https://online.maryville.edu/online-bachelors-degrees/english/careers/ This is a great guide to careers for English majors from Maryville University (no affiliation). If you’re wondering what you can do with an English degree, there are many possible career paths that offer a growing number of job opportunities, this guide lists several options! (thank you to the student that discovered this resource and reached out to me!)
https://hostingfacts.com/website-builders/The guide is a very in depth review of the 10 most popular website builders of 2019. Especially those who need an online platform to showcase and market their incredible work, but don't have a massive budget to get it built professionally (all are beginner friendly).
