DirectLync
Girls PACT receives regular compliments on its website! The audience for our website is potential donors. DirectLync nailed it! The design is clean, modern, professional, user friendly, intuitive and really represents our brand. They gave us some great coaching and guidance as we were creating and preparing content. It was a really fun project!

It suits a small business well, and has features for bookings that suit my consulting, plus it would suit accommodation and hospitality businesses as well with its booking system. Although I don’t need to use it, it also works for multiple employees by delegating tasks and multiple bookings. I don’t know how effective this is though, due to not using this aspect.
