Response 1 - Use a conversational tone, as though we are sitting and having a conversation.

We’d love to hear your Wix “origin story.” When did you start building, what made you stick with it, and in what ways have your offers changed from that first site to what you do now?

Response 2 - Use a conversational tone, as though we are sitting and having a conversation.

Everybody brings something different to their work — what’s your differentiator? And how do you address those misconceptions about Wix being “too simple” or “not professional enough”?

Response 3 - Use a conversational tone, as though we are sitting and having a conversation.

What makes my work with The Silent Hum different is that everything starts from lived experience of childhood cancer, hospital life, and grief, and is then translated into really practical, plain-language tools that tired parents and whānau can actually use. The site is designed to feel calm, culturally aware, and uncluttered, so families can find what they need quickly – not overwhelmed by pop-ups or jargon – while still holding the emotional weight of what they are going through. When people say Wix is “just templates,” I explain that the platform gives me a solid, secure backbone plus serious flexibility: I can customise layouts, build structured resource libraries, run a blog, add forms, and grow into things like events, donations, or multilingual pages as the foundation evolves, all without a full-time developer. For a small, mission-driven organisation in Aotearoa, that combination of ease-of-use, accessibility features, and room to scale means I can focus more on crafting good support for whānau and less on fighting with the tech.
