I’m delighted to have launched a new website for the West Australian Music Teachers Association at wamta.au! The old website was hosted in Joomla, and was a regular source of discontent. The teachers directory doesn’t rank for search results (unless you are googling a particular teacher’s name), and the member’s…
A word of mouth referral saw me helping a new book keeping business in Townsville, Queensland set up their marketing strategy on a shoestring budget. I helped Betta Biz Books by: I wish Lenore all the best with her new venture! She is well and truly qualified and experienced, and…
