New Site By Lincco

http://firstimpressionsfunding.com/ This client wanted a professional looking small business lending site. The site would consist of some static pages, two different forms and of course, on a budget. Using wordpress and 2 plug ins I was able to set up the site with a very good SEO manager and a great forms generator. I tried several free templates before I settled on the final one and began customizing some of its features.
