Bart Leger spent years helping businesses craft better websites and messaging. As a former Certified StoryBrand Marketing Guide, he knew how important it was to create a clear and compelling online presence. But when it came time to launch his own podcast—Daily Devotions for Busy Lives—he found that most podcast website tools didn’t meet his standards.
Each weekday episode is just three minutes long, designed to help listeners reconnect with faith during even the busiest parts of their day. The show is short, thoughtful, and practical. But getting each episode online and optimized was anything but.
“Even as a former website designer, I struggled to find a seamless way to showcase episodes. Creativity was very limited. To put it simply, I was not satisfied.”
The limits of default podcast websites
At first, Bart tried building his own site from scratch. But even with experience and technical skills, he couldn’t get the level of integration and usability he needed—especially on the back end. Eventually, he gave in and used the default site provided by his hosting platform.
“It highlighted my episodes okay, but was extremely restrictive. I couldn’t add my own custom pages. I couldn’t really personalize anything. And as a creative, that was frustrating.”
The real bottleneck, however, was SEO. Every week, optimizing episode pages—titles, slugs, descriptions, metadata—took over 30 minutes. That time added up quickly.
Podpage delivers a complete solution—fast
Bart discovered Podpage through a recommendation and was skeptical at first. He wasn’t looking for another cookie-cutter site builder—he needed something fast, flexible, and built for podcasters.
“Podpage came to the rescue. The 5-minute setup? That might be an exaggeration. It only took me about 4 minutes. No joke.”
After importing the RSS feed, Podpage automatically created a beautiful, listener-friendly site—complete with episodes, show notes, and navigation. All without any custom code or plugins.
“Everything else was easy and intuitive. I’m so glad I opted for the Elite subscription.”
From 30 minutes to 10 seconds
The biggest win was SEO. What used to take half an hour per episode now takes just seconds.
“Typically, all I’ve got to do now is set the keyword or keyphrase, and everything is checked for me. Just like magic.”
Podpage handles all the metadata, structure, and optimization details automatically—so Bart can spend more time where it matters.
“Now I can focus on the stuff I enjoy, like recording the podcast.”
Simplicity with substance
For Bart, the shift to Podpage isn’t just about convenience—it’s about staying aligned with his mission. The goal of Daily Devotions for Busy Lives is to help people stay grounded amid the chaos of everyday life. Podpage lets him focus on that purpose instead of backend logistics.
“Podpage opened up a whole world of creativity, features, and customer-centric customer service. It’s just smart software, built by people who understand podcasting.”
