Congratulations to Platypus Medical Exercise Therapy and Training on the re-launch of their rebrand and website! In working on this project, reviewing all their before and after footage of clients was nothing short of jaw dropping!

They're located in Windsor and I highly recommend ...you check them out. With thanks to Matthew Rawle for copywriting and Alexa Kanchuk for production assistance. https://platypusmett.com/

Small business tip: Have a document where you track subscription costs and renewals. In my case 99.9% of my overhead is digital subscriptions and WOAH does it add up. Further to that, a lot of my providers are doing Halloween discounts (and soon Black Friday ones).... Had I paid closer attention to my renewals (especially for plugins) I could have saved $$$ by putting off renewals a few weeks for the sales. Live and learn!
