One of the services we provide is training - on to One of the services we provide is training - on topics such as:⁠ ⁠ Social media⁠ Content marketing⁠ Blogging⁠ ⁠ We also do other topics such as:⁠ ⁠ Planning your website⁠ Creating great case studies⁠ How to edit files in Indesign or PowerPoint or Photoshop⁠ Blog writing workshops⁠ ⁠ As Keren runs the most workshops and sessions (online and in person), she says there are pros and cons - for example:⁠ ⁠ Pros:⁠ I deliver and you know you've done a good job so I feel "that's enough."⁠ ⁠ Cons:⁠ I don't really feel it's good enough, as if people don't make changes and put new learning into good use soon, they won't get much out of it.⁠ ⁠ Why does it matter?⁠ I'd prefer if, down the line, the client/recipient of training writes and says "since our session, we've changed XYZ and this has resulted in an uptick of enquiries / new clients and business relationships / a whole lot of time saved.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ However, I can say I have taken courses myself and not necessarily put everything to action right away. and then what - did I waste my time and money?⁠ ⁠ Jot down below your thoughts and let me know if you deliver training do you also have any of these existential thoughts, and what do you do about it?⁠ ⁠ Keren's tips:⁠ ⁠ 👉️I give people homework between sessions and ask them to do this by the time we meet again, so I can review it. This usually means they HAVE to put into practice what they've learned.⁠ ⁠ 👉️I offer to review personally the work done by attendees if they submit their drafts to me for review by a certain date.⁠ ⁠ 👉️I offer a prize of a free consulting session to anyone who makes a change soonest/does the best article or draft etc.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #training #trainers #teaching #tips #socialmedia #contentmarketing #marketing #design
Happy Accidents:⁠ ⁠ Something Keren learned in Happy Accidents:⁠ ⁠ Something Keren learned in design school many years ago. Sometimes you try something out and you didn't mean it but it looks good so ends up being a part of the final version.⁠ ⁠ This photo, taken in Plovdiv through a window, where the server's green hair matched the plant decoration could also be seen as a "happy accident"⁠ ⁠ Ever had one yourself?⁠ ⁠ #design #happy #accident #plant #bulgaria #plovdiv
Krema is from Bulgaria, and she makes handmade jew Krema is from Bulgaria, and she makes handmade jewellery with gems and crystals. ⁠ ⁠ Crystals are known to help with balance, focus, motivation, healing and confidence – because they are natural and work with the energy of our bodies. ⁠Krema expressed that she would like help with bringing her personality more into her marketing.⁠ ⁠ She signed up for our Loyalty Club, and we began working together on many projects, as is the nature of the TLD Loyalty Club.⁠ ⁠ Here's what she says:⁠ ⁠ "I was looking for marketing services and met you in a divine way and time, so I took it as a sign 😊 I know I made the right decision.⁠ TLD has it all - a friendly team, goal orientated, great ideas, very complex services, and you were doing all the explaining for me. ⁠ ⁠ I generally think you were allowing me to use more than my Loyalty Club Units" as you never said "No" to anything I asked to be done and of course, always gave me options and opinions on things… THANK YOU ❤⁠"⁠ ⁠ Some of the projects we worked on:⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Redesigning how her Instagram page would look with new templates and styles⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Flyers and PDFs⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Krema Angelova Jewellery Wholesale brochure.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Updates to her website (which is a Wix site)⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Image creation.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Marketing direction and focus⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Setting her up on Google Merchant service and Instagram shopping feature⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Blogging headlines and copy⁠ ⁠ 👉️ LinkedIn - writing LinkedIn posts⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Branding extension⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Email newsletters⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Market research.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Product naming and marketing⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Design for print⁠ ⁠ She’s since gone on to do even greater things, expanding her Bulgarian market and continuing to create content including live streams and flash sales, and selling more than ever.

