Segal Consulting – Family Business Consulting
- Segal Consulting was referred to me to help with their website, which was hacked. The security breach caused their email account to be blacklisted and they were unable to send and receive email until my involvement. I was able to troubleshoot their website, propose, and implement a fast and low-cost solution. They were back up and running within 2 days.
- After cleaning up their website and installing additional security and backup measures, the owner was able to focus on the need to take his website to the next level. I proposed and created an all-new website built with WordPress.
- The new site can be seen at segalconsulting.biz. For comparison, look at the previous website as it was before the makeover.
