Then read up on our interview with&nbsp;<strong>Yuliya Shulman<\/strong>, Founder of&nbsp;<strong>Yes I Web<\/strong>, located in Newton, MA, USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whats-your-business-and-who-are-your-customers\">What&#8217;s your business, and who are your customers?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yuliya Shulman - Yes I Web\/YesIWeb\" class=\"wp-image-661 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yuliya Shulman - Yes I Web\/YesIWeb\" class=\"wp-image-661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PA220020_linkedin.jpg 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I help businesses maintain their web presence. I do website design, development, and maintenance, and I perform a variety of web-related services \u2013 setting up newsletters, creating Wikipedia pages, SEO (search engine optimization), and so on. I also do graphic design \u2013 creating logos, ads, flyers, posters, and business cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of my clients are small businesses and self-employed professionals: artists, writers, coaches, doctors, therapists, and real estate agents. Just like me, they struggle against the difficulties of maintaining small businesses and competing against large companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My clients always get personal service \u2013 that&#8217;s what sets me apart from big web development companies. I&#8217;m there whenever they need me, even if occasionally I have to work in the middle of the night or during a family vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/yesiweb-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"Yes I Web - designed website\" class=\"wp-image-663 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"910\" src=\"https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/yesiweb-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"Yes I Web - designed website\" class=\"wp-image-663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/yesiweb-screenshot.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/yesiweb-screenshot-300x273.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yesiweb.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/yesiweb-screenshot-768x699.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tell-us-about-yourself\">Tell us about yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was a kid, I wanted to be a theatrical designer, but it didn&#8217;t happen. So, I opted for a practical profession and became a software engineer. I happily worked in this profession for quite some time, and then one day realized we both had changed \u2013 the field I was working in was deviating towards things I didn&#8217;t want to do anymore and areas I didn&#8217;t care about<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I yearned for the visual aspect, so I switched to website design and development as the only area where I could combine my professional expertise with my desires and the artist&#8217;s training I received as a child. I&#8217;ve been doing website and graphic design ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whats-your-biggest-accomplishment-as-a-business-owner\">What&#8217;s your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took me some time to get to a point where my future customers started seeking me because they&#8217;d heard about me from somebody or just found me on Google or social media. It&#8217;s exciting because my business is growing, and it&#8217;s also exciting because I know I leave a trail of happy customers who share their happy stories with fellow businesspeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whats-one-of-the-hardest-things-that-comes-with-being-a-business-owner\">What&#8217;s one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being on your own. There are professional boards where one can ask for advice there are professional boards where people share information and support. Still, when it comes to technical questions or business decisions \u2013 I&#8217;m a one-person operation, and I&#8217;m on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-top-tips-youd-give-to-anyone-looking-to-start-run-and-grow-a-business-today\">What are the top tips you&#8217;d give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Listen to your instinct, and don&#8217;t do anything that doesn&#8217;t feel right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect with like-minded individuals and support one another.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it&#8217;s worth doing, it&#8217;s worth doing well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-can-people-find-you-and-your-business\">Where can people find you and your business?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Website:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesiweb.com\/\">https:\/\/www.yesiweb.com\/<\/a><br>Facebook:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yesiweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yesiweb<\/a><br>Instagram:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yes.i.web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yes.i.web\/<\/a><br>LinkedIn:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/yes-i-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/yes-i-web\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interview with me.
