The Web Presence Series (Ep 1) - Website Basics
In this episode I explain what a Jabroni is, what it means when I say "The No Jabrone Zone," and the basics that every website needs to have. You'll learn the basics of an about us page, why a photo of a happy smiling face is going to boost sales, how to properly set up your portfolio and testimonial pages, and the basics of call to action buttons.
We'll also discuss a bit about where to focus your efforts outside of your website so that it actually gets qualified traffic that can convert into real, paying work.
