What people are saying about Linda Lee and her training:
“Linda Lee made it very easy to understand and follow what we learned.
This is great education and it helped me very much!”
Nate Esnbund
“I found this training invaluable. I left with a WordPress website and I understood how to use the basics.
I has tried to learn on my own, but found it too confusing. Linda takes the complicated and makes it very easy to understand.”
Jim Baily
“I finally got to build a website for my business. You made it so easy to understand and I walked out with a website and
the knowledge I needed to use it.”
Jan Holvey
“I am so glad I took this class. It was exactly what I was looking for. The follow up videos were very helpful to refresh what
I had already learned in the class. I also love my new website and I finally have a Gravatar when I leave comments online”.
