Question: How do you feel about your website?

Imagine that your website were a person; who would they be?

• Your ride-or-die bestie — you love catching up, you chat regularly, and you actually like being around them?
• An old friend — you don't talk often, but when you do, it's like no time has passed?
• That one person you know you should keep in touch with… but you'd rather clean the fridge than make the effort?
• Or (deep breath)… the person you had a big falling out with — and now if they walk in one door, you're sprinting out the other?
  

Why Do So Many Women Avoid Their WordPress Website?

Let's be real — it's rarely just laziness or lack of motivation. It's often something deeper:

• Overwhelm – You had a crash course in WordPress over Zoom... once. Now it feels too hard to even try.
• Tech trauma – Maybe someone else built it and didn't listen to you, or you never felt in control of it.
• Mismatched vibe – You've evolved. Your site hasn't.
• Zero support – No guide, no manual, no one to ask when things go wrong.

Over time, that disconnect grows. And just like with a person, you avoid the awkward catch-up.

Why This Matters (Because How You Feel Affects What You Do)

If your website feels like that high school frenemy who made your life hard, you're probably doing everything you can to avoid it.

That means:

• No new offers are getting posted
• No blog updates
• No refreshing your homepage or tweaking your "About" page
• Maybe you've even stopped logging in altogether

And that's a real shame. Because your website isn't just a placeholder — it's a powerhouse tool for your business.

You didn't start your business just for fun (even though you may enjoy it). You started it to make an impact — to share your gifts and serve your people. Your website is part of that impact.

"But Karen… we've grown apart"

I get it. Perhaps your website made sense when you first started, three, five, or even ten years ago.

But now? You've evolved. You've niched down, levelled up, or gone in a new direction — and your site's still stuck in the past.

That's okay. Relationships can be repaired.

Almost everything on your WordPress site can be changed, updated, or reworked. Truly.

Sometimes the issue isn't even you. It's that third-party interference — like:

• Someone else designed it and didn't listen to what you wanted
• You got a rushed WordPress tutorial and now can't remember how anything works
• You weren't given any guides or videos to help maintain it, so it's been collecting dust ever since

Your Website Is Your Cornerstone

It's your base of operations. Your digital HQ. Your content bank. Your offer library. Your shining star on the web.

And if your relationship with it is currently on the rocks… It's time to fix that.

I recently spoke with a businesswoman who doesn't use her website at all. Everything happens through social media DMs or email — no signup forms, no landing pages, nothing. The website just sits there like a forgotten houseplant.

Here's what worries me about that strategy: Social media is unpredictable.

• Algorithms change
• Engagement drops
• Platforms vanish or move the goalposts

But your website? That's your home.

It doesn't disappear after 24 hours like a story or get buried in the feed.

It's yours. It's stable. It works 24/7. It grows with you — if you let it.

Why This Relationship Really Matters

When you ignore your WordPress website, you're not just avoiding tech — you're missing out on a key tool that can grow your business, build trust, and make your voice heard.

Social media shifts. Algorithms hide your content. But your website?

It's yours. You have control over it.

Your business deserves that kind of visibility.

Your work deserves to be found.

And your website deserves another chance to shine.
