As we are creating Oklahoma Rocks there have been many opportunities to succeed, to try again if a product or an idea didn't work such as creating our website Oklahoma Rocks. There have been several Oklahoma Rocks websites before we found the right editor that is allowing us to build Oklahoma Rocks the way I want it to built. First, we tried Wix. Wix has a great website editor; however, as we were creating our website and preparing to launch we learned that for the Wix site a payment plan had to be selected. If you are a small business starting a website and your funds are limited Wix has many affordable plans but for Oklahoma Rocks we like that if something says free that is what it means so we took a look at our second website. Shopify is similar to Wix but as we are reading we're creating Oklahoma Rocks, and everything is good. We were getting deeper into our launch and then we learned that a password was required for our customers. I didn't like that. We need you , our customers, to have access to our website without having to enter a password to shop. Our next website, oklahomarocks.square.site is still live. if you click the link you will see an example. If you clicked the link then you know it's not a great website. I created an Instagram post about it. I didn't like the editor or the flow of the website from Square and as I'm thinking more about my website I have been doing a lot of work. I did SEO, editing, adding products, creating content but it was still not correct. It is 100% working but not quite the way I want it. All of these opportunities to keep trying lead me to the creation of the new Oklahoma Rocks which if you are reading this is where you are now and baby it is great. This website was created using Weebly. Weebly may be associated with Square but are completely set apart in website creation.
The Weebly website platform is so much simpler and easier. If you have a small business you will have to try it for yourself. It is a 100% free hosting service that gives you the choice of buying your domain or functioning as a fully operational subdomain. Oklahoma Rocks has not purchased a domain yet but it is something we are definitely considering. The drag and drop editor makes everything so simple. If you want to pick a theme there are many to choose from and many tutorials. As you read you are walked through each step of what you are supposed to do. Now Oklahoma Rocks has been created on our wonderful Weebly platform and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Weebly, Oklahoma Rocks and you our readers and customers!
