Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.⁠ ⁠ This means - taking the time to stop and check at each stage we're on the right path will make things faster!⁠ ⁠ ⏱️ We have several stages where we stop and check. ⁠ ⁠ 🥳 This is why we have such a great rate of success with our bespoke designed websites and other projects - we'd never build a site without sign-off of a design, and we'd not even start designing without getting a really thorough brief in place.⁠ ⁠ 😌 And miraculously, it doesn't take ages, add much time to the overall project length, or feel like a chore.⁠ ⁠ The opposite! ⁠ ⁠ They love the collaborative approach we take and the fact we involve them in the decisions. No blind sighting going on, and only the best type of surprises!. ⁠ ⁠ You have the experience running your business which is unique to you and this is why we involve you. ⁠ ⁠ Want to learn more about how it works? 🌱⁠ ⁠ Mention the phrase "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" when you get in touch and we'll ensure you get a mystery bonus when we talk!⁠ ⁠ #milestones #process #slow #fast #time #paradox #carousel #smallbusiness #tips #webdesign #design⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #marketing #business #web #socialmedia #graphicdesign #digital #entrepreneur #creative #websitedesign #websites #webdesigner #inspiration #online #socialmediamarketing #socialmedia #contentmarketing #who #what #why⁠ ⁠

Another bit of wisdom from James Clear - Keren sub

Another bit of wisdom from James Clear - Keren subscribes to his weekly email newsletter and it's fantastic! So sometimes we design images to share his words.⁠ ⁠ More about James Clear:⁠ ⁠ James (@jamesclear) is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits, which has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide. His work has appeared in Entrepreneur magazine, Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal and on CBS This Morning - and he does talks to large companies and at big events (eg Capital One, Cisco, General Electric, Honda, Intel, LinkedIn, Lululemon, McKinsey & Company, Merrill Lynch and many more.) ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #habits #motivation #youcandoit #personalgrowth #startsomewhere #quote #goals #entrepreneur #marketing #smallbusinessowner #entrepreneurship ⁠ ⁠ #sme #smallbusiness #instragrampost #postoftheday #wisdom #insight #habitloop #atomichabit #success #branding #socialmedia #love #inspiration #entrepreneurlife #businessowner #design #entrepreneurs #advice⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Wix or WordPress?⁠ ⁠ 🗳️ We’re working on sites in both platforms now, though we’ve been known as WordPress specialists, we can see the benefits for some clients for sure. ⁠ ⁠ ⏳ A note about speed in this context - we're talking about how quick the website can be made - not website loading speed - which can be fast on either platform if you know how to optimise images and you don't overload your pages with code!⁠ ⁠ 🖐️ If you would like help deciding which option is best for your business, book a discovery call with us (who likes / dislikes this phrase – let us know)⁠ ⁠ #wix #wordpress #website #which #compare #platform #custimisation #webdesign #flexibility #updates #discovery #call⁠

Streetart in Bulgaria - inspired post!⁠ ⁠ ----

Streetart in Bulgaria - inspired post!⁠ ⁠ ---------------⁠ ⁠ TLD has been around for 20 years, and since we work with many small businesses rather than just a few blue-chip corporate companies, this means we have experiences with many and personality types.⁠ ⁠ We've learned to adapt - more more hands on clients we give patience and we listen and comply.⁠ ⁠ For those who want us to get on with it with minimal intervention required, we take charge and keep our meetings with them short and effective.⁠ ⁠ What we have discovered with each client is:⁠ ⁠ There is always something different and unique to uncover - something they or their business does differently.⁠ ⁠ The thing that attracts their best clients. The "who/what/why/how" combination.⁠ ⁠ It's what they are already known for, by the people who have worked with them and bought their products and services. It's why their best clients return over and over.⁠ ⁠ And it's our job as their design and marketing team to identify these characteristics, describe and create their official "key messages." ⁠ ⁠ Then we find ways to weave this through our designs and marketing collateral.⁠ ⁠ No matter what else changes with technology, platforms and marketing habits, this is consistently true!⁠ ⁠ This streetart photo was taken in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, by Keren Lerner.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #advice #contentmarketing #art #unique #marketing #messages #great #greatness #website #webdesign #unicorn #paint #streetart #client #services #design #socialmedia #pink #yellow #bright #plovdiv #bulgaria #inspired #turquoise

