My new strategy is to use AI as a marketing consultant to be of better service to you and your business. Using AI has shown to be a game changer in the research I’ve been doing this May. I now feel comfortable and confident in offering you my new marketing services with my new marketing consultant, Claude.

Although, we all can get answers to our questions from any AI platform, you and I still need to know what to ask and how to implement the suggestions correctly. With my foundational knowledge of SEO and how to build an online presence, adding Claude’s insights will be the bridge that crosses the gap and connects us to new patients, customers, and clients.

In 2023 I designed a new logo for my web design business, Schildbach Design. I've always seen this logomark having potential to be an animation, and at the beginning of 2026 I've finally animated it.

The drum beat is created on an electronic instrument called an Organelle.

This blog article is “one chapter” of my own WordPress tutorial series for my clients to manage their own site. Every year WordPress becomes more user friendly and this guide hopefully makes content management in the Gutenberg Editor even more approachable. I plan on creating other chapters on popular subjects that will help clients manage their own sites. Additionally, there are millions of people who use WordPress, and even though it’s all been done before, I wanted to supply the public with my own personal technique of using WordPress. This first article covers Images Galleries. https://schildbachdesign.com/step-by-step-guide-wordpress-photo-gallery/

Upgrading to Google Analytics 4 is, for most of us, necessary. Google is sun setting Universal Analytics (Google Analytics 3) and has been reminding anyone with UA via email to upgrade. It will be replaced by GA4 on July 1, 2023 (less than a month from now). The shock to many is that you will […]

I'm working on a new brand for my web design and graphic design business, Schildbach Design. I'm starting with the logo.

This new logo still represents my belief in the use of creativity to enrich everyone's experience on the web and in print, but has a more grounded, mature, and clear message showing "SD" in an contemporary lettermark that I created.
