Scheduling Calls

Let clients book you — without the back and forth

The most popular option. Free tier works great for solo businesses. Syncs with Google Calendar.

Everyone knows it. Easy to set up. Good for quick invoices and simple checkouts.

Shopify Payments

If you sell products, Shopify handles everything — store, checkout, shipping.

Start with one platform. You can always add more later.

Phone vs Desktop

Most of your customers will see your site on their phone first

60%+

of all web traffic is mobile

What to Check

Does your text read well on a small screen?

Are buttons big enough to tap with a thumb?

Do images load fast? Compress them.

Test on your own phone — not just your laptop.

iPad views matter too — check tablet layouts.

Buying a Domain

Your domain is your address on the internet — make it count

01

Pick Your Name

Keep it short, memorable, and easy to spell. Your business name is usually best.

02

Choose a Registrar

Namecheap, Google Domains, GoDaddy, or Cloudflare. Prices range $10–15/year.

03

Pick Your Extension

.com is king. But .co, .shop, .studio can work if your .com is taken.

04

Connect to Hosting

Point your domain to your website host. This is where your site actually lives.

Blogging Platforms

Where should you write and publish?

WordPress

The #1 CMS — powers 40%+ of the web. Tons of themes and plugins. Self-hosted gives you full control.
