The Perfect Landing Page?

March 25, 2013

Landing pages matter. A lot. Any company that has anything to sell or offer a customer it can mean the difference between a successful business and a failed one. Why? Because landing pages provide opportunities for conversion and if you aren’t converting potential customers into real customers then you fail. Period. I am not the best student of landing page psychology and design/development namely because I generally choose to ship products and then figure out the marketing later – this works for me but I’ll be the first to admit that I have a lot that I can learn. I […]

The other day I wrote an article about the upcoming release of WordPress 3.6 beta, which I’m pretty excited about. Among the various topics covered was the release of Twenty Thirteen. Well today I’d like to dive deeper into that release and ask some questions about the philosophy of not allowing backwards compatibility.

Why Gallery Thumbnail Dimensions Matter

It was not until I became more familiar with WordPress and its flexibility did I realize how much dimensions matter. There are thousands, if not millions, of WordPress users that have the most popular WordPress gallery plugin installed. Countless users have posted in the forum that they are not happy with the look of their thumbnail galleries. In the end, though, it comes down to styling. By default, NextGEN Gallery creates 100×75 pixel thumbnails. While that is good for some, it’s boring to others. More specifically, creatives like photographers and graphic designers.

Fix My WP was submitted to us for news the same day we covered Fantasktic, another WordPress support site.  Coincidence?  I think not. Both sites offer one-time support (Fatasktic just added a monthly support option), albeit for very different prices.  Fantasktic charges an almost flat fee of $99, which is great.  Fix My WP on the other hand charges a truly crazy flat rate of $30! I almost don’t know what to do with this.  $30, really?  It kind of scares me that they would charge so little.  I didn’t intend for this article to become a comparison article but […]

This past week has been an absolute blur – busyness hit an all-time high today as I had a keynote at a conference early in the morning, my daughter’s soccer game, and 3 back-to-back-to-back birthday parties and then my wife had a girl’s night out while I took care of the kids. Whew. I’m drained. But it’s a “good” type of drained, you know? Hope you’re having a great weekend yourself. With that, here’s your Weekend WordPress Roundup:

It’s Friday, Friday got to get down on Friday! I have some new plugins and theme to share with you on today’s roundup. If you use WooCommerce for you eCommerce solution on your site, and you ship things, you might want to check out WooCommerce DYMO Print. I imagine it could save some folks quite a bit of time on printing out address labels for shipping. Anything else look interesting to you?