We at Top Left Design host around 150 websites and We at Top Left Design host around 150 websites and have our own server! ⁠ ⁠ We don’t consider ourselves a hosting company but have hosting partners we’ve worked with for 15 years. ⁠ ⁠ Generally, we host ONLY the websites we design and build. ⁠ ⁠ It makes it easier when we are launching the site to have good knowledge of the server environment. ⁠ ⁠ It also helps with ongoing maintenance and security upgrades.⁠ ⁠ What’s great about TLD Hosting - here is the list I made for our client:⁠ ⁠ 👉️ You can talk to us: Many big hosting companies have a help desk but they are people who don’t know you, anything about your site, or your history.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ We price for service as well as space: When people experience any issues with their sites, they can get in touch with us. Backed by our expert hosting partners, we can help with most issues.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Hosting is one part of the puzzle. Our team can make changes on your website to make it run faster, to bring more traffic to it, to help conversions, to hone the message, and to appeal to the right audiences. By having us take care of your hosting, any changes that are needed can be done by our team.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ If we built your site or if we maintain it, we can host it and it allows easier access and quicker changes when you need it.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ We only host clients who we’ve done projects for, so we have far fewer clients to manage⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Our hosting partners are hosting experts of 22 years with 4 team members, fully skilled in server and website security.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Our hosting partner keeps your website online with a guaranteed 99.95% network uptime, with daily backups up to 30 days.⁠ ⁠ Want to know more?⁠ ⁠ We have a wonderful PDF with our Ts and Cs, but also, we have other PDFs about what it takes to make a website destined to be taken care of by us on by our wonderful team! Get in touch to ask all the questions you’d like!⁠ ⁠ For example, our celebrity dentist client Dr. Richard hosts all 3 of his websites with us – which is convenient and efficient, makes it easy for us to make changes, and gives him peace of mind.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #hosting #benefits #tldhosting
Being used to working with owner managers of micro Being used to working with owner managers of microbusinesses means we're also used to and good at working with:👉️ People who look at their businesses like it's their "baby" 👉️ People who want the best because they have put so much into their business 👉️ People who have limited budgets.Microbusinesses, when I define them, are companies with 1-10 people who work there. We have a definite majority of these in our client base.Some would be surprised because we are considered "high end" when you look at the work we produce - everything is custom made, and we put time and attention to every detail. We give high levels of customer service, a lot of clear explanations and patience, and quality in the design, code, advice, and SEO for each project.How is it possible to work with microbusinesses with all these criteria, and still create high-end sites?However we've managed to work with this type of client, it's true, and this has been the case for nearly 20 years since TLD began.We want to be proud of how we are with our clients just as much as we want them to be proud of the websites and other projects we create for them.How do we do it?🧠 Quick at the thinking Because of our experience, certain things come easy for us, therefore can be given without much effort. So, we build in the advice, consulting, and ideas we are good at, without charging additional consultancy fees.🧧 Payment Plans We calculate a cost for a project, and we can spread this over up to 10 months. Suddenly this makes the investment much more affordable.🍳 Fast Action Bonus We are able to give additional services free of charge (things that would normally be quoted as an additional cost) as a reward for something that doesn’t take much effort - if a client makes a decision to go ahead quickly!🌲 Less waste We know what to do to save time along the way and therefore make the process easier and more streamlined for our clients.📩 Offers in our newsletter Anyone who keeps an eye on our newsletter knows that we’ve often given deals that allow people to try out our services with a small service before committing, or get additional work free of charge.
A few days ago a new article called "Top 10 UK Web A few days ago a new article called "Top 10 UK Web Design Agencies" was published on https://techbullion.com and it was a complete surprise to receive a Google Alert and a LinkedIn mention.⁠ ⁠ The article, written by Adriaan Brits, gives a good summary.⁠ ⁠ And his intro is worth quoting too - though it uses Americal spelling which is strange!⁠ ⁠ --------------⁠ Highly trusted web professionals that have been rated and reviewed can make a difference. In this buyers’ guide we have analyzed web design agencies from all over the U.K. to find the absolute best that the country has to offer. Over 1000 web design companies were evaluated to separate the wheat from the chaff.⁠ ⁠ This list has analyzed the quality of the websites which the agencies produce, the agencies user reviews as well as their general esteem within the industry. These agencies are listed in no particular order.⁠ ⁠ -------------⁠ ⁠ #review #testimonial #top10 #webdesign #websitedesigner #surprise #mention #pr #article

He definitiely has a way of getting things done and decisions made by the right people.⁠ ⁠ Check out the site and read some of his case studies:⁠ ⁠ www.bellandspoke.com⁠ ⁠ #website #webdesign #logo #launch #client #property #projectmanagement #bicycle #newwebsite #websitelaunch

Zoom calls are a part of my life so there are days where I just stay at home. In Bulgaria I get to use my Dad’s office which is really great. ⁠ ⁠ My favourite is to meet with a friend at a place where we can do “coworking” and “work sprints”. ⁠ ⁠ Anyway, I came up with an acronym I am very proud of that I would like to share. ⁠ ⁠ CATPAWZ⁠ ⁠ C - coffee – great coffee – if I can order an “oat milk flat white” or “oaty flat” even better ⁠ ⁠ A – atmosphere – I like it when a place plays music ⁠ ⁠ T – table – I don’t like to sit on a tall stool with my legs dangling – a table that’s desk height is ideal⁠ ⁠ P – plug – my laptop needs regular energy!⁠ ⁠ A – accessibility, I don’t want to travel 40mins to get somewhere – within 10mins walk from home is best!⁠ W – wifi ⁠ ⁠ Z – Zoom calls – a place I can have them without being made to feel guilty!⁠ ⁠ I like to eat also so I make sure I order lunch and coffees and drinks so I earn my keep.⁠ ⁠ What are your criteria for working spaces?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #working #worksprints #coffeeshop #catpaw #catpaws #zoom #plug #wifi #zoomcalls #nomadic #work #productivity #designer #websitedesign
