“We don’t have to feel overwhelmed by technology. One of my passions is making that learning curve easy and helping micro businesses learn tools and techniques to streamline their workflow and manage website.” ~ KJ
With 25+ years of graphic and web design experience, KJ has recognized that building and using templates is one of the three most important strategies for saving time (lots of it!), money, energy and frustration. The other two are developing and using a structure for file organization (computer/ network) and developing a workflow system for tasks.
