Parallax scrolling has become a popular design trend, providing a visually engaging experience that adds depth and movement to websites. If you’re looking to create a modern, dynamic website, choosing a WordPress theme with parallax features can help you achieve that. Parallax themes use background images or elements that move at different speeds as users scroll, creating a sense of immersion and interactivity.
Let me tell you why FAQ plugins will make your life easier…
If you’re running any kind of business, you probably get a lot of questions from your customers. And while you’ll certainly get the occasional oddball question, I’m willing to bet that you mostly get asked the same questions repeatedly. As a freelancer, I experience this firsthand when clients inquire about my services.
Are you a plumber or service industry professional wondering how potential customers find you? In the past, you might have relied on a listing in the Yellow Pages or word of mouth from satisfied clients. While these methods can still bring in business, they are no longer the most effective way to boost your clientele and ensure people seek your services.
Search engines drive a significant portion of web traffic to most websites, and ranking well can make all the difference in visibility. When someone searches for a keyword or phrase, the results appear instantly, and you want your website to be among the first they see—not buried on page 10, where few will venture.
There are a ton of WordPress gallery plugins out there. By my last count, the number is somewhere between one to two million (slight hyperbole), which means the stakes are high when it comes to choosing a gallery solution for your WordPress site.
In my Modula Gallery review, I’ll try to lessen those stakes by giving you a peek at a neat freemium gallery plugin that offers everything from filterable categories to gorgeous styling effects. All for one low price.
Repurposing old blog content is the new black, and slideshows are one incredibly popular way to do this. Slideshows are a creative approach to visually sharing top post material that you want to recycle into a new format to get the most out of your valuable content. But how do you get a presentation onto your website? One simple way to do this is by using Google Slides, a powerful tool in Google’s open-source office suite. Want to learn how to add a Google Slides presentation to your website? Get ready, here we go!
Over the years, I’ve been asked hundreds of times to recommend a preferred hosting provider for WordPress websites. In the past, I based my recommendations on a variety of factors, including price, ease of setup, load-times, and feedback I received from others in the industry.
Often, I would point budget-conscious customers toward one of the big shared hosting providers. For more established companies, I’d opt for Media Temple’s DV offerings where nimbusthemes.com had been hosted for years.
Unfortunately, during this last year I began running into some issues with my DV accounts at Media Temple. Some of these may have been caused by our code (and I’d be the first to admit that!), but others were quite obviously the failings of the MT platform.
Either way, I found myself endlessly calling or instant messaging with a support community that treated my issues as though they were a great inconvenience. It was one of the worst support experiences I can remember, and this from a company we had touted to our customer base and social community for many years. This was a disheartening and frustrating turn of events, I can assure you.
So, with the start of the new year, I took a plunge into managed WordPress hosting world and moved all our theme foundry websites over to Kinsta.
It was the best business decision I have ever made.
There are a number of reasons why you may want to prevent search engines from indexing your website. You could want to stay away from web crawlers temporarily (if you’re working on developing your site in a live environment) or permanently (if your WordPress website is actually a private blog).
Thankfully, there are a number of ways you can prevent search engines from indexing your site from adding code snippets to the robots.txt file to using plugins and configuring your Google Search Console settings.
The definition of urban has taken on many connotations over the years. From its basic definition: of, relating to, or designating a city or town; living in a city, or characteristic of or accustomed to cities (aka citified), to its more secondary meaning: dominated by a racial minority, there is a lot of confusion out there as to what exactly it means to be urban.
Adding video to your blog or website is nothing new. In fact, people have been adding videos to their websites for some time now – long before YouTube became a hit, social media took the world by storm, and online streaming became a way of life for the majority of people around the world.
However, as video equipment has become more accessible and affordable, people have become more comfortable in front of the camera, and site visitors have immersed themselves in consuming video every single day, there is no denying that adding video to your website is more popular than ever.
Especially for those looking to market their brand in a different way, attract a new type of audience, and step ahead of the competition.
The WordPress login page is the gateway to your WordPress site. It’s where you gain access to your site, where your site’s users will gain entry (if you make your site public), and where some hackers will attempt to brute force their way into your site.
All that to say – for such a simple page, there’s a lot going on!
In this post, I’m going to dig into everything about the hard-working WordPress login page.
Content consumption has always been challenging. And with a staggering 2 million blog posts written every day, it’s even more so. Staying up to date with your favorite blogs and news sources can be difficult – especially if you’re doing it manually.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) technology makes it easier to keep track of the latest content by notifying you whenever your favorite sites publish a new post. Instead of visiting every website repeatedly, you can simply open up your RSS reader and have the feed delivered to you. And offering this functionality on your WordPress website can get you a great deal of loyal readers.
Photography has always been crucial to a well-designed website. However, with so many tacky stock images available, it can be tough to find imagery that enhances your website.
Fortunately, there are plenty of websites out there offering website owners free (and beautiful looking) stock images. Forget the days of adding a cheesy-looking clip art image or a commonly used stock image on your website. Some of the free images I am going to share with you are so stunning, you may find it hard to believe they are free.
There’s a reason WordPress is the most popular content management system. Its powerful feature set and flexibility separates it from other blogging platforms. And one such feature is the ability to create, manage, and display custom post types.
Custom post types are special posts in WordPress that let you define a new structure for different types of content. They make it easier for you to upload content and let you fine tune how it appears on your site’s front-end.
After many late nights and early mornings, fuelled by buckets of caffeine, you’re finally finished your first product.
But, you’ve got questions. Chiefly, how do you make your product into a success that validates all the time and effort you’ve put into creating it?
With a product launch.
You’ve heard the message – Pinterest is great for blog traffic. You’ve got an account for your blog and you’re curating content and making pins for all your own posts.
You’ve even invested in a Pinterest scheduler like Tailwind or Board Booster and it’s pinning on your behalf day and night.
But you check your Google Analytics and… crickets.
Why aren’t you getting the results everyone raves about?
What’s wrong?
Is it you? Maybe you’re not cut out for this Pinterest thing?
It’s not you – it’s your pins.
Why do some prospects stay and others leave? How can you measure your site’s effectiveness and the user engagement it generates? The answer to all these questions can be summed up in two words: A/B testing.
In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about A/B testing WordPress pages. We’ll also show you how you can take a practical, scientific approach to A/B testing in WordPress. And finally, we’ll wrap up with a section on some of the best plugins and tools you can use to A/B test your website.
Let’s get started!
You’re probably already using Google Analytics to track all kinds of traffic-related metrics like page views, bounce rates, and average session duration. What if you could kick things up a notch and track how your visitors interact with on-page elements like buttons, forms, and embedded videos?
What’s the first thing your new subscribers see from you? Is it a rousing red-carpet welcome to your tribe or is it the lukewarm equivalent of a cold fish handshake?
The benefit of a welcome email and a welcome email series is clear.
In this post, I’m going to dig into one of the most perplexing questions WordPress beginners grapple with: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org. If you’re struggling with what the difference between these two is, there’s one thing for sure:
You’re not alone.
