👉 Is a Blog Worth It These Days? 👈⁠ ⁠ ⁠ (BTW this is a picture of Caspar, one of Keren's mom's dogs! He's the sweetest! A brown English lab, of a certain age, with the gentlest nature!)⁠ ⁠ Blogging (and we mean for business, not for personal use) has been around for a long time.⁠ ⁠ But people do question:⁠ Is it still worth it in today's digital landscape? ⁠ ⁠ Especially with all these long LinkedIn posts people are writing, that are getting ALL the attention?⁠ ⁠ Well, we love the long LinkedIn posts, and yet, we still have a blog - www.topleftdesign.com/blog if you want to check it out. ⁠ ⁠ We're happy with having it, and in some cases, our blog articles get more traffic than our homepage. ⁠ ⁠ This means, people find us FIRST via a blog article and then click around our site!⁠ ⁠ Here are some pros and cons to help you decide:⁠ ⁠ ## 👍 Pros:⁠ ⁠ - 📈 Increases website traffic and SEO (as we've seen first hand)⁠ - 💰 Generates leads and revenue (from the traffic)⁠ - 📢 Establishes authority and credibility in your industry⁠ - 📚 A platform for sharing knowledge, personality and insights⁠ - 🎨 Allows for creative expression and personal branding⁠ ⁠ ## 👎 Cons:⁠ ⁠ - 🕰️ Time-consuming to create quality content⁠ - 🤝 Requires consistent effort and commitment⁠ - 📌 Can be difficult to stand out⁠ - 📉 Results may take time to see⁠ - 🚫 Risk of negative feedback or criticism⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #blogpost #blogger #socialmedia #interview #writing #emailmarketing #contentmarketing #website #blog #writerslife

We obviously have a specialty in WordPress bespoke sites, but believe it or not, we’ve worked on a few Squarespace sites too.🌟 Squarespace vs WordPress 🌟👉 Squarespace Pros: 👉 Easy to use with drag-and-drop design - quicker to put together👉 Beautiful pre-made templates👉 All-in-one platform (hosting included)👉 Good customer support👎 Squarespace Cons:👎 Limited customisation options👎 Easy to mess up those beautiful templates unless you’re a professional designer👎 Can be surprisingly pricey, especially for eCommerce👎 Not as many third-party integrations as WordPress👉 WordPress Pros:👉 Highly customisable with any design you like (we create completely from scratch designs and nothing holds us back)👉 Wide range of plugins and integrations available👉 Open-source so upgrades are delivered to all👉 Great for SEO - the industry best!👎 WordPress Cons:👎 Steep learning curve, especially for beginners👎 You’ll probably need us to help put it together👎 Requires separate hosting and regular security upgrades👎 More time-consuming to set up and maintainWhile both platforms have their pros and cons, at our company, are WordPress fans.This is because we give the highest possible quality websites for our clients - to WOW and impress, not disappoint!Which one would you choose?

Another brilliant James Clear quote! ⁠ ⁠ Our team is always on the lookout for ways to improve and innovate, and we take pride in our core values, which include Teach and Learn, Efficient, Effective, and Reliable, Caring and Helpful, and Enthusiastic and Energetic. ⁠ ⁠ Taking a moment to breathe deeply and think about our “Teach and Learn” value⁠ ⁠ We believe in continuous improvement and learning, which is why we are always trying the latest tools for productivity, efficiency, design, and communication. We share our knowledge as a team and with our clients, taking the time to clearly explain technical how-tos, tips, and tricks.⁠ ⁠ As James Clear says, "When you need to learn quickly, learn from others. When you need to learn deeply, learn from experience." ⁠ ⁠ Things get better when we learn from each other!⁠ ⁠ #WebsiteDesign #CustomerService #Innovation #CoreValues #ContinuousImprovement #Learning #Communication #Efficiency #Productivity #Design #TechnicalHowTos #TipsAndTricks #Caring #Helpful #Enthusiastic #Energetic #JamesClear #Experience #TailoredServices #PositiveAttitude #Friendly #Approachable⁠

We truly believe that websites are the home base o

We truly believe that websites are the home base of a business and worth the attention.⁠ ⁠ However, it’s also true that they are mostly neglected. Recently, Keren reviewed 7 websites, from very successful businesses.⁠ ⁠ "I was able to easily find 5 or more things that needed to be fixed. Many of them were quick wins, things that could be fixed within half an hour of effort."⁠ ⁠ Here’s what people say as their excuses for this website shame or neglect:⁠ ⁠ 👉 We don’t get much work from our website – it’s usually word of⁠ mouth!⁠ 👉 Don’t people mostly look at social media these days?⁠ 👉 I can’t afford to make changes⁠ 👉 I don’t have the space in my head to even think about it.⁠ 👉 We just did a whole new site, I don’t want to get back into it all⁠ over again⁠ ⁠ So I have created 4 short tasks that can move you forward to a better situation, despite all the excuses above. Read, think, consider. I know you will not regret these 10 minutes, less time than you spend scrolling through social media or dealing with your junk mail or⁠ other non-productive tasks!⁠ ⁠ 10 minute website success tips:⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ Browse through your site and make a list of the things that annoy you the most.⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Ask for an SEO audit and see how your site is scoring for keywords you want to be found for.⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Send the website to your favourite three clients and ask what they think is missing or off-putting.⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ List the 3 reasons you're the right choice for your ideal client and then check if your site agrees!⁠ ⁠ #business #website #success
