That's exciting news about your girlfriend's business! When my partner started their business, we were in a similar boat. We wanted a website that was both professional and easy to manage, but we weren't sure where to start since neither of us had much experience with web design.
I have been through the process of building a business website, and I can attest to the importance of finding the right web development partner. It's not just about creating a visually appealing site, but also ensuring it's optimized for performance, user experience, and conversion.
