Too many large images will hurt your search rankings and create a less-than-optimal user experience. Format, resize, and optimize all of the images and use an online tool like TinyPNG to make the images a smaller size!. JPEGs and WEBP files are great file types to use. The goal is to find a balance between good quality and the lowest file size. 2๏ธโƒฃ Call-to-action (CTA) buttons are the secret sauce that turn passive browsing into active engagement. Use colors, persuasive wording, and strategic placement to ignite curiosity and create conversions.๐Ÿ”ฅ 'Buy Now,' 'Sign Up,' or 'Get Started' are some examples of CTA buttons that you can start using now! โœ… 3๏ธโƒฃ Think of your website like a vibrant digital garden โ€“ keeping your website's content fresh is like watering the plants. So, grab your virtual gardening gloves and nurture your website by keeping it up-to-date! Don't let your website wilt because of old and outdated content. ๐ŸŒฑ 4๏ธโƒฃ Reviews are powerful. They build trust, add confidence, and sway potential customers to choose your brand. The authentic voices of satisfied customers speak volumes about the value you offer and customers will want it too! ๐Ÿ‘€ Integrating social media feeds into your website encourages more engagement and highlights the social buzz surrounding your business. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Competition is fierce and it's never been more important to stand out and provide a stellar user experience! โœจ ย  ย  #webdesign #websitedesign #webdesigner #UXDesign #UIDesign #businesstips #successtips #webdesignagency #webdesignservices #websiteaudit #designtips #web #customwebsite #designinspiration #uxdesigner #wordpressdesigner #wordpressdesign #webtips #WebsiteRefresh #calltoaction #website #smallbusiness #marketing #webdesigning #branddesigner #webdesignerlife #webdesigninspiration ย #websitedesigninspiration #calltoaction #branding

Seeking feedback from non-target peeps? Hold up! ๐Ÿคš๐Ÿ›‘โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹ Stay on track with your brand's vibe by asking people who would *actually* buy from you. If you want feedback on your branding ask your target audience, NOT your family, friends, neighbors, and random people! โœ–๏ธ ๐Ÿ’กRemember: NOT everyone is supposed to be a fan of your logo. A good brand identity with a solid logo will attract your ideal target audience, not every single person that comes across your brand.

We're still loving this brand and business card ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹ Do you think business cards are necessary as an online business? We do! Getting your first box of printed business cards is like a rite of passage for a new business. ๐Ÿฅฐ Maybe we're old-school, but we still love exchanging business cards. Are they absolutely necessary? No (hello, LinkedIn & digital cards). Do they still provide value? Yes. โœ… Like a physical paperback compared to an e-reader, there is something meaningful and personal in giving and receiving cards when meeting people. Business cards offer some key benefits โฌ‡๏ธ โญ Promotion! You know when youโ€™re talking with someone new. A lot of the time theyโ€™ll ask you what you do for work. It never hurts to drop them your card! It's easy and they're cost-friendly. โญ Learning Opportunity If youโ€™ve never printed business cards before, this is a great way to see your project go from screen to physical. Let us know what you think below. Are business cards dead or are they still useful? ๐Ÿ‘‡ #businesscard #branding #businesscarddesign #businesscards #graphicdesigner #logodesign #logodesigner #logotype #typography #logoinspiration #brandidentity #branddesign #mockup #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowners #designinspo #businesscardsdesign #designinspiration #businessowner #explore #designlovers #branddesigner #brandingagency #creativecommunity #graphicdesigncommunity #womaninbusiness #creativebusiness #womenentrepreneurs #adobeillustrator #bossbabe
