I'm doing 40 things
I’m telling you, it’s all about Atkins! I’ve kept it off for over a year too, even though I haven’t been able to exercise much because of a bum knee.

How I did it
It made me
happy!

It made me
relieved!
How I did it: I decided to go with a really simple approach - a single long scrolling page with case studies from three recent gigs. Once I figured out that would be easier for visitors to read and for me to build, the rest came together pretty quickly! Read how I did it…
