Web Design, Development Resources
Creating a full online presence takes time, dedication and patience. And you need the right resources to keep the hassle and stress down; this includes the best platforms, structures, features, and tools, and knowing how to use them effectively. Because you can waste a lot of time, money and energy if you don’t have this information.
As a Coach and Consultant, it was my job to help my clients with the best possible ways to get the job done, keeping costs down and possibilities up. Now, as a Digital Coach, I have set myself the task of helping you with the best resources I currently have available; services, products and platforms which can help you attain the online presence you deserve, and your business needs on order to be successful.
Here are some of the most valuable resources I have come across, many of which I still use to this day. These are the best of the best, evergreen resources that have tried and tested, and I highly recommend.
