There is so much knowledge hidden in books that it’s unbelievable that so few people read them. Books are the cheapest form of education that exists. You can even have access to vast amount of knowledge for free if you go to the library. However, there are many publications that don’t teach much or that are nothing more than elaborated infomercial of another product. Especially if you look in the Business and Self Improvement category. That’s why I decided to help you started and make a list of absolute entrepreneurial gems.

Like most of our everyday life, the celebration of the relationship is increasingly present in the digital reality. For many people, wedding day is one of the most anticipated days in their lives. It’s obvious that we want it to be special, beautiful, romantic and memorable. But it’s also a huge challenge in terms of organization, logistics and finances.

Many studies have confirmed that users (your potential clients!) abandon websites if they take too long to load. Nobody likes slow websites and yet some do nothing to speed their own. It’s kinda like everyone says that you should exercise (at least a bit), but few people actually do it – until they are forced to because of their health ;o) The same could happen to the position of your website in search engines, because our beloved Google announced that from July 2018 Google Search will be using page speed as ranking factor for mobile searches. You better not wait until you drop in the search results and speed up your website today.

I know that finding just the right app for work isn’t easy. Everyone have different needs and funds. There’s also this “enemy of the state” – time. To really look for and test different tools, you need time. Because I know this pain all too well, I’ve decided to share some apps we’re using with Agata. It’s a setup we have as a freelancers and a small team of two.

WordPress revisions (previous versions of posts or pages) are very useful. They saved me many times from a mental break. You know, like you write something, and then everything is gone, and the only thing you can do then is scream “NOOOO!”. They are also very useful when collaborating. If several people edit the content and something breaks, you can restore previous version and … know who to blame ;o) But not everyone needs to have dozens or hundreds of revisions stored in database. With many posts database can get really fat from them. Fortunately there is a way to permanently limit them.

The reality where people use their mobile devices to browse the internet as much as they use their desktops, is no longer the future. It’s our present. This is why user experience and ease of use of our website should be as good on mobile devices as on desktops. Here are a few tips.

Did you know, that smartphone’s keyboard layout adapts to the field type in the contact form? The difference is also visible in desktop browser when the fields are validated. But I think, that you will realise how important it is to choose the right field type, while filling a form on a mobile phone.

Google Maps is one of the most popular services that users use to find how to get from point A to point B. Many of them also have an app installed on the phone.

If you have company address on a website, it’s a good idea to add directions. Ideally as a link where user can click once, because no one have time to search, copy, paste.

I’ve already wrote about when it’s the best to have a template based website. Now it’s time to talk about the one that’s custom designed. So when it’s the best solution? Read on to find out.

Today we have the whole world in our pocket. Our friends, memories, money. We have access to everything at any time. All we need to do is to use our smartphone. Everything important to us that is immaterial we store on very much material devices.
