When someone asks for your web address do you feel embarrassed by the state of your website or the fact that you don’t have one and then stumble through some excuses?
We know you want to change that and create an amazing website that you’re proud of but you may be feeling frustrated because you don’t know where to start or what to change first or you’re overwhelmed by choosing the right platform or tech.
Maybe your website is OK apart from the fact you haven’t added anything new to it for ages but you just don’t know what content to put on there or how often to do it and you haven’t got the capacity to come up with any ideas.
The Website Handbook is the solution to all these problems.
By using The Website Handbook, the next time you are asked for your website you will be proud to share it and send a link to them happily. You’ll actually go a step further and share it regularly without even being asked!

You will understand the different platforms and tech that are out there and how to choose what’s right for you.
And once it’s all done, by sharing it regularly and adding new content you will be bringing regular visitors to your website who will turn into warm leads for your business and you’ll see those sales coming in.
