Sara Dunn is enthusiastic about marketing, WordPress, messaging, and search engine optimization. Inspired by the love of these, she built 11Web, a digital marketing agency in Battle Creek, MI, where as founder and project lead she has worked with more than 125 clients on website design and marketing projects. She also has a talent for identifying pain points and creating a solution, demonstrated by the inexpensive maintenance package she implemented for her current clients and the 2017 launch of a niche service offering SEO specifically to the wedding industry.

When she’s not solving other people’s problems, vlogging, learning, or teaching, she enjoys traveling with her husband or spending time at home spoiling her French Bulldog.
