; this discovery landed me on Shopify, which seems easy enough, but I get a little worried while walking through a tutorial. Somehow, I signed up for HostGator, which seemed like a great choice until I was told that Shopify has a hosting site, so a quick call and that was the end of HostGator. As I researched a hosting site, I found that I liked Bluehost because of its offerings and the affordable price tag over a minimum of thirty-six months.

Shopify has a great site, and I have been trying to listen to the tutorials offered and work on the things they have asked me to do. My biggest dilemma is getting quality pictures for my site. I have taken many of my products, but my nephew suggested I hire someone to do this because my pictures don't have the right look. Another nephew has been working on a logo for me, and I do have a friend who owes me a favor that can help with the pictures. I feel blessed by the support of those around me, which gives me hope to keep pushing forward.

It's been a hectic week, and I feel a little lost, but I am enjoying the process and the steps that push me forward in my learning. Project one and its many revisions have helped me better understand the analytics process; the spreadsheet came together in a way that you could see what the top five of your twenty choices would be the best to choose. There seems to be so much more that I need to learn, and being in business is a challenge, but so is life, and I must keep pushing forward to achieve my task.
