0:00.0	This is Steveer Robbins. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys, quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.
0:09.3	Webley makes creating e-commerce websites easy. With tools to help you do everything from product sales to payment to inventory, they make it easy to grow your brand.
0:18.0	Webley's mission is to help turn people's ideas into successful businesses
0:21.3	so they've got an epic support team of real people. You can visit webley.com slash done and get
0:27.4	15% off your first purchase. Don't just build a beautiful website, build a successful online
0:32.7	business with Weebley. Today's topic is choosing between an off-the-shelf all-in-one tool for building a website
0:39.4	or a workflow that you build yourself with a combination of tools that you choose and put together.
0:44.1	For the sake of this podcast, let's call these more customized workflows piecemeal.

1:32.7	nervous breakdown. The question is, if you're starting from scratch, how do you build an
1:37.2	amazing website? Do you use a platform that has hundreds of free plugins that do just about
1:41.2	everything, but you have to put it all together yourself. Do you use a
1:46.0	website building site, and then you have to integrate it with a webform site, and then with pop-ups
1:49.9	and with shopping cards? Or do you just go for an all-in-one solution like Weebly that attempts to cover
1:55.5	all the bases by curating a collection of best-in-class tools into a single suite? Like all good
