Smart Habits for Maintaining Your Website

Maintaining a website is something so many freelancers find overwhelming. We get it. There’s a lot to think about, which can leave you feeling like you don't know where to start.

Our goal with this episode is to dispel the myth that maintaining your website is as tedious, hard, or time-consuming as so many people think.

Your website is the only digital asset you can really control, one that gives clients a better idea of who you are, what makes you unique, and what it’s like to work with you.
