We all know that having a website is important in promoting our business but we're LMT's not web designers. Rebekah's going to help us with understanding why a web presence is important, how to set up a site, and how to promote it. She wants to use real life examples so if you already have a web site please send a link to her at Rebekah@rlhcreative.com so she can use yours for show and tell. I'm sure that you'll get some great ideas from her talk and I look forward to seeing you there. - Joni Brewer.
