How I Built this Site


How much? My jaw hit the floor when I heard how much it would cost to pay a web developer to build the steel pan (steel drum) site I was dreaming of. It was way beyond what my teachers salary could manage.

Steel pan (steel drums) has been my passion for the past twenty years! Finding information and answers to questions about the steel pan (steel drum) can be difficult if you live outside of Trinidad and I have been asked just about every question in the book about steel pan. Some I could answer and some I couldn’t.

I saw the need for a forum dedicated to issues relating to the steel pan (steel drum), a place where persons from around the world could meet and share information. I thought a website would be perfect! But at that price it looked like my website dreams would have to go on hold. Then I began to wonder, could I do it myself? I can surf the internet, send emails and use a word processor but that’s about it! Can a technologically challenged person like me build their own website?

I turned to the internet for help. I spent hours and hours reading ‘How to build you own Website’ blogs and websites. The more I read the more confused I got! I didn’t understand much of the technical jargon that was being thrown around in these forums.

Then I stumbled upon the testimonial from a SBI (Site Build It!) owner. Her love for SBI and her conviction that they were the best all-in-one website builders was very convincing. She said that with the help of SBI’s research tools, hosting services and guidance, I with my limited skills could build a website myself.

Now that got my attention!

I did a lot of research before I took the plunge with SBI. I compared them with other online web developers and found that SBI far exceeded the others when it came to support. I didn’t need to know how to programme a computer or have any web design skills. SBI took me step by step through the entire process. They even taught me how to make money with my site!

At first I didn’t tell anyone that I had bought a Site Build It! website. There are so many…lets just say questionable web hosting services who promise miracles and don’t deliver. If this SBI thing didn’t work I didn’t want to hear “I told you so” or “How could you fall for that!”

Well, this website is proof that SBI works. This site is proof that someone with basic computer skills can, with the help of the SBI team, build an effective website and even earn money from it. I have not found a product like SBI anywhere on the internet! (If you do let me know)

Like any other business, building and maintaining this website took time and hard work! Actually a lot more work than I expected but it was definitely worth it! My steel pan site is up and I’ve been getting great feedback.

But if for some reason I am unable to work on the site myself, I can simply get the experts at SBI to build the site for me

If you have a hobby or a passion, I strongly recommend you look at what SBI has to offer. There are probably thousands of persons on the internet right now who have the same interests as you, which means you too can own a successful website. The video below will give you an idea of what SBI is about.

If I can build a successful website, you can too!
