Thinking about building your own website?
 Before you dive into a DIY platform like Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify, let’s talk about the real pros, the hidden downsides, and how to know if DIY is actually the right move for your business.

In this episode, I’m breaking down: 

✅ When DIY website builders make sense
✅ Why they can hurt growing businesses
✅ The truth about “web designers” who just resell templates (and why it’s costing you)
✅ How to launch strong with a custom-coded site — even as a brand new business

If you’re serious about growing your brand and want a website that’s strategic, scalable, and actually built for you, this one’s a must-listen.
