Who does each job
A website is not finished when the template is picked. These are the jobs between that and a site that brings you work, and who does them.
| The job | A website builder | My Webby |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing how it looks | You pick a template and lay it out | Two designs come back for your business and you choose |
| Writing the words | You write them | Your expert writes them, you check them |
| Photos | You find and fit them | Send yours over, or your expert sources them |
| A page for each job you want | You build each one | Tell your expert the jobs, they build the pages |
| Getting it ready for Google | You, or an app you add | Done at build, on every page |
| Your domain and hosting | Bought and renewed separately | In the price |
| Business email on your domain | Bought separately | In the price |
| Changing it in six months | You log in and do it | Message your expert, usually done the same day |
| When something breaks | A help centre and a ticket | Your expert, who knows your site |
Every row on the right is a job you would otherwise be doing yourself. See what one of our experts would build you before you decide.
