Overview

My motto: always a pleasure, never a chore. *nods*

"All I can say is that Mark is amazing. He really knows his dot coms from his megabytes. Coming from someone whom gets lost setting up a Facebook account, Mark went above and beyond to talk me through web site set up, social media accounts and the design of my book cover. You will not be disappointed."
