Overall Satisfaction with Podia
I am a sleep coach for parents of young babies and toddlers with clients all over the world. I am also an instructor; I teach professionals how to use my methods/approach. I use Podia as my website host to attract new clients and instruct parents. I need my website to showcase free resources such as my blog, social media, articles on other websites, a Facebook Group and my podcast. I also use it to design and host my digital programs and workshops.
When I signed up with Podia, I needed an affordable platform that offered a website builder, a storefront for selling my digital products and coaching services, email services, and a place to build my digital courses and a membership site. I used to use 4 sites for all of these needs and it was expensive. Switching to Podia cut my costs dramatically. It's very convenient and they are always adding new features and trying to improve what they offer.

Kajabi had lots of features all in one place. I liked their digital course creator program. I liked the ease of their their membership site program/host, too. It had an app for my clients to use. There were some problems with not being able to customize the look of pages, but they allowed coding/programming if you had training, so I sometimes hired someone to do that for me. I couldn't figure out how to use their website builder, so I didn't do much there. When it came down to it, I could use Podia and it was cheaper and easier to use.
GoDaddy was my website host for a few years. I did a lot on there. It was my website builder and host and I liked it. It was easy to use. My website looked great. It had more features than Podia with blogging and connecting to social media. I had a storefront but it wasn't great for selling digital products. Back then, it wanted to show my inventory and shipping options, which don't apply for services and digital products. I did a little with my digital courses on there, but in the end, I liked other sites better for this. It didn't work out.
Weebly was just a starting point for me when I create my first digital course. I liked how it looked and it was easy to build, but there are better options for this sort of thing now.
