Simple Website Design: 3 Reasons Why Clean Design Makes Sense

March 31, 2014 by Seamus Anthony Leave a Comment

Simple website design is better and you know it. Here’s 3 reasons why your gut instinct to go for a simple, clean website design is spot on.

#1 – Simple Website Designs Let The Content Take Centre Stage

Remember a few years ago when every website you saw was full of flashy (Flash) graphics and big round graded design elements like menu items, columns and buttons? The trouble with these designs was that the designers were letting their egos get in the way. Nobody cares about a button. Nobody goes to a website to see the awesome way that the flash animation does the jive-bunny. People go to your website because they want to something, and by “something” I don’t mean a sweet website template. I mean content.

What Do WordPress Themes & Trampolines Have In Common?

March 28, 2014 by Seamus Anthony 2 Comments

A couple of years ago my wife and I went looking online for a trampoline and were amazed to discover how inexpensive they were to buy.

Back when I was a kid (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth) the kid who had a trampoline in his back garden was clearly the son of royalty because those suckers were handmade locally and cost a bomb. Now of course, they are made super-cheaply offshore and you can buy them direct from a website to your door. We were chuffed that day to buy our little princess a ginormous, state-of-the-art tramp for a paltry $250 delivered.

It arrived in time for Christmas, in all its flat-packed glory, and one day between quitting work for the day and dinner time, I decided to “just go out there and quickly put up the trampoline”.

What a joke. [Read more…]

The Sad Truth About Google & SEO (And Why You Still Need An Awesome Website Anyway)

March 27, 2014 by Seamus Anthony Leave a Comment

Lots of businesses want a website primarily to get found on Google. And it’s true, people are searching Google for what you do and if you don’t have a website, nobody is ever going to find you. That’s where SEO guys like me can help. And in the early days of the Internet (you know, 6 or 7 years ago!) SEO was a “Magic Bullet Solution to Marketing”.

But the sad truth about SEO as a “Magic Bullet Solution To Marketing”?

It’s probably too late for you.

Seriously, I don’t mean to be a bummer but the SEO horse has pretty much bolted for most industry verticals in most areas.

Having said that, there is still hope – so read on…

How To Rank In Google Instantly

March 25, 2014 by Seamus Anthony

Oh God – that sounds EXACTLY like the kind of snake-oil salesman headline we should all run away from, doesn’t it? But actually this is a pretty straight up technique that works if the keyword (or phrase) you want to get found for in Google is not super-competitive. I just did it twenty minutes ago and thought I would share it with the world … cos I am such a nice guy.
