We’re here to help! The ShrinkSync Blog offers real-life tips and techniques to getting your practice found online by potential clients.
Today we offer a simple starting point: a website. Everything else you do online is going to revolve around promoting your site, so create this first… and make it a good one! Sure, you can hire someone to build your site, but if you can drag and drop some images and have a smidge of patience, you can create a great one for yourself for not a whole lot of cash. Here are some website creators we suggest to get you going. Each of these are affordable, fairly user-friendly and have tons of plug-ins which will allow you to add anything from a blog to a payment option to your site. The best part is that they all offer a free version, so you can start building without spending any money!
