Hi there,
A month or two ago, people started telling me that they had trouble following
my tutorial for building a website.
Clearly, the software had changed enough that
my tutorial needed an update.
I knew it had been awhile since I created that tutorial, but
I was surprised to find that I actually created it over 4 years ago! That was when my son was a little baby. I guess time flies when you have kids!
If you've listened to my podcast, you know I recommend
Square Online for building a website.
But things have changed a lot in the past 4 years, so
I wondered: is Square Online still the best?So before creating a new tutorial, I did some research. And it turns out that,
yes, Square Online is still the best free website builder for cottage food businesses.
In fact, it's so good that I would say that
if you are paying for a website, you are throwing your money away.*So
I just created a brand new tutorial for building a website, and I'm happy to report that it's less than 30 minutes long (my previous one was over an hour).

* There's one exception to this: if your business is making over $1k/month of
online sales, then it might be beneficial to pay for a premium plan on Square Online, or switch to Shopify, which is a better fit for larger ecommerce businesses. But until you get to that point, the free version of Square Online is a great stepping stone.
