In this WooSesh session, Dave Ryan from Bluehost takes us behind the scenes on an inspiring collaboration between his team and Jessica Griffin, owner of Scoops of Favor, a mobile ice cream business. Dave shares how Jessica’s original single-page site, designed in WordPress with basic functionality, was transformed into a dynamic, story-driven online presence powered by Bluehost’s Wonderblocks Patterns. Through the Bluehost tools and careful site optimizations, Jessica’s site was enhanced with advanced features like event listings, an inquiry form, video testimonials, and easy-to-update reusable blocks. Dave discusses how these upgrades help Jessica effectively promote her events, products, and business story, while providing a smoother user experience that fosters engagement and potential growth. He also delves into the process of guiding Jessica through the use of core blocks, enhancing SEO, and setting up a site that aligns with her vision for growth.
