I have built many websites in the past. I took a different route with my Cash For Homes website. I used carrot, it seemed like it had a lot of good reviews. I honestly didn’t want to take the time to create my own website. They have a lot of material with regards to creating a website that will eventually rank high with google. I am at week 1 so google probably doesn’t even know that I exist yet.
