***all the Q & A on a long scroll down list so that when clicking on the link, it just moves down to that point.***

That would be great also with the option of a pdf option…

Have you ever considered putting that whole q&a in a free downloadable pdf? If it were me I would make it a free booklet; people like freebe’s & is easier to read all of that. Most people will leave if they have to be click crazy on a site.

I have felt the benefit from day 1 when I started…[Read more]
