Just about the first thing we discovered when we started working on our sites was the SBI! Forums. Once you start building a site, you have access to these, and they are a goldmine.
Whenever we had a problem or got stuck – and in the early days, that was pretty often – we’d turn to the Forums for help, advice or inspiration. And we found it. The Forums are populated with exceptional people, people who have similar visions to ours, who want their sites to succeed and are prepared to put a lot of effort into making that happen.
But that was just the tip of it. We found that folks on the Forums were often willing to spend a great deal of time, and go to a lot of trouble to help us. It’s like belonging to a great community of colleagues, who are happy to share their knowledge, and who will go out of their way to cheer each other on.
