Free tool alert:
Canva. Oh how I love Canva.

Great tool for creating your graphics for social media, and anything really. Predefined sizes and designs to get you moving AND you can download what you make.

Base tier is great and free but they have an amazingly powerful paid plan too. I'm so blown away by this product, have been using it since 2015 and it's only gotten better.

Get on it people https://www.canva.com/

(FYI - This business in an Australian born startup pitched by a 24yo woman in Perth about 6 years ago. So inspiring)

Create beautiful designs with your team. Use Canva's drag-and-drop feature and layouts to design, share and print business cards, logos, presentations and more.

Very excited to show you this one - a website built for a baby photographer, Aimee Cook, and boy did I get clucky working through this!

Aimee had previous experience with WordPress but after a hack, and ongoing frustration with a dated WordPress theme, a rebuild was necessary.

Aimee writes
"I cannot recommend Live by 5 highly enough. Cath was able to talk me through everything step by step in a way I understood and created a beautiful, functional website for my business after my pervious platform and web host left me stranded.

The best part is I now know that my website will be updated, backed up and totally taken care of without me having to go in and manually do it myself."
