As you may have guessed from the rest of my website, I'm about helping people live their lives to the fullest. That includes me. I'm about helping me live my own life to the fullest, too! And my websites are helping me do that. I spent over 25 years as a professional writer, working primarily in higher education fund-raising. I always felt that this was honorable work, and that I was helping a lot of people by doing it. The problem was--I was miserable. My Mid-life MakeoverSo, at 49, after decades of complaining about my job, I made a change. I decided to "go for" what I really, truly wanted to do--energy healing, which I'd been giving and receiving for years on a non-professional basis, often with amazing results.Within a couple of years, I had gone to massage school (that's a whole story in itself!), quit my job, and opened a private holistic healing practice doing energy work. I Needed a Website . . . But I Had No Idea How to Do ItTo answer client questions and to further my goal of "An Energy Healer in Every Home!", I wanted to build a website. There was a bit of problem here, though. Though a seasoned web user, I knew absolutely nothing about building websites, and it all seemed impossibly complicated to me.Site Build It! to the RescueJust nosing around on the web, I started to find some really cool websites, chock-full of fantastic information. Oddly, there was a common thread--they were built through an outfit called "Site Build It." I looked into it, and it seemed pretty cool. And they promised that I didn't need to know anything about HTML or site building software to get a site up. But the coolest part was their integrity. I really liked their values. And so, though I am by nature a cautious and frugal person, I took the plunge and signed up for Site Build It. And wow, am I glad I did. I was, as Site Build It! (SBI) promised, able to put up a website. I'm not very technical, and yes there was a learning curve--but it was totally doable. And really, I had very few frustrating moments at all. They make it incredibly easy. This website--www.Tacoma-Massage-Therapy.com--is my second SBI website. It comes up easily in the first page when you search for "Massage Tacoma." (That's one of the most important things that SBI teaches you--how to actually get traffic to your site.) That means I get new clients from my website every week. It's my primary marketing tool, and it really works.  Because SBI isn't just a site builder, or a web host. It's an integrated service that teaches you to how to get traffic to your site and how to build a web-based business or support your on-the-ground business. And it gives you an amazing array of tools and educational resources to do it.Really--I feel like I'm getting a masters degree in something. But the final thing that sold me on SBI and makes me such a strong supporter of it is: INTEGRITY. I love, love, love these peoples' values. The whole SBI concept is built on a rock-solid foundation of old-fashioned integrity. They emphasize over and over that their process is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's hard work. And, they emphasize even more strongly that your website--your business-must be built on a foundation of service to your visitors. You must offer your readers something of value. And it can't just be a show--it has to be real. Wow! So that's my story to date. Two SBI websites, both going strong, both bringing me business, both getting good traffic, and both with huge potential for helping me bring in even more business, in a way that feels like "right livelihood" and fully meets my standards for integrity. 
I Think It's the Best Value for the Money Out ThereP.S. You can get a website up less expensively, but I don't think that anyone else at any price offers the comprehensive set of tools, or the support, or the education, or the community, that SBI offers. The value for the money is tremendous. SBI includes all the tools and a proven process to build a long-term, profitable e-business. Even if you decide not to "monetize" your site, as SBI calls it, SBI can teach you how to make a site that does a fantastic job of supporting your grounded, local business.
In closing--all the best to you. May you live your life to the fullest. Perhaps Site Build It! can help you do that! You can build a website with SBI.
