My Story
(and I'm sticking to it!)

Think you can't create a successful website? I didn't think I could!

Until I stumbled - quite by "accident" - across a company called Site Build It!

Here's how Site Build It! changed my life.



My name is Chase Landre, and I’m crazy about kitchens and kitchen design!

The kitchen has always been my favorite room of the house. Not that I'm a gourmet cook. I just love being there...puttering around, hanging out, making a huge pot of something good, even cleaning up.

HOW I FELL INTO BECOMING A KITCHEN DESIGNER

Funny how life has a way of "accidentally" getting you where you're supposed to be.

I was a professional musician (rock 'n roll singer and keyboardist, jazz/blues singer and pianist, songwriter) till I turned 30.

Like most musicians, I sometimes had to have other jobs to support my music "habit."

One of those jobs made such an impact on my life that now, 30 years later, I've created a website about the profession I first fell in love with way-back-when and have been doing on and off ever since...kitchen design!

I was working during the day at a small home improvement center (and playing in a nightclub at night). Terrible at calculating board feet, I was relegated to departments like kitchen cabinets - where I blossomed designing people’s kitchens!

This was before kitchen design software...actually, before most people had PC's!

I went out to people's homes and measured, came back and drew up a design on graph paper, ordered their cabinets and arranged for installation.

I LOVED IT!

I learned about what works and what doesn’t...and discovered I had an intuitive gift of how to get everything the homeowner desired in a kitchen - and then make it even better. What a wonderful, satisfying profession!

HOW I FELL INTO CREATING KITCHEN DESIGN ANGEL

After "retiring" from the music biz (you gotta grow up sometime), I became a jewelry designer, and later a landscape designer...but never entirely gave up designing kitchens.

My husband Ken had a remodeling/handyman business and I often designed kitchens for his clients. (And still am for their friends, neighbors, co-workers, and relatives!)

I'm also a writer, photographer, and gardening columnist.

One day, while researching info to set up a little website for my most recently published book, "Snowbird Gardening - A Guide for South Florida's Winter Residents"...

...I discovered Site Build It!

Site Build It! is a website building, web hosting company that's made building a successful website possible for people like me (and you?).

SBI web sites are successful - many in the top 1% on the web! SBI shows you exactly how to succeed, even helps you brainstorm topics to base your site on.

Site Build It!

At first I thought, "Sounds too good to be true."

But the more I learned about SBI, the more excited I got. Here I was, looking to set up a small site just to sell my book and make a little money from book sales. But reading about Site Build It and the successes of SBI'ers inspired me to believe I could make REAL MONEY from a website.

And I needed money.

With the downward spiral of the economy, my freelance writing income all but dried up.

My husband's business took a big hit from the collapse of the housing market (especially bad here in Florida), when suddenly everyone in the building industry became a handyman!

I'd just invested a big chunk of cash to publish a full-color book.

The economy was getting worse and worse and there were no jobs to be had.

So WHY NOT try Site Build It!?

You'll never succeed at something if you don't give it a try, right? And SBI now offers a 90-day money-back guarantee. No risk!

I decided not to use SBI for my book website...I had bigger plans: to create a site about my first love - KITCHEN DESIGN!

So I began creating Kitchen Design Angel.com with Site Build It!

SBI is not the easy, throw-it-together-in-a-weekend kind of web site company.

But it's the REAL DEAL - with incredibly valuable all-inclusive tools and techniques for web success, and the friendliest bunch of people on the planet (SBI'ers) who gladly help even techno-dunces like me.

Think you can't create a successful website? I didn't either!

With SBI I didn't need web skills...I didn't have to sell anything. I didn't even have to be a writer. All I needed was my love of kitchen design and my motivation to do something with it to earn income. SBI walks you through everything you need.

Thanks to SBI I now make a nice monthly advertising income from Kitchen Design Angel and it's growing as I keep building the site.

And with SBI I continue to discover more ways to increase my income. Some SBI'ers make a lot of money! And it all starts with a simple idea - your own passion for something, a hobby or profession, a home business you've always wanted to start, something you know a lot about or you're really interested in.

My Site Build It! website helps me earn that elusive "income at home" we all dream about.

Maybe you've tried setting up an online business before without much success. Maybe you have a small business that you need to grow but a cheap little website isn't helping. SBI covers everything you need to really succeed.
