Summary

In this episode I tackle a listener question from my Q&A box: does building a website from scratch take a lot of hours for a newbie? Short answer, yes, and probably more than you think. I get into why website design is really art versus science, why some of us just don't have the "eye" for it, and why I'd never start from a blank page when a template will save you. I also share a few personal and business updates before our Switzerland trip, including whether I'm brave enough to brick my phone the whole time.


What I Talked About

  • Prepping before vacation
  • Bricking my phone in Switzerland and taking my downtime seriously
  • Business updates: my waitlist, fewer hours, and building out the not-done-for-you side
  • Collaborating with Shante on messaging plus design
  • How my anonymous Q&A box works
  • The listener question on building a website from scratch
  • Why you shouldn't start from scratch
