Being deaf/hard of hearing means there is certain information I struggle to access.
Since my business (and let’s face it, my personal life) revolves around being online, having the likes of accurate subtitles/captions and good quality audio is essential for me in order to be able to consume video/audio-based content.
Too many times I have had to cancel listening to a podcast or watching a video within seconds after starting because of terrible audio or lack of captions or transcripts.

“How much does it cost to build a WordPress website?”
This is a question that I get asked quite frequently and unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward.
But rather than use the standard “it depends” answer, let’s see if we can do better than that and give you a clearer estimate on how much it will cost you.
Because even though it really does depend, you still want to make sure that you don’t overspend, minimise the cost where possible, but also make sure that you have a high-quality website that meets a high standard.
And that means less headache in the long-run.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is one of the most important aspects of your online marketing activities for your business and your website.
If you do not take it seriously, you are missing out on a huge amount of traffic and also the opportunity for your audience to find you via search engines.
SEO can sometimes be an over-complicated process and highly technical…if you want it to be.
But you can choose to keep it as a simple yet powerful part of your arsenal without the need to overwhelm yourself.
This page will simply round up the best of SEO tips and advice on this site that can help you to grow your organic search traffic.
For all the overwhelming amount of data that Google Analytics can provide for you, you could argue that you don’t need anything more than what you have already got.
But I’m afraid there is more to GA than just looking at sessions, landing pages and sources of traffic.
That’s OK though, because it’s time to unlock another way to extract even more useful data about your website.
Have you wondered how you can get specific and customised data that suits you instead of using the GA’s default version?
Well you can do that with “Regular Expressions”, which is also known as “RegEx”.

Even though they tend to have a lot less search volume than the broad keywords, did you know that long-tail keywords are more lucrative?
Like “best places to eat in London” vs searching for “restaurants” while in London?
Or “camera” vs “small mirrorless Sony camera”?
Because there is stronger intent when searching with long-tail keywords, your audience will more likely take action as they are specific about what they are looking for.

Even though there is a good chance that you have heard of WordPress, you might not be aware that there are 2 very different WordPress platforms to choose from:
WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
Notice how it ends?
For such a small difference, they are actually very different in terms of how they operate, but the principle is the same – to enable you to have a website and a presence online. But at the same time, there are many questions to ask yourself before deciding which one to choose.

Have you ever wondered what your competitors’ top-performing content based on Google organic search is?
It’s all well and good that you want to focus on your content and get it to perform as high as possible in terms of traffic, engagement and conversion. But sometimes, we need to look at our competitors to see what are they doing.
Some people might think it will be useful to do that to get content ideas, which is true, but there is a lot more to it when you look at the top content of your competitors.
