Have you ever come across a spelling mistake while reading a blog post? Interestingly Google dislikes them just as much!

Grammar mistakes and spelling errors can detract from the user experience, and maybe even make potential customers harshly judge your professionalism. From an SEO perspective, they negatively affect your SEO because Google is focusing on user experience and will rank your website worse, if you have grammar mistakes!

The good news is that Google likes to see you updating your site, so, as you refresh your existing content, remember to conduct thorough grammar and spelling checks to correct any mistakes.

Welcome to the internet https://www.fionamarron.com/

The artist Fiona Marron is an National College of Art & Design, Dublin graduate, who had her first solo exhibition way back in 1983. She has lived in in the US - exploring cities like New York and rain forests in Olympia. She now has returned to her native Irish bogland, where she has her own studio in Kildare.

Her work is heavily influenced by landscape, Irish legends (look for Sheela na Gig artwork).

She wanted a unique minimalistic-but-modern website to showcase her artwork.

“Painting an Irish bog…something in my bones just clicks into place…I’m meant to be here…painting here…it’s what I love…It flows…better…something I cannot explain…it’s like fresh air…you know when you’re breathing it…Irish landscape is my fresh air…”

Check out her work, and while you're there - try out the light/dark mode on her website! https://www.fionamarron.com/

“Occasionally I paint a painting that almost paints itself. Something magical happens and I’m never quite sure what or how…I relinquish control and let the painting happen”… “Occasionally I paint a painting that almost paints itself. Something magical happens and I’m never quite sure w...

This is from Google (global survey) - despite the pandemic, 78% of sales are still expected to be made in-store by 2024.

90% of global shoppers said they used a Google search *before* they went into a store.

Shops with a physical location still have a huge advantage in terms of the physical connection, getting to know their customers, and selling items that shoppers want 'immediately'. You can still use online to drive traffic to your physical store, it is more difficult to measure though.
