A week completely focused on emails sounds pretty lame - even from a marketing agency. (It’s National Email Week.)

But we do know email marketing is still an effective way to keep your audience updated on your services and products.

Take some time this week and send out one email.

It might start a habit.

• Post consistently
• Reply to comments and messages
• Use actual photos and videos
• Write captions that sound human
• Make content people want to share
• Don’t disappear for three months and come back asking for engagement
• Experiment with short-form video
• Pay attention to what your audience actually responds to

Follow some of these tips and you might find a new online BFF.

Why does it feel like every month there’s a donut-related holiday?

Not that we are complaining, but since we handle a lot of social media accounts, National Donut Day always seems to show up and somehow qualify for most of our clients.

Turns out, there are at least two National Donut Days - today being the first and November 5 being the other.

For whatever reason, donut-inspired social media posts always do well.

You still have time. Post a picture of a donut.

Although we would love to tell you to take this entire month to focus on Internet Safety Month, we’re good if you just finish reading this post.

Here are a few things you should do today to make your online profiles a bit more secure:

• Update old passwords
• Turn on two-factor authentication
• Stop using the same password for everything
• Don’t click weird email links
• Back up your website
• Keep your software updated

Not the most exciting to-do list in the world…but future-you will probably appreciate it.

Whoa, we didn't even know we had a social media holiday.

Well, let's take a break from building websites and have some cake.

Thank you to everyone on our team (and extended team) that's ever coded, dragged, dropped, wireframed, designed, edited, and optimized a website.

We appreciate you.

Happy Web Designer Day.

Is ChatGPT still the best AI tool for creatives and marketers?

Eric Hersey put that question to the test by spending time working inside Claude and Gemini to see how they actually compare in real-world workflows.

The takeaway is refreshing because it’s not blind hype or fear around AI. It’s practical experimentation.

In this article, Eric breaks down where each platform shines, where they fall short, and why the real value of AI is not replacing human creativity, but improving efficiency, research, organization, and workflow.

Some of the most interesting insights come from:
• Using Claude to expand podcast storytelling and long-form writing
• Testing Claude Code to automate photo organization and file naming
• Comparing Custom GPTs, Gems, and project organization between platforms
• Understanding why human editing and perspective still matter

The conclusion is not “one AI wins.”

It’s that different tools serve different purposes, and the smartest workflows combine them strategically.

When most people think about a website, they think about how it LOOKS.

But one of the most important questions is...can everyone actually USE it?

Can visitors read your text easily? Navigate on mobile? Understand your layout? Watch your videos with captions? Fill out your forms without frustration?

Accessibility isn't just about compliance. It's about creating a better experience for real people.

And honestly? Most businesses don't intentionally build bad websites. They just never stop to think about how other people experience them.

On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, this is your reminder to spend five minutes looking at your website through someone else's eyes.

A cleaner, easier, more accessible website usually benefits everybody.
