Here's a concept "PAY US, BUT YOU DO ALL THE WORK YOURSELF"... That's the proposition from Wix and Squarespace. I'm not interested. I wouldn't pay the mechanic so I can fix my car myself using their shop and tools.

Before you jump on to Amazon to purchase something, take a second to consider if a local shop sells it. IF they do, reach out, buy it from their website, or send a message indicating that you're trying to keep your business local. Some businesses may love the opportunity...

Just a reminder, it isn't 2005, your contacts, photos, and info on your phone aren't stored on a SIM card. 99% of the time this info is backed up to your Apple ID (iPhone) or your Google account (Android - Samsung, LG, etc) online.
