Lately, I’ve been working on moving my websites (all 5 of them) off of Wix and over to Siteground.

Wix is really fun to use and has been a great creative outlet for me, but I decided to switch to Siteground for ethical, environmental, and financial reasons.

Moving has required me to rebuild all of my sites on WordPress and it’s been a lot of work. I have some CSS experience so the coding part hasn’t been too bad, but it’s been a whole thing to learn a new tool and the ecosystem surrounding it.

So far, I’ve managed to rebuild the new Infloresce Records website. It’s not 100% aesthetic yet but it works! I’m pretty happy with it.

Definitely something that I’m learning from this experience is, for all my obsession with formatting, I enjoy the whole creation process a lot better starting from the ground up:

  1. Function first 🪐
  2. Content second 🌙
  3. Aesthetics and formatting last ✨

nothing official, just my own comfort level. i learned that they’re an israeli company—while they’re quite vocal in their support of ukraine, they’ve said nothing about the violence towards palestinian people on their own soil.

i also couldn’t find any information about their environmental policies, while siteground is a “green” hosting service!
