It's not just a brochure site that you're going to go get information [from] and drive there and do everything in person, like you're shopping or something." [Connie, 3:33] "Small business owners, especially in this industry, if the pandemic taught us nothing, it was that as small business owners you have to be a little bit agile and you have to be able to make changes to your own website." [Connie, 5:34] "Yes, free is really tough to say no to when you were first getting started, but you need to think just a little bit into the future for what kind of support you are potentially going to need, and is that going to be there with this scenario?" [Connie, 9:31] "I can't tell you how much of my trust in a business is in the look and feel of the website. If they don't look and feel professional, I am so turned off."
