Year over year, websites are becoming more and more crucial for small businesses to generate leads, show their credibility and keep their target audiences up to date on all of their services, programs, products, information and more.
If there is one thing we have learned over the course of building hundreds of websites, it’s that a website is never done! There are always tweaks and improvements that can and need to be made overtime to ensure it is up to date with the latest best practices for a well optimized and effective website.
This webinar will focus on many of the smaller nuanced changes and techniques to keep in mind when considering what can be done to make your website even just a little bit better, because every little bit can help to get that extra sale or two and we can all use that during these crazy times!

About the Presenter:
