Welcome to episode #85 of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire. In this episode I am delighted to introduce you to my special guest Judy Bigham

After more than 20 years delivering marketing technology solutions for corporate clients, Judy left the corporate world to start her own business JB Home Style Interiors, doing staging and interior redesign. A couple of years in, she re-discovered her inner geek and pivoted to help other creatives build their websites

With jb web studio, Judy brings her love of design, both creative and technical, to translate her client’s business needs into a website solution that sets them up for success.

 

In this episode you will learn:

How the impact of Covid caused Judy to rethink her business offerings

How Judy went from a staging/redesign career to website development for soloprenuers

Why what stage you are in business is an important factor when you are building or growing your website

How to make it easier for Newbies to build their site

Why different business models call for different website needs

Why Judy likes to work with WordPress sites

Why the back end of your web site is so important

What you need to know about security, backing up your website, cookies, google analytics and an SSL certificate
