Things You Should Know

I’m a big fan of EWWWIO for WordPress and Masonry. But lately, I’ve noticed some issues when using them together. Masonry recommends using a companion plugin called imagesLoaded to detect when an image is completely downloaded into the browser window. That allows you to run a function to trigger the re-layout of Masonry. Well, on […]

Typically when I build out a new site, I do it on a real server hosted off-premises. I started building sites that way a long time ago, and it just stuck. Why? Out of convenience in showing the client, and probably because it was easier for me to push them live (back then, circa 2013). […]

Today I was overjoyed to stumble across a new filter in the function that gets the archive title in WordPress: get_the_archive_title(). This filter allows you to easily change the word/prefix “Arhives: ” to whatever you want or to NOTHING. I generally was never a fan of the prefixed text: “Archives: ” and “Category: ” coming […]

Should you go for a pre-made website template or a custom website? What is the best decision? Okay, since I’m going to tackle a lot here I’m going to break it up a bit so it’s easier to follow. We get asked ALL. THE. TIME. about why someone should use us to create a fully […]

I recently was working on a project for our client, Moondance Jewelry, and they needed a way to display certain add-on choices by a taxonomy other than the built-in WooCommerce product category (product_cat). Want to bypass the BS and just look at the Gist? Go for it. Moondance Jewelry sells hundreds of products online, and […]

Have you ever created a content calendar for your business? I’d venture to say probably not. Why? Because in my experience most clients haven’t had time to post any of their own content, let alone plan for it.  Or, they think they don’t have time.  But, you really need to make the time to create […]

Wow, I’ve been pretty MIA on this blog that last 2 months, haven’t I? Thank goodness we’re officially back-to-school! I guess I’ll cough it up to enjoying the summer. But, now that we’re just about 3 weeks into school, I can officially say I’m “Back to Work” and ready to get my Wednesday emails going again, […]

Today we’re going to look at Calls to Action (CTAs). Have you heard of these before? They are a very important piece to the puzzle when it comes to building a website that works for you. CTAs can get you leads. But, you have to do them right. What does that mean? It means you […]

Today we wanted to touch upon one of the most important factors of running a business – TRUST.  Why is it so important? Because it is earned. It’s not a given.  Remember when you had to earn your parent’s trust as a kid? That’s what it’s like running your own business, instead of earning your […]
