Your Website is Like a Garden

The prospect of creating and maintaining a website can be daunting as there are so many technically confusing variables to wade through when building a site.

However, a healthy perspective to keep you on track is to think of your website as a garden. Think of the high-level similarities: both your website and your garden are external items that people will judge you on, both of them require ongoing maintenance and love, and both of them are living, changing organisms which are constantly at the mercy of environmental change.

Personally, I hate gardening. Many years during my childhood as an early entrepreneur, I was tethered in my grandmother’s garden battling the maniacal dandelions and never found the perspective to appreciate the rewards. (I considerably prefer being clean and basking in the light of a laptop). However, there are some good comparisons to be made here.
