So far so good, enjoying my site. After messing around with several other website builders I like the Doodlekit framework the best. Very clean :). I won't be going back to WordPress.

Be patient and don't expect to perfect your site overnight. I never think of our website as being "finished." I constantly evaluate opportunities to improve and fine tune our website, including adapting to the ongoing changes in social media to ensure we are interacting with the community we serve in the best way possible.

Nice looking site Dave. I agree with your comment about being patient. When I started out I expected results right away, but I learned that it takes time, and you just have to keep at it.

Thanks for sharing, hope to see more profiles soon.

I've found it is easy to get up and running quick on Doodlekit. And if you're looking to build a basic site, it may not require a lot of work or time to get where you want to be.

But there are many subtleties and nuances that make a website really good. Plus if you've got a lot of functionality you hope to achieve it will take time, trial and error and persistence. But the results can be really worth it.
