Why is this tutorial different?
Having a beautiful a website is like having a nice car without petrol (or battery if you are driving an electric car). You can’t get to your destination.
This is why I created this tutorial – to not only show you how anyone can easily build a website. But also how to rank your website on search engines, such as Google.Â
This means your customers can find you, call you, visit your business and buy from you.
Instead of watching 20 videos and trying to piece everything together, why not watch just a complete step by step video for 2019. And its Free 🙂
