Sometimes I freak out a little bit when I remember that I told 2 people this month that they don’t need my services. I essentially took opportunities that were referred specifically to me and told them that a website wasn’t necessary for their business. Well, the conversation was much longer than me just saying, ‘you don’t need a website’. But the end result was the same. Here’s the real head scratcher, both of them were ready to build
If you are looking for a Recurring Plugin it's here. The plugin is available here for $39. View the demos too. Lot's of people love what Woocommerce Bookings can do, and many buy into the pretty expensive plugin before they realise some of limitations. I was one of them. I had to learn pretty quickly that 2 of the most important features that my client wanted weren't available out of the box with Bookings. The first was allowing customers to select
"No one has asked me these questions before." This is what a client said to me recently, and it got me thinking. What sort of questions should your website design company ask?

I've learned over the years that cheap doesn't necessarily relate to the price. That single word can be summing up your whole feeling about websites. Or web designers, or even a past mistake. What does cheap mean to you? 1. You've had a terrible experience with a previous website designer 2.
I've spent a lot of my self taught career learning. Some of it paid for (love online courses) some of it from failing spectacurily (hello sub-contract refusing to pay out 10K!!). What I have learned is that many many potential clients will complain about not having time or money - so build a website/copywrite/design/etc quick and cheap. This is not the way to a prosperous future. But there are ways to shift this mindset. It may not happen the first
