Hi Reader!

Some of my favorite conversations happen at networking events. Someone asks what I do, I tell them I design websites for small business owners, and almost right away the questions start coming!

After a while I realized I was hearing the same ones over and over, and I think that’s because most people have a few website questions on their mind but don’t usually get the chance to ask someone who just gives them a straight answer.

So here are quick answers to three of the eight questions I hear most.

How much does a website cost?​
Honestly, it depends on what’s included. When you’re comparing quotes, look at whether strategy, copy, and revisions are part of the package, because the lowest price isn’t always the best deal once you add in everything you’ll need.

Can AI build my website?​
It can definitely get you started! Where most people need help is the finishing, making sure the site is accessible, works beautifully on a phone, and actually brings in inquiries instead of just looking nice.

Do I need a new website?​
If you feel proud sending people to it, you probably don’t. If you find yourself hesitating before you share the link, it’s worth a conversation.

I walk through all eight questions in this week’s episode of Website Design Made Simple. The Questions I Get Asked Most at Networking Events [Ep 151]​

What’s the website question you’ve been meaning to ask? I’d love to hear it, and it might even end up in a future episode, so hit reply and let me know!

You've got this,

P.S. Here’s something I think about after every networking event... the people you meet will almost always look up your website before they ever reach out. Pull yours up on your phone today and make sure the first line says exactly what you do, because that’s often your second first impression!
