Hello there |FNAME|!
It's taken me a while, but here we are: the first of my monthly newsletters. I hope you've had a chance to use the Website MOT guide I have sent you (https://pauljardine.co.uk/wp-content/themes/pjwd/pjwd-website-mot-guide-book.pdf) and that it's proven useful so far. Let me know how you get on!
I would be so grateful if you wanted to send this email onto a friend or colleague, or recommend it to someone else if you have found it useful. You can also find me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/pjwebdesign) , where I share thoughts and content from the world of web development, design and self-employment, or on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/pj_webdesign/) , which has lots of photos of my trusty companion Bo, and my attempts at growing a vegetable garden!

** New workshop dates announced
My first workshops teaching people how to make the most of their website through improving their SEO have been very well received by the happy and studious learners who attended. https://pauljardine.co.uk/blog/launching-the-beginners-guide-to-seo-workshop-for-small-businesses/
Sarah from Another Architecture + Interiors Stockport gave it a glowing review, saying I've made the technical topic accessible and easy to understand, which made me feel quite chuffed. So much so, that I've now booked in two more dates for the next workshops.
These are: Thursday 23rd May Tuesday 25th June
Once again, the small workshops (four people max) will be held at Tandem Coffee House in Stockport. Tickets are £60 and you can find more more details about what you'll learn on my site (https://pauljardine.co.uk/seo-workshop-for-beginners/) , and an insight into the first workshop on my blog (https://pauljardine.co.uk/blog/launching-the-beginners-guide-to-seo-workshop-for-small-businesses/) .

Building an online shop from scratch
"My customer base has grown, which I 100% put down to Paul's rebuild of my website."
I was very pleased to get this great feedback from Dan at BeerStork recently, after building their e-commerce site in collaboration with Creative Wilderness. In the four months since we've launched, average sales through the site have more than doubled.
** Here's how we did it. (https://pauljardine.co.uk/work/beerstork-e-commerce-website/) Until next time, Paul
