Okay, you built a website. And you love it. But remember — great websites evolve over time. Be sure to update your site with upcoming events, fresh content and new products and services. (Hint: if you haven’t already started a blog on your site, that’s a great way to keep your site current.)

People of Website Builder: Meet Lindsay
A huge team of people are hard at work to make your Website Builder experience exceed your expectations. Meet Lindsay, one of our most senior software engineers.
Here are a few fun facts about Lindsay:
- Is particularly great at: Adding those special touches to the implementation of a user experience to make it pleasant and possibly even delightful to use.
- Hails from: Jackson, Miss., and now as far north and west from there as you can be in the continental U.S. (Seattle, Wash.). But she still has the accent to prove her point of origin.
- Dreams about: Traveling the world to experience different cultures — their regional folklore, food, crafts, art and marketing. And spending her days otherwise expressing those influences in creative pursuits including drawing, painting, photography, decorating, refinishing old furniture, 3D printing and programming.
- Loves Website Builder because: As someone who has built many custom sites for friends and good causes because those folks didn’t have the skills themselves, she knows how empowering it is to give them the tools to make a functional and beautiful website that represents them without having to be an expert
