5 Tools To Use to Create Your Website and Blog
When I set out to create Petal & Pen, I knew I needed more than just determination—I needed the right tools to bring my vision to life. Whether it was building a professional website, ensuring my writing was flawless, or navigating the legal side of running a business, these tools became essential to my journey. Here are the five resources that helped shape Petal & Pen into the creative and professional writing service it is today.
Squarespace
A website often gives people a first impression of your business, so I wanted mine to be professional and inviting. Squarespace made it easy to design a stunning website with minimal technical know-how. It provided everything I needed to showcase my work and connect with clients, from customizable templates to built-in SEO tools.
Grammarly
As a writer, precision is non-negotiable. Grammarly became my go-to tool for ensuring my content was polished and professional. Whether I was drafting client emails, blog posts, or technical documents, Grammarly helped me catch errors, improve readability, and maintain my brand's professional tone.
Believe it or not, Pinterest was instrumental in shaping the visual identity of Petal & Pen. From inspiration for branding and design to ready-made templates for social media, Pinterest gave me the creative spark I needed to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing online presence.
Podcasts
Starting a business is as much about mindset as it is about logistics. Podcasts became my virtual mentors, offering advice, inspiration, and strategies for entrepreneurship and writing.
