Lisa is a goddess among mortals! She has helped me go from zero to genuinely confident with my website, and every one of her suggestions has paid unbelievable dividends. She knows what she is doing, she knows how to help her students know what they are doing, and she is supremely generous with her time and ideas. To top it off, she is delightful to work with. Take her classes!
