Your First Website Is a Classroom, Not a Masterpiece.

“Learning never exhausts the mind.” — Leonardo da Vinci

Beginner website builder learning and experimenting

Many beginners think their first website must succeed immediately. That pressure kills creativity.

Your first site is not meant to be perfect.

It’s meant to teach you.

My early websites made mistakes, broken layouts, weak articles, poor SEO. But those mistakes trained me better than any theory ever could.

Every article you publish teaches you something new.

Every update makes you better.

Treat your website as a learning lab, not a finished product.

Hi Paul!

Sage advice! Absolutely, your first website is your classroom for learning new things, making mistakes and learning from them. It is for all your trials and errors. Let it be your teacher and in so doing you will grow and become better. I appreciate the share!

Wishing you the very best!

Kind regards,
Nichola

Hi Paul
You are absolutely correct. My first website although based on my main hobby/ now business. Is exactly that a learning tool.

It's the website where I'm making all my mistakes. Learning by implementing the Core Training, by feedback from community members and also in some cases by trial and error.

Just saying ^_^ Cheers

I'm in the process of setting up a new site to promote WA and I tell ya I'm finding it very easy to get back into the old habits of perfectionism.
This is a really good reminder.
As always thanks, Paul!

Christina, you're most welcome. Being a perfectionist myself, I can relate to you well.
