This is a site we built for a Liverpool construction company. Their old site hadn't been updated in years and was terrible on mobile devices. We also optimised it with some targeted SEO for the specific areas they specialise in. It’s been a win for everyone involved.

Launched this last week for a New York Coffee Coffee Roasting company. Love the simplicity of it which is what they wanted and we delivered.

We don’t often showcase our work but plan to do more so here is a Australian client for whom we built and designed a logistics site.

I recently gave myself a kick up the butt about being more consistent with my social media. I've started reusing tools like Buffer and Canva, along with a huge range of free tools that make it easier to stay active with just a small amount of effort.

As business owners, it's easy to get caught up in showcasing things that make us look good. But it's just as important, if not more so, to include useful information that genuinely helps your visitors.

Focus on adding valuable content that addresses your customers' needs and questions. Share helpful tips, guides, and insights that can make a real difference for them. It's all about providing value and building trust, rather than just promoting ourselves.

As business owners, people expect us to be active and sharing content regularly. It's not just about posting for the sake of it but doing so in a way that feels genuine and natural.

Make sure your posts are clean and organic, blending business updates with helpful tips and engaging content. It's all about striking that balance between staying visible and being authentic. Consistency is key, but authenticity is just as important.

Use high-quality images. Clear, professional photos make a big impact and keep your site looking sharp.

Stick to a palette of 2-3 colours to keep your site visually appealing.

Ensure your site looks great on all devices as more users are browsing on their phones.

Make my logo bigger is something design folks hear all the time

Make My Logo Bigger? - Website Design Cork The request “make the logo bigger” has become a bit of a “meme” in the design and advertising world. It highlights how often clients ask to increase their logo’s size on things like ads, websites, and product packaging. While it’s totally understandable for companies to want their logos ...

The Trading Online Voucher (TOV) grant is a valuable resource for small businesses seeking to enhance their online presence or establish one for the first time. This grant, which is still very much active, offers up to €2,500 in matched funding to help cover the costs associated with developing or upgrading a website and implementing digital marketing strategies.

The intention behind this grant is to encourage small businesses to adopt digital tools and techniques that can lead to growth and more robust engagement with more customers online.

Applying for the TOV grant not only provides financial assistance but also includes training sessions to maximize the impact of your online strategies. It's an opportunity for businesses to gain significant support in undertaking digital enhancements, ensuring they can compete more effectively in the digital marketplace. If you think your business could benefit from such an upgrade, exploring the TOV grant could be a crucial step forward.

People expect regular advertising from businesses, and they understand that promoting your products or services is essential. However, it's important to strike a balance that not only promotes but also informs and advises.

10 Social Media Copywriting Tips With Examples

I have been reading Copyblogger for years and nearly all their content writers are excellent and content to match.

Social Media Copywriting: 10 Secrets Influencers Use I studied the social media posts from some of the biggest influencers on LinkedIn and Twitter. Here are the tips they use.

The first step for any company on their social journey is to set up a content message calendar. This may sound fancy and complicated, but for us, we simply set up a Google Sheet and dump 15-20 topics into it. Then we add columns for the social platforms, covering the visuals and the text, as well as how often they want to post. The hard work is maintaining the tempo and keeping that content fresh and relevant.
