Your email address is already making an impression

Your email address is already making an impression — before anyone reads a word you wrote.
Before a potential customer reads your pitch, your proposal, or your follow-up, they see where it came from. That one detail tells them something about whether you’ve built something real.
Gmail is a fine starting point. But at some point, moving to a custom domain email — hello@yourbusiness.com or yourname@yourdomain.com — is one of the clearest signals you can send that you’re established and committed to what you’re building.
Small move. Real trust.
