Big career milestone this week for! I presented a Big career milestone this week for! I presented a workshop at this year’s @nlowe_org Annual Conference to help women entrepreneurs dip their toes into email marketing.

Are you making this mistake on your website? 🤯 Are you making this mistake on your website? 🤯
If you’re uploading images on your website in full resolution — I’m talking about images that are MASSIVE — then this is your call to action to start optimizing those pics! 

The biggest mistake I see DIYers make is that they don’t edit the dimensions and file size of their images before they upload them to their website. 

Images that you’re downloading from your phone or from free stock image sites like Unsplash and Pixels are huge. Their dimensions and file size are meant for large print use… not for viewing on your cellphone. 
So those images need to be resized and compressed so they load quickly on your website. 

Having small image sizes that are less than 500kb in size will help your pages load quickly and will help your SEO ranking as Google favours sites with fast loading speeds. 
Check out sites like iloveimg.com or imageresizer.com to make the process even easier. All you need to do is upload your image and it will do the rest. 

This is something you can do to the images already on your website too. 

Wordpress users can download a free app like EWWW Image Optimizer or Smush to automate the image compression process.

🛑 STOP USING FREE EMAILS TO RUN YOUR BIZ!🛑

If you still use a free gmail or hotmail email address to run your small business —
I’m talking emails like goodcheerdesign@gmail.com or yourbizname@hotmail.com — this is the time to finally set up that professional business email account! 
These emails end in “yourbusinessdomain.com” and can be set up in as little as 20 minutes. 
While free email addresses are great when you’re first starting up, they are free for a reason.
If you operate an e-commerce brand, most of your emails are likely ending up in spam folders if you’re using a free email account

With a business email address, you get 
* increased deliverability (emails will end up in inboxes instead of spam folders)
* Instant trust (paid emails = authentic + professional)
* Help developing brand recognition
* Instant verification when setting up your Google Business Account
All You need is 
* To own a domain name
* The ability to login to your domain account (we set those up last week)
Google Workspace accounts also give you a unified online storage, collaborative document and spreadsheet editing, unlimited virtual meetings, biz calendar and so much more to help you run your small biz.

This is beneficial because:
✨ You won’t lose web traffic if they use the wrong domain
✨ Will help increase web traffic

LAST LAUNCH OF 2022! I had so much fun designing t LAST LAUNCH OF 2022! I had so much fun designing this site for the team at The Skincare Studio here in St. John's, NL. 
The Skincare Studio is a dermatology and clinical trial research centre and my first official foray into the world of Wordpress design for the medical world. It was so nice to work with a team that knew their content inside and out and trusted me to present it to their world in a way that was easy to navigate and understand. 
This custom Wordpress website has a focus on contact information, communication and reaching individuals in the medical field. 
Thank you so much for trusting me to design your site! I look forward to working with you in the future to keep your website running smoothly!

So excited for this launch with @ironrockbrewingco So excited for this launch with @ironrockbrewingco 🍻
While this is a bit of a one-off for me and proves I don't only just work with women business owners, it speaks to my passion for craft beer and the great things that the owners and staff of Iron Rock Brewing in Labrador are doing. 
It's truly such a pleasure to work with anyone in this industry and especially with a company that has such a clear vision for their brand and has so much fun bringing it to life. 
I am so grateful I had a chance to work with such amazing brand collateral to bring this website to life. It's a true testament to how great their beer ❤️
This Wordpress site is complete with:
✦ Custom post types for unique beer listings
✦ Custom post filtering
✦ @brewninjaapp integration for retail map
✦ Event booking form

LAUNCH ALERT! 🚨 Can this AirBnB get any more l LAUNCH ALERT! 🚨
Can this AirBnB get any more luxurious? I don't think so! @the_edgewater is seriously the most gorgeous rental property! 
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to build this Wordpress website and work with owner Nadine Harding again (psst. she also owns @theivorysuite! #killingit) Working with gorgeous photos by @dronenl made this a dream project to work on.
HOT TIP! It's important for AirBnB properties to have their own website to start building brand awareness, trust and credibility.
Owning a domain, setting up branded email addresses and a custom website are all must-dos for AirBnB owners that really want to stand apart from the crowd!
I have packages available for AirBnB owners who are ready to invest in their online presence! DM me for more info!
