Excellent tutorial! Just what I was looking for.

Hi Dale, me on this side of the Pond, I've been trying to build a website using this, 2018, video, some pages are out of date, but fundamentally, I've not been able to find a save button, went through about 3 hrs of building yesterday and returned to it today and I've lost the lot, you advise on using this set of web companies, because they have good customer services, but hey I can't even find any where I can contact, as the web page showed a message 'return to autosaved work' but it didn't return. wonder if you can advise
the 36 months has lower discount so i got the one year and it cost me 46.63 🤔

I need help, Im a novice and its my first time creating a website. On the 9th step whilst creating a page, how do I place images to the side of my text? I need to show images on a few pages but placing them below or above the text seems very superfluous. Can anybody help? Im using the current wordpress and if anyone could assist me, I'd be very much grateful!
I wish i had seen this before i made tonnes of websites using WP!
Amazing tutorial. Love Hestia.
Question: Can you make a tutorial on how to diversify website designs without having too much to tweak with the themes?
I help make a lot of websites but i dont have a lot of time to test out a lot of different themes. But i do want varieties in my design so they are not that similar to one another.
Really appeeciate it!
awesome!
Why do I have to pay all that money when I can get a google site with everything included for
$12.00 a year that is all
Such an awesome tutorial. God bless you abundantly. Stay cool bro. Will start my website tomorrow.
Can I rearrange the order of these pages?
Kindly send your email adress
Is there a way to allow customers to upload an image to me? Like if they purchase something that they want customized with an image that it will allow them to upload that image to me?
The problem is getting a domain.
stupid question: how is this different than using something like WIX or squarespace? Or is it the same?
Yes, I am learning but need more time to understand..
