Branding
I just advised a customer to use an AI generated logo from Looka and we both liked the finished result see it here on the Beachlife Floors new website.
Web Design
Since 1999 I have been making SEO friendly websites since 1999, well they weren’t really focused on SEO till about 2002 when the penny dropped, SEO is free advertising like nothing ever before it.
Marketing
Web marketing in this case means setting up Google Ads campaigns which I have been doing for a long time. I think Google Ads for small (micro) small business is a problem that I can’t charge for all of my time because if I did the campaigns wouldn’t be cost effective. It takes a long time to do a good campaign and a lot of tweaking is required.
WordPress using Divi
I starting using Divi as my favourite theme (and builder) a few years ago and now I am pretty much sold on using Divi for all of my websites. It is pretty difficult to learn but the versatility and support is excellent.
