Thanks for watching. What is your biggest takeaway from this video? Tell us in the comments.

Very valuable insight! Luckily, I hired a content writer for my recruiting firm website and a web designer who previously owned an executive search firm. My business development partner is SEO specialist so I hope our "storefront" will be attractive enough to generate business. One of my biggest take away was your advice to hire a web designer who will give the customer real time progress on the project. I missed that vetting element. With that said I would love to receive your feedback once the end product is delivered. Thank you. Lucien

This was really good. I’m an artist in my 60’s with a Squarespace website I made. The gallery I’m in is in NY, and I am having them make my website. I was so worried but actually I understand the 5 questions you mentioned. My first meeting is today, you really helped, thank you

[@coolastheundersideofthepil765]

My last comment was just an attention-grabber I did not mean to send it.. what I was getting too was that I totally appreciate you guys great job

[@eashaanantha6944]

Very insightful!😊

[@michellehartley8166]

Thanks so much for this information. i am currently considering starting an online business and I am trying to get as much information as possible to be able to ask the right questions and to have the necessary knowledge when I do start looking for the right firm to move forward with. Thanks again.

[@shelleymccoy1296]

Great information. Will use the 5 questions discussed! Very helpful for non-professional marketer.

[@bryan2287]

Great points. Biggest takeaway was outsourcing vs all in one developer. Timeline and weekly involvement was my 2nd biggest takeaway. Thanks for the informative insite. SUBBED

[@merci_beautè]

Thanks!

It really registered with me when you said 70% of people decide where they are going to shop based on the company’s website. I started thinking of my research I do online when in the market for something and I generally go with the company with the best website and most recently updated information on their website. If see a banner for their 2020 holiday hours on their home page, I’m out. It tells me they don’t their site seriously and there are probably other things in their business they “let slide”.

[@slam-media]

You're right on the money!

As an agency we stopped updating the portfolio site 5 years ago. None of our clients need it because we're never going to copy our site to make their site.

If you go to buy a tailored suit, the sale person will be wearing something up to date. I am not buying their suit off their back, nor am I copying it; I wanna know that the person in front of me is knowledgeable and stands behind their product.

[@haseternity]

Thanks for these insights!

[@michaelcummings8119]

WordPress was problematic. Love shopify

Thanks for watching!

[@rfmaurone]

just found you, made notes, thanks and I may be back to you in the next two weeks, unless you reach out to me first

[@lawofthesun]

In terms of payments and customers sensitive details, how do you make sure that the web designers do not have access to it if they are building it from abroad

[@jss_developer]

usually they have login access with you can revoke once they hand over the site to you. AND, they usually just place in TEST keys . YOU do have to trust that person in order to do business with them, or find someone who you trust that can guide you on the process when using the LIVE keys. which you shouldnt share with anyone. and not expose client side(new devs often forget. depending how new.)

[@sophiarenalds1586]

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@LuDionsNEXTFIT]

This was a great video. Thanks

[@slam-media]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joyceblissett4110]

Love it

[@noahriding5780]

I've never done anything like this before. If I build a website, do I have to give the login user name & pass for my web hosting to the guy designing the website? Or can they build that without actually going into the web hosting & web domain? Thanks.

[@slam-media]

They can build it on their own servers then transfer to you. Or if you don't have a website yet, then they can build it on your host's server. However, at some point, your domain has to be pointed to the server, so someone will need your credentials.

[@gAAmeplAAN]

Dang ! Thanks

[@joesdi]

Any updates? Or these stay the same in 2022-2023?

[@slam-media]

Same for now

[@fazilali8657]

[@joesdi]

Bet you ain't got a career.
