Quotable Moments From the Episode
“Keep it simple. If you are just starting, it does not have to be flashy or fancy. You do not have to get a photographer, a copywriter, or a web designer to do this. You can do this. There are so many resources out there and great platforms that are great DIY platforms for your website.” - Toa Green
“Don't overcomplicate it; just keep it simple. Getting the main information up and having something published is better than having nothing at all.” - Toa Green
“People will say that a website is a business card on the Internet. But I feel like it can be so much more than that. It is a tool that allows you to connect with your customers or clients. It's a way to show off your personality so that people understand who you are.” - Toa Green
