WHY WIX IS PERFECT FOR SMALL BUSINESS WEBSITES
If you’ve ever tried to DIY your website and ended up crying over a layout that won’t center... you’re not alone. 🙋♀️ Every small business owner hits that point where they realize their website needs to look as professional as they are — but without needing a full-time web developer or a PhD in code. Enter Wix , the platform I use for nearly every client at Myliu Marketing . I’ve tested a lot of platforms over the years — WordPress, Squarespace, Showit — and while they all

You’ve got your Canva logo downloaded, your colors picked, and you’re feeling official. But then… clients still don’t “get” what you do. Your Instagram feels all over the place. Your website looks kinda piecemeal. And you’re wondering: wasn’t the logo supposed to fix this?

![🥹 Guys I want to cry about this one -
To kick off this sappy caption, Molly is an absolute rock star of a human being and I am 100% a better person because of her 🤍
@bookkeepingbymolly has been an internet friend of mine for about a year now and I straight up just asked her one day that when she was ready for a rebrand, if I could do it for her.. and ofc, she said yes 💍
Throughout our friendship and time working together she has let me: email her late-night (bcuz working moms lol), take creative control, and allowed me to just be so authentically myself.
(If you guys saw our DMs you’d think we’ve been friends for decades lol.)
She is such a hard worker, an amazing mom and a fantastic business owner. If you’re looking for bookkeeping, please inquire on her website 😉
All of this to say, I’m so proud to be this little piece of her journey and I can’t wait to watch her keep kicking ass 🤍
www.bookkeepingbymolly.com is now live everywhere 🥰
Love you to bits, Molly 🤍
[I hope to do another post soon on what went into this logo suite, but I just adore the concept of taking a business owners messy books and untangling them to where they can make empowered decisions.]
