Your Website Is Live. Now What? Why You Need to Be Able to Use It. [Ep 132]

🔍 This episode is brought to you by the Homepage Clarity Check Bot , a free custom GPT that reviews your homepage and tells you exactly what to fix first. Ever launched a website and then wondered what happens next? Many small business owners assume that once their site goes live, managing it is someone else's job. But if you can't get in and make updates yourself, even the most beautiful website will slowly stop working for you. On this episode, we talk about why being able to use your website after launch matters just as much as how it looks, and what to do if you're not there yet. YOU WILL LEARN: Why a website launch is the beginning of the process, not the end. The most common reasons small business owners can't update their own sites and what to do about it. How the platform you're on and the way your site is built directly affects how easy it is to manage. What questions to ask your designer before a project starts so you're set up to succeed. Why training and documentation after launch are just as important as the design itself. How to find out right now whether your website is set up in a way you can actually use.
