When I start working with a new client I often encounter a lot of different website hosting providers. Some great and some not so great.

Your website host should provide more than just a place to park your website. A good host will look after you. If you're not being looked after or your website is slowing to a crawl, maybe it's time to consider a new hosting provider.

During the month of April only, you can get migration from any host to the Golden Wattle Studios when you purchase an annual hosting and support package for $400. This works out to approximately $1.10 per day.

Getting your website to show up in Google Search is like magic right?

Well, no. It’s a systematic process that you can play a big part in whether or not your website gets any traffic from Google Search. By submitting your website to Google Search Console you are asking Google to actively look at your website so that it can be indexed based on the content you produce. This ultimately leads to the right customers finding you in Google Search.

In The Wattle Way Episode 2, I show you how and where to submit your website to Google so that you start showing up in Google Search.

I've been using a broken Google Pixel phone for the last few weeks after I dropped my Samsung and broke the digitiser (the screen behind the glass that displays everything).

I've used iPhones, Samsung, Google, Nokia and now Motorola. With respect to value for money, I've had the most joy using Motorola. They aren't the best quality or the best hardware but for $300 to get a phone with 5G and a triple lense 50MP camera is pretty nice.

(Viewer discretion is advised as several phones may have been harmed in the making of this post).