How do we define The TLD Loyalty Club?⁠ ⁠ Beca

How do we define The TLD Loyalty Club?⁠ ⁠ Because we have many skills and abilities, and because the world of website design, marketing, and social media is complicated, we decided to create a simple offering, with predictable output, lots of support, and the right kind of attention for you so you can get the right type of attention from your audience!⁠ ⁠ We include as well as everything else:⁠ ⁠ ⭐ Free of charge / included WordPress upgrades⁠ ⁠ ⭐ Security and plugin updates⁠ ⁠ ⭐ Planning, consultancy, and training⁠ ⁠ ⭐ Proactive suggestions for your website, design, social media, blog and marketing.⁠ ⁠ ⭐ The team discusses you each week (planning how we can do more to help!)⁠ ⁠ ⭐ Social media planning sessions and style designs⁠ ⁠ You don't have to be shy, if you want to know more (including costs) - ask us - we have a PDF we can send you all about it and you can find out what's in a Unit!⁠ ⁠ #loyaltyclub #tld #team #teamwork #client #love #getintouch #streamlined #easy #support #design #code #wordpress #website #marketing #websitedesign #webdesign #socialmedia #agency #ongoing #loyalty #monthly #help #together #knowing #designing #coding #HTML #training #support⁠ive⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

To be efficient, we at TLD combine the natural "in-person" experience with systems and processes "out of the box" so we are both human and organised!⁠ ⁠ Take for example when we get a new client - YAY! ⁠ ⁠ 👉 We need to get certain information from the clients, to get them into our system!⁠ ⁠ 👉 Keren tells the team, and we celebrate (Slack is the means of communication here, celebration can include cheers/coffee/emojis, wine/champagne or we save it for our next team get-together)⁠ ⁠ 👉 We assign a project manager and a designer for the project - and introduce the client to that person if they don't already know them⁠ ⁠ 👉 We customise our briefing questionnaire so as a new client you don't have to answer the same questions you already answered in our meeting, how boring is that! Keren makes lots of notes in these early scoping and discovery meetings and those get pre-filled into our questionnaire.⁠ ⁠ 👉 We let you know we are excited to be working with you”⁠ ⁠ 👉 We add to our calendars a day to remind you if the questionnaire hasn’t arrived⁠ ⁠ 👉 Once we receive the questionnaire back we suggest dates for design presentation – within a certain number of working hours so you're not left hanging⁠ ⁠ All these things are part of our welcome process for new projects!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ This post was inspired by this customised mailbox,📸 photo taken by Keren in Plovdiv, Bulgaria!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #customised #human #websitedesign #agency #webdesign #people #working #worklife #streetart #teamwork #communication #love #clientlove #onboarding #process #efficiency #helpful #efficient #getitdone #togetherness⁠ ⁠ ⁠

While in Cannes this past week for the film festiv

While in Cannes this past week for the film festival, Keren wasn’t just “swanning around”. Valuable networking was done!Some highlights:Attending the Power Women Summit breakfast (attended by total approx 70 women, mostly in film) to discuss topics like diversity, inclusion, bias, speaking up and making change.Spending time with @tolilikaki who is an inspiration - she has been responsible for the Greek tax incentive for film - meaning so far 3 Millennium projects (Keren’s family’s film company) have wrapped filming in Thessaloniki, Greece in the last 6 months and many more are planned for this year.Catching up with Susan Simnett, film maker, and bonding after a 3 years hiatus. Many overlaps were discovered!#cannes2020 #cannesfilmfestival #networking #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #inspiringwomen #creativity #producers
