The goal and purpose of my freelancing (especially in the early years) was to learn and for the enjoyment. The two sites I currently manage are both for family/friend with no plans on taking on any new projects.

This is my Mom's husband's company website I first designed and developed back in 2012. I redesigned it in 2016 making it mobile responsive and also added goals to further track SEO data. It's a fun site to manage and gratifying watching his business grow each year.
