    I haven't seen yours though.

    Edited to add: I took a peek at your website and it's really cute! Definitely NOT the same template as the others I saw. I amend my original statement... I've never been impressed with the child care sites I've seen that used Wix, except for MsLisa's. There are probably other cute ones but I haven't seen them.
    It's all good & Thank you.
    I've never really seen other Wix ones but it all really depends on how much time and effort the person puts into it. Everything is a template, its all on how you use it.

    I've put together several websites and the difference from my first to my last is incredible. But I still need to work hard on my weebly website compared to some of the pros here!
    Exactly!
    I STILL nit-pick at my website. Heck, I totally revamped it yesterday AGAIN. I am never satisfied but i'm getting better. Its my graphic designer curse! .

    Go for it!
    Its the only thing I ever kept from when you ladies helped me. I literally just added the graphics yesterday cause I though it look too plain {like a wall of text}.

      I'm completely tech illiterate and can't do much with my computer. My 23 yo dd had to do my budget forms for me.
      Wix is moderately easy. A lot of just double click and add. Pick a template with the general "feel" that you like and go from there. To me, its having all the info you want to put in it that's the hard part.
      I will say this if you use Wix.....SAVE OFTEN!!!!!!!

        I think with any web editor you should save often, I think programs tend to freeze up no matter what web building site you use. It's good practice to save often and refresh the page every 10 minutes or so or get into the habit of saving after you complete a section/paragraph.

        OP if you decide to go with Webs I would be more than happy to help you get started. I have a step-by-step on getting started with Webs here and you can always PM me for my email and ask me questions as you go along

          Thanks for all the help guys. I have not started looking to hard yet, I have spent the afternoon printing, cutting and laminating pictures for sorting and lacing cards. I will be glad when DD gets home from her summer job, she loves this creative stuff to me it is a chore . But I would rather do it than pay for someone else to.

            My website is made from Wix & I like it.
            I use Wix too and like it. Although it does work best if you start with a blank template rather than edit a sample one (that was a nightmare, for me anyway). It is very easy to edit and add to also:-)
