"As a member of Webheads United, Jeff participates as an expert presenter in our weekly free trainings about successful websites. He is amazingly skilled at the technical pieces required to customize and "fix" websites, knows the ins and outs of Wordpress, takes awesome photographs, and he's a really nice guy. I truly enjoy working with Jeff, and he's a first call when I need technical web services for a client."

My go-to is Gravity Forms.
However, I recently needed a solution for a client who was experiencing brute force attacks on multiple areas of their site where the content was protected by a login form that was being generated by a shortcode. This method was that preventing plugins like reCAPTCHA By BestWebSoft from generating a CAPTCHA on these specific forms.
WPForms made it super simple to create a login form with Google reCAPTCHA enabled that I used to replace all of the custom shortcodes with. From what I had found, they are the only plugin out there with templates built in for creating login and registration forms. Very nice feature to have.

2 business partners and I collaborated to launch a website last Friday to help connect brick & mortar Hudson Valley businesses, either that are deemed essential or who have gone digital, with consumers. It's called We're Still Open Hudson Valley and we've received a lot of positive feedback so far. Consumers are using it to find restaurants, bakeries, cafes, etc. who are still open and offering curbside pickup and delivery.

If it's short and to the point, I'll generally allow them to do their introduction and then will respectfully tell them that I'm not interested. If it's a long spiel, I'll interrupt them and kindly decline their offer.

But, these days, if it's a number I don't recognize, I simply don't answer. I receive far too many robocalls and scam calls. So, in most cases, cold callers don't even reach me.

That depends entirely on your target market and what you are marketing. Facebook and Instagram are geared more towards Business to Consumer while LinkedIn is geared more towards businesses and professionals. You should be researching which social media platforms are being most used by the demographic that you are attempting to target. For example, if it's a younger audience, then Instagram and SnapChat may potentially be more effective than Facebook or LinkedIn since they cater to a younger demographic.

As a live entertainment company, I'd suggest that your best marketing angles would be both photography and video on Facebook and Instagram. Particularly video as it is considered hot right now. Show potential customers what you have to offer by promoting your live events. Both Instagram and Facebook are very affordable for boosting posts. But, don't forget networking. Participating in local Chamber and business association events creates relationships. Relationships can lead to referrals.

Many of my clients use InMotion Hosting or BlueHost. Personally, I prefer InMotion. Great pricing, reliable service, and good tech support. Stay away from GoDaddy. Their servers are slow and they nickle and dime you for features.
