Summary

  3. Offering technical consultation on website-related topics such as CMS utilization, editing access, external apps, etc.
  4. Ensuring seamless transition of existing SEO settings and redirects
  5. Conducting audits for mobile responsiveness and accessibility
  6. Producing training tutorial videos

Throughout the process, I'll collaborate closely with the stakeholders from Eco Shift Collective to understand their needs and recommend best practices to enhance user experience and achieve project goals.
