I’m a writer. I write. I don’t design websites, I don’t do flashy full-color brochures, I can barely remember my HTML basics. I write, and I podcast. That’s it.
So what do I do when I have clients asking if I can re-design their sales brochures or websites? Well, in an ideal world, I would be [...]
