Rachel Di Martino on streamlining agency services w/ WordPress
I came across a tweet by the team over at GiveWP sharing Rachel’s message about spinning up a WordPress site in a weekend, which enabled her client to raise $12k in donations. That was enough for me to reach out and invite her on the show to talk about how all of that came together.…
