How to Make a Great Website | What No One Tells You

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Which tip was most helpful to you?

[@davidrivers3120]

Thank you for this Stave. You are a gem. The most helpful was the idea about the website being for a purpose and goal. To ask, is it helping to accomplish this goal. As a designer of websites for business owners and startups, I spend my days with multiple website builders open simultaneously and tend to do multiple versions of clients sites in several platforms. There is no end to the exploration of the digital realms For what its worth, I feel that your website/youtube is providing more than website builder advice, your a voice for awakening the curiosity and courage to explore technology in a self empowered way, in your viewers and this is a true service.

Hi Steve, Just wanted to say that after scouring the web on and off for years on website building tips, I finally stumbled upon this video and couldn't be more thankful. Really appreciate the awareness and observations you were able to compile and share in under 6 minutes. It gave me the jolt I had needed all this time to finally get started on my project. Hope more people get a chance to view this video. Cheers, T

Any fool can add only a genius can subtract - great video, well done!

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Well I like that comment... thanks George!!

[@Ambrosha385]

@@stevebuildswebsites Yes; your videos are incredible - this characteristic is key. Subbed!

[@Junior-ru1wd]

Did you coin this? I found it to be profound. As I'm in education and boy do they like to add 😂. Well said.

[@g30rg3-c5]

@ I wish I did but it came from my design teacher back in 1980. It has always stuck with me. Simple to understand yet difficult to master⚡️

[@charleybowling5955]

Really great video. I always thought I had to portray the image of a larger company or people would be scared to buy my services. "People buy from people." Love it

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Totally. I used to think that too :)

[@i7want7some7one]

This is the second video of yours I've seen. In both, you sound like you've had five hours of sleep and need a cup of coffee. I know that'd be a turn off for some people, but, honestly, it makes me feel like you're genuine. Like, you're a regular dude. You want to help us, not trick us into throwing down a couple hundred, which is super evident by you making these vids and giving that guide out for free. Dude, you're awesome. I can't believe how real you are.

[@missdanaswisdom]

Thank you for your insight. "Keeping things simple and clear as possible," "Speak humanly and plainly."

[@stevebuildswebsites]

[@a.j.anielski3685]

I was sceptical before watching this video as there is so much basic and wrong information out there but this was very informative and clued in, thank you!

[@50french23]

Thank you! Love the audio, I feel like I’m back in a college class!

[@davidrivers3120]

[@pauls7056]

Thank you for posting. As you say, people probably know the principles intuitively; but it's great to have it all pulled together and see the whole.

Does squarespace, weebly and wix all have font options, more specifically, can we download a font and use it on the site?

[@stevebenjaminsmusic]

They all have a selection of font options but you can't download a font and use it on any of them (or any website builder for the matter). Fonts are very tricky on the web. To import your own font you'll need to dabble in a little CSS (see this: stackoverflow.com/questions/13585186/how-can-i-use-custom-fonts-on-a-website). You can use your own fonts on Wordpress.

[@NicoleArrage]

This is very useful information, thank you for the quick response!

[@jaked5947]

Hi. What is required to actually pass the website over? I'm just starting out building a website for somebody, but I'm not sure how to pass about everything required to pass it over to them? I assume they need a hosting site and then I transfer it to that?

[@Jamie-bc6vm]

What a great video! Thanks for the information.

[@AdoDzeko10]

Best video about websites and I sell websites since 2016..

[@mamaskylee2102]

Can you give me your insight about shopify vs weebly? In own opinion what works better?

[@1000left]

Brilliant!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@Tlove201]

Wow. Thanks so much for the pointers and tips.

[@DamienDillon]

You haven't mentioned Duda on your website from what I can see and Duda's platform is by far the best of all website builders.

[@stevebuildswebsites]

What is it about Duda specifically that you find better than other website builders?

[@Glasher1]

I've been trying to build a site that was meant for a just handful people that play a specific game and we all know each other. It isn't intended for the masses but all the builders I checked out are. Cookie cutter flexibility. Paid or not, I'd rather not have a site at all than settle for what I've found so far. The hunt goes on. If I'm lucky I'll run across the one I used 10-12 years ago if I could remember it's name. Do I sound frustrated? Angry? lol I suppose so. Good video though.
