Has anyone here built their own website from scratch?
If so, what platform or tools did you use, and would you recommend them? I'm currently building my own website and trying to decide the best approach. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have built a website themselves rather than hiring a developer. What worked well for you, what didn't, and if you were starting again today, what would you do differently? I'd love to learn from your experiences. Thanks in advance!

@Al Anderson Hey Mr. Anderson I bought my domain name from Namecheap, and my website is hosted with Hostinger. At the moment, I’m trying to create a WordPress website because I want to offer visitors free downloadable colouring pages and other freebies in exchange for their email addresses. This will help me grow my target audience and support my ongoing email marketing. I already have an infographic, and I’d like my website to look exactly like it. I’m thinking of using Claude Code to build the website for me. I think I’m going to try to work it out myself first. Harleigh has a Shopify store, but I’m not quite ready to open one myself yet. At this stage, I’m going to focus on building my WordPress website first. When the time is right, I may move everything over to Shopify.

@Ainsley Bloomfield I’m leaving WordPress because I find the plugin side of things annoying. I’m going to use Claude Code to build my websites so I can add apps and other interactive features later on.

📚 Question for Children's Colouring Book Creators
Have any of you published a children's colouring book on Amazon KDP or other publishing platforms? I'm currently working on my own children's colouring book project and would love to learn from those who have already been through the process. If you could go back and give your pre-publishing self one piece of advice, what would it be? Poll Options: I'd especially love to hear: - What surprised you most after publishing? - What mistakes would you avoid if starting again? - What worked better than expected? - Is there anything you wish someone had told you before you hit "Publish"? Thank you in advance for sharing your experience. Your advice could save a beginner from making some expensive or time-consuming mistakes! 😊

[NEW Video] Get Your Amazon KDP Children's Books Ready for Wholesale!
Have you ever dreamed of seeing your children's book stocked in a local bookstore, gift shop, or boutique? Many self-published authors assume that wholesale is only for traditionally published books... but that's not true! In my latest YouTube video, I walk through one of the easiest ways to prepare your Amazon KDP children's books for wholesale opportunities without ordering inventory upfront. If getting your books into stores is one of your goals, this is definitely a video you'll want to watch. 👇

It's definitely on my to-do list. The list is just a little longer than I'd like, and it seems to keep breeding new tasks when I'm not looking. 😂 Harleigh, you know I'm not joking. 🤣
