    The majority of today's episode covers topics related to growing and hiring during the current pandemic.

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.
