The evolution of website design has been swift but not always affordable for small businesses. Michelle Renee recognized this problem and set out to solve it by creating professional websites at lower prices.
With a degree in commercial art and over 18 years of design experience, plus a passion for small businesses, Michelle started her website design firm,
Streamlined Business Solutions, in 2010, by designing one-page websites before expanding to larger versions.
