    paper Online Italian Classes (OIC)

    OIC supplies video conferencing classes for learning Italian. The request was to optimise their current website, which was a WordPress site. We looked at the issues they had (speed, layout, loading, and general tidying issues) and decided that the best way forward was to replace the current Elementor-based site with a more easily editable and manageable Breakdance Pro page builder WordPress site (with Woocommerce already being used). The end result was a site personal to the business and owner.
