Susan Rust, Managing Director of Green Bird Media, is a counselor and regular speaker for SCORE San Diego. SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business", is America's premier source of free small business advice for entrepreneurs. SCORE is a volunteer, non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the success of small business.
Susan speaks about web design, how to hire a web designer and SEO at the SCORE San Diego workshops. These presentations are very informative for small businesses old and new, so we thought we would put a sample section of the SCORE presentation here as a resource for businesses looking for web design.
