If you're thinking of changing up your website this month, take a moment first, as sometimes changes can do more harm than good - and you actually lose traffic rather than gaining conversions.

Do you want a better website this year?

I don't mean the branding or the look/design... do you want a website that attracts and CONVERTS more visitors?

Then you need to work on it.

It's not enough to have a pretty website that you leave sitting there hoping that your customers stumble upon it, these days.
It should be a huge part of your ongoing marketing strategy.

So follow these tips and make your website work harder for your business, this year.

So.... in today's installment of stupid things I've done..... Yesterday, I fell off a small wall, and now I have stitches in my hand.

I can still work, thanks to having a vertical mouse, but I will be slower than normal, and I expect I will need more breaks than usual for a few days.

I will also look a bit of a state for the next week as I can't get it wet so the husband will be washing my hair 😱

Thanks for bearing with me!

P.s. I still haven't gotten back into my page but I can post there via Instagram! 😬

I was recently a participant in an accessible zoom meeting and it was amazing! 🎉

I normally hate group meetings because I find it hard to process and interact. This one changed all that.

They introduced some 'rules' to make it easier for everyone and I thought I'd share them with you, here.

If you regularly run group online meetings, why not try 1 or 2 and see what the feedback is like?

I'm still learning every day....and still doing daft things.
