You’re probably bored of hearing about the ascendancy of mobile internet use by now. Well, let me bore you a little further: StatCounter Global Stats found that in October 2016, “mobile and tablet devices accounted for 51.3% of internet usage worldwide in October compared to 48.7% by desktop.” The writing is on the wall. Mobile […]
Website building has long been understood to be an activity performed on a desktop computer. The idea that you could build or edit a website from a mobile device would have been regarded as absurd. The thing is, if you’re running a small business, you’re not always going to be at your computer when you […]
In the modern frenzied and fast-paced environment, first impressions are formed quickly and are not easily revised. Nowhere is this truer than in the low-attention-span online universe. Data from 2014 shows that on average, people spend 15 seconds on the websites they visit (and I’d wager that in the years since, average visits are even quicker). […]
In my role as a reviewer, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the useful features of various specific website builders. It occurs to me, though, that I haven’t written anything directed at small business owners explaining why they might want to build a website for their businesses. For the kid just getting out of […]
When you’re running your own small business, you’ve got plenty of issues to occupy your mind. The particulars of your website may not rise to the top of your list of concerns. That being said, you realize it’s something that needs to be done, and for a variety of reasons. Now, you don’t have to […]
Website builders were once spartan affairs, providing little more than a canvas onto which you could plop your best (or your worst) HTML. As the years have rolled by, website builders have emerged from the primordial digital soup, adopting WYSIWYG code-free editing, jumping on the freemium business model, and adding an increasing number of ready-made […]
Blogging isn’t afforded the same cultural cachet it once was. Heralded as the vanguard of popular civic engagement in the retrospectively innocent oughts, blogs have been supplanted by social media as the preferred online means of sharing your thoughts and spilling your guts. As the quality of dialogue on Facebook and Twitter continues to deteriorate, however, one could […]
There was a time when building a website was the province of web designers. If you didn’t have any coding skills, there was really nowhere else to turn. This situation created an exceedingly high barrier to entry for would-be site owners, as web designers don’t come cheap (and if they do, that’s problematic in itself). […]
One page websites have become quite a point of contention in today’s website building landscape. Hailed by some as the future of web design and derided by others as a metastatic blight on the face of the internet, the one page website certainly isn’t for everybody. It’s undeniable, however, that as mobile devices have become the […]
So you’re thinking of launching your own website. You decide to hire a web designer for the job. So far so good. The thing is, you have an expansive idea of what you’d like your website to be. You want an online store, a music player, a newsletter signup tool, live chat, and possibly some […]
