The Problem
Vazquez Paradise Landscaping lacked a website, impacting their online presence and credibility
Prior to the project, Vazquez Paradise Landscaping faced a significant challenge as they did not have an existing website, which resulted in a lack of online presence and visibility. Without an online platform, potential clients had limited means to learn about the company or find their services. This absence of an internet footprint hindered the company's ability to showcase their expertise, connect with customers, and establish a credible online reputation.
