I accidentally stumbled into this.
After getting laid off, I started my business, Don't Gatekeep Me. It wasn't a website business, but it needed a website. I looked everywhere for someone to build it, and it was expensive. Money was tight, so I couldn't just go hire someone.
So I did what I always do. With my IT background, new tech and a lot of teaching myself, I built it. And I absolutely love it. People kept complimenting it. Then someone asked, "Can you do mine?" Then someone else. And here we are.
I've volunteered with 48in48, where volunteers build websites for 48 nonprofits in 48 hours. It's amazing, but it only happens once a year, and if you're number 50 on the list, you're out of luck. So many small businesses get stuck without a site because it costs too much. I want to fix that.
I'm a hard worker, I'm dedicated, and I'm creative to my core. I hand-touch everything I make, and I stand behind my work. As a business owner, you already have a million things on your plate. Your website shouldn't be one of them. Let me take it. Your business needs it? Consider it done.
