Invest in website design and SEO?

Thanks! The streatching wasnt happening earlier but i guess i messed with something and caused that. Ill take a look at it.

How would i enable caching with WP rocket or W3 total cashe? I assume thats a plugin.

Update: Changed max height to 50% instead of 100. seems to have fixed the problem. What are you reffering to when you mention Padding

Looks great! That fixed the padding too, it was just right up against the header border, much better now. And ya just install one of those plugins and activate it. The only annoying thing is when you make changes you might need to go into the plug-in and clear cache. It’ll bring your load times down significantly, as will disabling all plugins that aren’t absolutely essential.

Check out https://gtmetrix.com/ and put your URL in, don’t stress about all the details on there, but if you can get under 1s and close to an A/A rank you’re killing it.

That is a great website to test my website out and it definitely seems i have some optimizing to do :sweat_smile:

Haha, ya… Don’t make yourself crazy, you’re not trying to be Google. It’s a good way to test changes though like the caching. Let me know if you have any questions.

Fiver is Dangerous if you don’t know what to avoid. Be VERY careful with these approaches, a lot of them can get you blacklisted and you won’t show up for anyone.

Sounds like I’ll be doing some YouTube training in web development! It’s definitely not a bad skill to have

Cool this is what I was thinking to do and probably will now if easy to learn. How are you ranking on google with your wordpress site? Apparently googles algorithm recognizes cheap poorly built sites and does not rank them well (like sites built on square space & wix) so hopefully not a problem with wordpress. Great lookin website by the way. :beers:

WordPress can be amazing, or terrible… It’s just a framework really. The top design firms I know of in NY are using WordPress, albeit highly custom themes. I’ve spent years hand coding and doing apps, and I can’t touch the speed and ease of use of WordPress.

My ads are what pops me up. My site ranking on google is a work in process ! Google has a scoring system and it takes a while to curve that score just right to where you show #1 naturally without ads

Hey. I love your site. How much did it run you? who did it?

about $3000 CAD;

that slideshow on your site is the best i’ve ever seen. was it the guys you hired with the idea or yours? either way i’m extremely impressed. for 3000cad it seems worth every penny

My website www.bigbendwashpros.com is on the first page of google after 3 months in a heavily saturated market. Very pleased with footbridge media

i had them manage my google ads once. they made a landing page that was hideous and filled with typos. got one lead first month from a girl that said she didn’t mean to call.

your website seems much better than the experience i had with them however. not sure why mine was so bad

Definitely took some back and forth on design till I got what I wanted, if you know what you want they can build it but if you but if you say build it it may not be great. I couldn’t be more happy with them, While it is a reoccurring expense they manage and host everything and there was no upfront cost to build it

i was told no changes were to be made since the page was “carefully engineered based off past results” this was just the google ad landing page. i told them i didn’t like how it looked and they said unless i need to change my service or other details then they won’t touch it
