I set out on a mission today: to learn more about the background of running my website. I'm in the middle of rebranding and wanted to make sure I met the audience I am looking for from the very beginning this time around using experience I gained along the way before. Here I opened KZbin looking for some tutorials to play in the background as I thumb through some old website pages looking for salvageable goods, and then I found this masterpiece of a video. I stopped what I was doing somewhere around step 4 and restarted with my undivided attention. I learned so very much in less than 20 minutes! You kept a good pace, showed us along the way the entire way, in a manner that makes perfect sense - and you left us with all the resources at our fingertips? Thank you so very much for giving me the confidence that I now have today going back to my SquareSpace account.

[@Nottibotti]

So, how’s it going with running the website?

[@WinningTrades4U]

Settle down, nerd

[@Blaze0647]

What I appreciate most about this vid is these are small actionable steps that most would've forgotten during the design stage.

[@ridhishamekala8237]

OMG I'm jumping with joy right now! Cannot afford a graphic designer right now so this video is wonderful. Thank you!

[@lowbuffer]

Man I was hoping to gain a little knowledge from this video and you just handed out a free 6 month course within one video. So grateful for the work you put into this!

[@georgetoghanro8739]

This video tutorial is awesome! Not only was it fun to watch, it's loaded with top-notch tips and facts. Facts were presented in a straightforward style.... no mocking about, no dilly dallying. Authoritative and highly educative! Thumbs up!!!

[@sarahgondos]

This is incredible and so well done. I learned a lot. I have an entire list of ideas now. Thank you so much!!

[@evarottenanger9375]

This is brilliant! I've watched a number of presentations on website building from others. The difference with your videos - this one and others you've made - is that they make sense, you don't go too fast; you follow from point to point logically; you don't gloss over tech jargon that viewers might not know; you explain unfamiliar terms, and your voice is so lovely to listen to. You inspire so much confidence. I know I can do this now!! Thank you so much.

[@curiousrefuge]

Wow I can’t explain how much this means to me. Thank you so much for the encouragement and kindness. I wish you all the best as you work on your business.
