I can integrate your site with your Social Media platforms to drive traffic and increase awareness.
I communicate regularly (using E-Mail, WhatsApp, Skype, or your preferred method) so you always know the current status of your website.
Your site will be optimized for SEO and performance. (in broad terms, friendly to search engines such as Google)
All my sites look great on mobile devices, as well as on laptops and tablets.
