As always, here’s the video guide: If you’re reading this, then you already know the importance of building a website. But if you’re not a professional website designer like we are, it’s really easy to make various mistakes that can wreck your site. The mistakes covered in this post can make your website look unprofessional and make your visitors more likely to click on that X button, which we don\'t want. But before we dive into the mistakes and their solutions, we want you to get into the right mindset. Your mindset should be this: Whenever designing your website, your ultimate objective is to minimize the amount of brainpower the visitor needs to use while on your website. The easier you make it for them to read, navigate, and click around on your website, the more successful your website will be. Website design should look for any and all ways to minimize time and mental bandwidth visitors use to get what they want. With that said, let\'s get started! The 10 Bad Website Design Mistakes You Should Avoid (And Their Solutions) Mistake #10 – Buttons That Blend A button, especially at the very top of your homepage should be your most important call-to-action. It should lead them to read more or check out your product A lot of people get caught up in making their whole website match that they forget that this button should stand out apart from everything else. This is the one thing that you want them to click on the most so it\'s much better for this button to be a completely opposite color that stands out. You want your visitors’ eyes to be immediately drawn to this button. For example, if it\'s the same color as the rest of your website, they might just skip […]

As always, here’s the video guide: If you like the video and want more tutorials on creating a professional website you can also subscribe to our YouTube channel! Now to the post… Alright yall, let’s talk about the internet. Literally everone is on the internet. All of the time. It doesn’t matter whether we’re looking to buy things, learn a new skill, watching TV, making new friends – we do just about everything but eat and sleep on the internet (though we know a couple of foodies and biohackers who try to do that too). Nowadays, having an online presence is basically a must if you want to achieve your hopes and dreams (unless you’re aspiring to be a monk or pro “sanitation engineer” – if so good for you!). If you’re reading this you almost certainly think that starts and ends with building a YouTube channel or solid Insta account. Don’t get us wrong, those are great ideas. But unfortunately, social media has become so noisy that it’s becoming harder and harder to actually stand out and make an impact if those are the only angles you’re working in the online presence game. So how do we get around that to step out of the noise and make an impact beyond the 1 billion Instagram or 1.8 billion YouTube users (hard to imagine at the moment, we know, but it’s totally doable!)? Easy: Create a website. Not for you you say? Sure it is! And here’s 10 reasons why.

Okay, so you’ve got your online business idea figured out. After hours of word-crunching, you’ve got a pretty rad name, you’ve bought the domain name and maybe you’ve even started to build your WordPress website. But in the back of your mind, that little spot in the top left corner of the page bugs you; there’s supposed to be a logo there. How the heck do I make a logo? Oh and since you’re just starting the process of building your business, you definitely don’t have the resources to hire a designer to make one for you. No worries friends, we’ve got your back. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to whip up a logo for your online business. For free. In 5 minutes. Because you’ve got a lot of great ideas to get out there and one heck of a business to build! Let\'s begin… A logo works a lot like your name (your personal name, not your business’). When you were born your parents gave you a name and over time, you brought a ton of personality to that noise people make with their mouths to identify you. So when people hear your name, they think of you with a few heart eyes emojis. Logos work in the same vein as a symbolic representation of your business, giving people something they can easily recognize and come to feel something (hopefully good) about your business. And more than most people names (sorry “John”), they can also share information about what your business is all about and how you rock the world. A good logo: Helps you stand out from the competition. Shares key information about your business. And builds brand recognition for your business. To do that can take a lot of work. And you already have a […]
