I've had Alex from LegitWebs handle all my websites and advertising for at least 20 years. Don't spin your wheels with other estimates, I did, several times, only to have Alex fix their mistakes. Alex has always been the man behind the scene.
Alex is ALWAYS prompt when responding to email or urgent situations. LegitWebs redesigned our website and gave me the tools to make updates and blog posts myself. He helps with any tech problem without making me feel stupid, and always has a good attitude with new SEO ideas.
