Instagram has announced a new version of the Instagram Reels algorithm, and it will drastically change how brands and creators use the viral video platform.

"As the owner of a small business who has no background in computers or web design and maintenance, I was very concerned when I received an alert that hackers had targeted my WordPress website. Esthetic changes also had to be made on the website itself. Samantha Gernhart of Clarity Marketing and Design was highly recommended to me and I could quickly see why she has such an impressive reputation. After an initial telephone conversation in which we discussed my concerns about ...hackers and the changes I would like implemented, Samantha went quickly to work, not only removing the malware, but making the requested improvements to the site. She also suggested some changes to the site that I had not thought of, and these further improved the appearance of my website, which is after all, the first impression prospective customers have of my business. Samantha also took the time to make a short video, outlining the changes she made, and this was very informative. Her prices are very reasonable, her level of knowledge and competence are high, and her service was prompt. I feel very relieved, knowing my website is in her competent hands." -Leanne, Paw Patrol Dog Walking and Pet Services See more

Easy to communicate with, very quick response to emails, as well with any changes I requested.
