How it works in 3 steps

Step 1: Choose where your site lives

Every website needs a home. You have two simple choices based on your goals:

Bluehost: Best if you want a professional WordPress site that can grow with you for years.

Carrd: Best if you want a simple, one-page "digital business card" live in 30 minutes.

See Bluehost Option See Carrd Option

Step 2: Add your content

Don't overthink it. You just need to answer these questions for your visitors:

Headline: What do you do? (e.g., "Graphic Design for Local Bakeries")
The Problem: What pain do you solve for your clients?
The Proof: A few photos of your work or a testimonial.
The Call to Action: A button that says "Email Me" or "Book a Call."

Step 3: A way for clients to contact you

Instead of just listing your email (which gets spam), use a simple form. GetResponse allows you to collect client leads and keep a list of people interested in your work.
