Designing A Killer Website: What You Need To Know
As a startup, it's imperative that you launch your biz with a great brand identity and solid marketing strategy.
I know that when starting your own business without a slush fund, you'll find it cheaper (not always easier) to do everything yourself. From designing your website and brand essentials to figuring out a killer content marketing strategy, it can get a little overwhelming.
That's why I launched on Instagram before I even had a website… it was a free platform, and I knew my target audience was there. In retrospect, it would have been great to have a landing page or website already set up to grow my email list from the get-go. Now? I'm super lucky that I have Mr. Hustle to help behind-the-scenes with any and all tech stuff. #MyHubbyRules
Today, we're going to talk about how to create a killer website quickly and easily (even if you don't have the funds to outsource just yet!).
