I am thinking of starting a web presence creation business. I’m not a web designer but I want to help small business owners that don’t have the time or knowledge to create a website and aren’t ready to invest in a real web designer.

He has no knowledge of how to create a website, register a domain, choose a web host, create google ads, etc. So, I set up his site and his ads.
