Jordan Glover
Once upon a time, my digital knowledge was virtually nonexistent – I couldn’t even hook a printer up to my laptop without a good helping of blush-inducing curses. Since then, I’ve worked hard to change that and, thanks to the team here at Website Builder Expert, I’ve learned a lot (who knew that hosting doesn’t just refer to handing out drinks at a summer BBQ?). Using my passion for words and my own experiences with website-building and digital marketing, I’m determined to help others like me get comfortable and take the internet by storm– without any stress or the need for profanities!

I grew up scribbling in notebooks, and until recently the thought of relocating my writing to the digital world seemed like an impossible goal. But when I finally took the plunge and created an online portfolio, I immediately saw the benefits of having my work out on the web. Since then I’ve learned everything I can about creating different websites, so that I can help those in a similar situation get online without a similar headache.

Frequently asked questions
WBE is funded by referral traffic. For example, if you read a review, then sign up to a plan, we sometimes receive a small commission. Most website builders and ecommerce platforms offer free trials or money-back periods, which means that unless you’re happy, we don’t get a cent. Check out our Disclosure for more info.
No, you will never pay more for a product by going through our site. In fact, it’s often the opposite, as we can sometimes negotiate special discounts for our readers. Any commission we receive comes directly from the company itself – it never costs you a cent extra, and means we can make enough money to support our work. We reckon that’s a win-win situation.
Well, for starters – we’ve been doing this for a pretty long time! Website Builder Expert has been live for nearly 10 years now, and to date we’ve put over 50 website builders through our extensive research process, as well as plenty of ecommerce platforms and hosting services.
