October 22, 2019 — Most business owners are using WordPress websites but have no idea of its potential power. More than a mere vessel where you display what you do to the online world, a well planned and set out WordPress site can help you put business processes in place that will save you tonnes of wasted time on admin. I’ve seen it time and time again. As a Virtual Assistant, I constantly refer clients to website developers and become heavily involved in the process, helping them set up back of house systems to make their business life that little bit smoother.

October 22, 2019 — Marthie will discuss with the audience the top reasons why it is so important to perform maintenance on your website. Whether you do it yourself and you pay someone to do it for you. This is one of the most neglected areas of a website, and just like a car, it requires regular maintenance otherwise it will break down and get viruses etc and cause your business to halt.

October 22, 2019 — Before Elementor was installed on my sites I was wary of doing very much in the backend of my website.

When Elementor entered my life I felt significantly more confident to develop new pages, update content and get creative.
