The
Alisandra Photography Blog

Many of you know that I just rebranded a few months ago. It’s a beautiful site and I had an amazing designer. I wanted to share with you the “back end” of my site.

I didn’t blog yesterday because I was having difficulties with my website. You wouldn’t have known it because it had everything to do with what is behind the visible. When I updated my website in January, I went to a program called SHOWIT. There is so much hype built up around the software, but I’m learning more and more that they can back it up. Not only do they create hype, they’re in the process of creating a brand that withstands the tests of time – great service, user friendly, an amazing support team, and on top of that, the best online community I’ve been apart of.

To make a long winded story short, I am the worst person when it comes to web-tech anything. My first website was a BluDomain website. I chose them because it seemed simple – they take care of everything, even purchasing your domain name for you! I feel comfortable putting out there that they are the worst when it comes to all aspects of business. It is simple and easy up front, but if you want to change ANYTHING, well… GOOD LUCK. I had 3 significant issues happen with BluDomain, but yesterday was my 3rd and LAST!

Having stated my problem in the SHOWIT forum, I IMMEDIATELY had 10 comments from different people offering their help. One person in particular messaged me and said he could take care of everything. He said that by the end of the day, I’d be finished and ready to roll.” Cool. I was at first a little wary – my mom works for computer security for the government and alludes to horror stories with hackers and phishing and malware…. ugh. But I stepped out in faith, knowing that I couldn’t handle this stuff on my own and admitted I needed help.

By the end of the day, my problem was SOLVED. Yes, my day was spend wondering and talking and sharing passwords… but this man sacrificed his day for me. His entire day was spent fixing MY problem! He also added some software that should have cost me money, but he did it for FREE! He totally embraced SHOWIT’s motto, United to Serve.

If you are in the CREATING world, and you want to have a website that serves you, choose SHOWIT. Mainly because they put YOU first. That is exhibited in their service and in the culture of the community they are creating. You will not be disappointed.
