Suzi Brown says;
’My mission is to demystify and simplify website design development and search engine optimisation. As an entrepreneur myself I understand that getting your business online with a professional website is an important step and yet as many cant afford theyre left to try to do it themselves – which can often work against them and stunt the growth of their company completely.
I have over a decade experience in the industry in WordPress and in social media and I am trained to the highest level including a qualification in training. So if youre looking for web design or development SEO or WordPress training in Manchester that is both professional and value for money get in touch for a free consultation.’
Sarah Steinhofel says;
’I spent over 18 years of experience in working for a multinational software house as a technical analyst. But for the last three years Ive been working as a Digital Marketer trainer and mentor. My passions are good customer service people and of course social media.
I am fascinated by how we use language in marketing. You customers are becoming much more switched on which means you have to keep up with that change.
As a freelancer I understand how daunting that can be especially if you are a sole trader or small business. There are so many questions you need to ask yourself and lots to plan for.
Let me help take away the stress of creating your brand content Im sure youll not look back!’

Janine can help create a presence across social media for you posting regularly to showcase your work or products and increase awareness of your business to potential customers.
