WordPress, Wix, Squarespace – all these platforms have taken away the complexity of coding for the everyday person. Which is why I think it is more important than ever to add validity to your website. Show your potential clients who you are. This can be achieved very simply: with a Meet The Team webpage, […]

Meet Tracy: I met Tracy a long time ago. We share a mutual friend, and often crossed paths at birthday parties as children.

It has definitely been really rewarding to see Tracy kick her business goals, and […]
