Is Your Site Responsive?

It may sound like a silly question in this day and age of computer wizardry, but it’s more than a legitimate question. Is the site that your customers land on a responsive one?  It’s an important question to ask because we’ve all landed on sites that we have to move and shape our electronic devise around in order to see what’s on the webpage!  If this sounds like what you put your customers through, then you have an unresponsive site and you need to get it upgraded!

The Problem!

The problem with unresponsive sites is multiple.  First, it inconveniences those that you are looking to communicate with.  It tells them that they aren’t worth the time or money to get your product to them quickly and swiftly.  This is the same problem that many have with the loading time of their website.  Did you know that certain designs for websites will cause them to load slower?  If you’re computers loading slowly, then you’re losing customers, because they wait a couple of seconds and again are off to the next site that will load quickly.  Sending your bounce rate through the roof and your conversion rate down in the cellar.  And since you’re in business to make money and get a viable product out there, this isn’t a good thing.

Another problem is how your business looks.  It’s completely unprofessional to have a landing page or a home page that doesn’t produce the results that your customer is expecting.  If you’re not sure how this works, ask someone to go to your website and then report their thoughts back to you.  Most people are very quick to respond with the truth even if it hurts.  They want to let their voice be heard and if you ask them, then they are going to be quick to tell you.

The Fun Of Spring!

Spring is arguably the most enjoyable of all seasons.  It is after all, the end of one and the beginning of another.  The end of the dog days of winter where frostbit abounds and the beginning of another where the ice is breaking and there are plenty of new babies to be found.  The babies can be anything from horses, dogs, cats and even insects (my least favorite aspect of Spring).

Spring Fun Number 1

It’s time to go outside and have a blast!  This is when you clean off your bicycle from all of the winter dust, make sure the chains are oiled and head for that long awaited ride.  But remember, when you go on that ride, you’ll probably be sore afterwards.  Why?  Because most people have dropped their exercise to just about nothing by the time spring starts rolling around.  Don’t forget, it doesn’t have to be a bicycle.  Walking, running, sports and all that comes with that.

Spring Cleaning 

Spring cleaning is everything from what was of winter, to what will be of spring.  Yes, it may be a little bit early, but if you’re like most people this change takes more than a day or two.  It’s not just about making sure everything is clean and shiny, but about putting the things of winter away (after a good cleaning) and bringing out the things of spring.  I love spring (okay I love most seasons).  I love all the flowers that bloom and the baby’s that are born.  But one of my all time favorite things is to make things that brighten my house and my families lives.  This occurs with making things and making spring come to life in our home.  Consider some of the following designs that you can do to make your home full of joy.

Plan now and you wont regret it later!  It’s the lack of planning that makes you have the challenges that tend to come your way.  So while the end of January is upon us, it’s not to early to begin preparing for spring.  It’s only a month away.
