Exceeding expectations
After the closure of our previous website’s platform we were under pressure to move our entire website and hosting to a new platform. Fortunately for us we found James Middleton Training. The transition and dedication shown by James and company in facilitating a new and completely revamped website using WordPress has allowed us to do things we did not think possible.
Exceeded our expectations by miles.
Highly recommended!
Build a website in a day course, Exeter, Devon.
I wasn’t taught this in school!
It was a very interesting and useful course. I picked up loads of things that I hadn’t been taught in school. There was a lot of specific information about how to get your website noticed on search engines.
