In this episode of "Get Over Your Shit," host Malinda Watt delves into the intricate world of hiring website designers. Titled "What Your Website Designer Won't Tell You," this episode equips listeners with crucial information and insider tips for making informed decisions in the often overwhelming process of designing a business website. Malinda draws from her extensive experience to reveal seven key things that website designers might not disclose, ensuring that listeners leave empowered and ready to take on their website projects with confidence.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the essentials: Not every element of your website requires a designer; tools like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace can be user-friendly and cost-effective.
• Be aware of templates: Many designers use templates as starting points, which can save time and money if clients are informed.
• Account for revisions: Clarify the number of revisions included in your contract to avoid unexpected costs.
• Consider long-term control: Ask about site management post-launch to ensure you can edit your website without dependency on the designer.
• Identify potential costs: Ask for a breakdown of all fees, including hidden costs associated with plugins and hosting, to prevent budget surprises.

In this episode, Malinda tackles a daunting topic for many entrepreneurs and digital course creators: building your dream website. She starts by explaining the critical role a website plays as a business's home base, immune to the changing landscapes of social media platforms.

Key Takeaways:

• Building a website is crucial for a stable online presence. Unlike social media, a website is a permanent digital real estate that secures your business from future disruptions.
• You don't need advanced technical skills to create a website. Platforms like WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix offer user-friendly tools suitable for beginners.
• Start with the basics and prioritize functionality over aesthetics. Focus initially on a clean homepage, an about page, and contact details to build a strong foundation.
• Overthinking and striving for perfection can hinder progress. It's important to avoid obsessing over minor design details and instead aim for getting the website live.
• Invest in a professional plan for better control and branding. Free options are limited; a paid plan allows more customization aligned with your business needs.
