Web design

I’ve been trying to use wix, but they keep trying to insert online sales. I don’t want online sales. Does anyone have another decent site to use?

I have a small part time business and I cultivate relationships which lead to other work for me. I also live in a rural area so there isn’t a ton of work around me. I just need people to be able to find me other than google, which doesn’t ever seem to list my business in the searches no matter what I do. I do some print advertising now and I have 2 billboard kind of signs (professionally done but not full billboards). I only put out bandit signs where I am working.

There is a learning curve to it but the You Tubes will walk you through it. I signed up with Siteground & used the Elementor plug-in to build it. It’s right around $220 for one year. That includes the domain & everything. Also includes an email with whatever @ your URL.

You can also go the GoDaddy route. Very user friendly.

They steal websites. If you’re a day late on your payment, they’ll buy your URL & hold it hostage until you pay them a fee to get it back - just like a predatory tow truck driver. Just make sure you do your research & get a real deal WordPress website however you decide to roll.

They all do it. I bought several domain names, as soon as they expired they were relisted for a couple of k.

Who was it on here had a nice side by side (before and after pic app) they used. I can’t find it in the search engine. Couldn’t have been more than 4 months ago. Figures I forgot to bookmark it

Maybe it was @PPWofLexSC not sure

Not sure who or which one it was…just search for a pic slider and see what you find. There’s several and they’re all pretty slick.

I don’t own one, I’m sorry. Used to sell the Mahindra UTV’s but they’ve discontinued the Retriever models and jumped to the more Jeep style Roxer.


For the Town though we have a few different UTV’s, but we tend to drift towards using our Kubota’s most often than our Bobcat (rebranded Polaris) and our old JD Gator. The Kubota just seems more resilient to our new guys…

I’m going to wager that was intentional…either way :+1: :+1:

Wager as you’d like…but let’s just say that the driver of the Kubota is no longer an employee of ours

Hopefully he’s still someone’s employee…I was referring to the change use usage of “side-by-side”, to not be about before/after pics as the question intended… But I’m always up for Jeep pics, so I’m game either way.

Weebly is very good and simple, I’m in the process of building mine.

I would not use Go Daddy. I built this by myself with WordPress. It is very easy to use and the possibilities are endless! I’m just a guy who sprays water in the warm months and tries to update website and SEO items in the cold months!

Looks good, but I’d really spend an hour and get a decent high res image for the header on the site. What you have now looks awful, if I didn’t do pressure washing I’d have no idea what I was looking at. Just a suggestion.

Thank you, I agree about the header picture as well, it is on my list of things to do this winter.

Get over to google and sign up for google search console I’ve been using for a while it scans your site and gives you a score out 100 it’s brilliant it even suggests what you can do to up your score, just with a few tweaks my score is 100 on desk top and 97 on mobile and my click through rate has gone from 4 to 7.6% I’ve noticed more traffic and sales since and I’m on first page 3rd item all organic search :man_dancing:t3:, and it’s free kinda tells you what Google’s wants to see

What is the url to see your score? I looked and wasnt able to find It

Just google ‘ search console” You have to sign up with google in search console to see you scores put your domain in and it tracks it & shows history of how it’s doing its well worth doing as is shows all your metrics so you know what works if your fiddling with seo :+1:t2:

Don’t leave it to long as google and it’s algorithms can see low res pics it’s really filtering out just the best results for searcher lately keep doing little bits here and there so when it crawls it’s finding something new or it will see it as stale and give the searcher a better result :+1:t2:
