How We Built this Website


When we first talked about building our own website, we naturally thought the best place to look would be the internet.

Though that proved to be true, it was also frustrating. So much conflicting information about hosting, search engine optimization, domain name registration, submitting pages to directories... We thought we'd never make sense of it all.

The lure of cheap web hosting was attractive at first. But by the time we added up all the things we would need for a viable, successful site, it amounted to thousands of dollars. Money we didn't have and were unlikely to get.

The sites we saw being built for a song didn't leave their owners singing for long. You see, it's easy to build a website. It's hard to build a web business.

That's where Site Build It comes in. SBI, as it's commonly known, came to our rescue. They take care of the technical part--researching, planning and building a website--and make it manageable.


While they're doing all the hard stuff behind the scenes, we concentrate on building pages that deliver the patterns, tips and how-to articles that people search for.


Katherine and I each have our favorite tasks to perform, it's true, but we know that either of us could easily maintain and build this site, using SBI's Action Guide and Block by Block page builder. We don't have to worry about HTML or any other code.

SBI enables us to work together in a viable business that we can do from home, on our own terms and our own schedule. We're finding there is a good reason that people say, "I love SBI!"

Many people dream of starting a small business. Often the very idea of it seems unrealistic. But with SBI and the power of the web, people all over the world are achieving independence for themselves and their families. The results speak for themselves.

We learned that no matter what your background, there is a way to turn your knowledge, your hobby, your passion into a website you'll be proud to own.

Our own "product" is purely free information, yet we earn money every time someone clicks on a Google Ad on our site. We can also earn by becoming affiliates with businesses we respect and trust. Whenever someone follows our link to their store and makes a purchase, we get a commission.

You may not even think you can write. That's okay. SBI coaches you through everything you need to do:

  • picking the perfect topic for your website
  • writing in a natural way that is "you"
  • building informative pages
  • getting people to your site
  • making money

No matter what the subject!

Of course, we can add products to our website if we choose. SBI can help us do that, too. Other sites earn money by making referrals. You can get some ideas by looking at some case studies that show what other SBIers are doing.

Is it hard work? Yes. But it is the best work we've ever loved. Remember, it doesn't feel like work if you're passionate about it. We wake up every day, happy to "go to work!"

If we can do it, you can do it. Give it a try. SBI has a full refund offer.

You'll never have to use it.

Once you see all the tools that are included to help you succeed, you'll be off and running with your own website!

If you've ever thought about starting your own home business, visit SBI. It's the best way to run a web business on your own terms, in your own time.

We're so glad we did! And so are our grandchildren.
