What is your current level of experience in freelance work?
We're a family-run Internet Service Provider based in Quincy, Washington, serving homes and small businesses throughout Grant County.

Our goal: double our customer base over the next 12 months. Context / Opportunity: Ziply has recently acquired several mid-sized regional ISPs in our area.
