Today’s fab podcast convo was all about websites.

Katrina Fouracre is a self-taught WordPress expert with 10 years of experience helping entrepreneurs build websites. 

These are the questions she was asked, which are common questions amongst creators, live streamers and podcasters.  Her answers are insightful, so I hope they help you.

Katrina believes that any platform can be good for SEO depending on the content and design, not the platform itself. WordPress is flexible and can grow with a business as it scales, unlike platforms like Wix and Squarespace which limit functionality. 

Katrina explains that websites are the "glue" that connects all marketing strategies by providing central information. They add credibility and trust compared to those without sites. While social media is useful, people research online and websites provide accessible information.

Katrina recommends updating WordPress weekly/fortnightly for security and consistency for content without focusing on quantity over quality. Divi and Elementor themes are beginner friendly but can slow sites. 

Videos should be hosted externally on YouTube/Vimeo and embedded.  For fast hosting, consider storage, servers in the target country/region, SSL certificates (included standard), and good support. Resources needed scale with site size/content. Regular maintenance also impacts speed.

Thank you for tuning in!
