Has creating product covers got you stumped? Then I have the perfect blog post for you! Hop on over to my site blog to get some ideas on how to create a beautiful cover page for your product.⁣
⁣
Here are some of my top tips:⁣
💛Have clear bold titles⁣
💛Include product images or products in action⁣
💛Use clip art to make your cover pop⁣
💛Limit additional text (include this in a product video or preview)⁣
⁣
All product covers in the blog post can be copied or adapted to suit your branding.

Working with Lindsay was a fantastic experience and I loved building a completely unique site for her - the little light up hover links were such a special touch that tied in so beautifully with her lightbulb branding. It was such fun bringing her vision to life!

Creating a password protected page full of goodies is a wonderful way to get your audience to sign up for your newsletter and offer them something that is exclusively theirs! But, the standard password protected page wording is pretty bleh.⁣
⁣
Customising the wording is super easy with some CSS and I've included the handy step-by-step instructions in a helpful blog post so be sure to check it out! I'd love to see the finished product so send me a DM with your site link so I can see your handy work!

New clip art alert! This cute little Halloween set has just been added to my store.Swipe to see all the elements that are included 👻🎃All my clip art can now be used as moveable pieces without additional licensing 💕

It is absolutely vital that you keep a backup of your site and I recommend backing up your site 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 once a week. ⁣
⁣
A website backup is a copy of EVERYTHING on your website. If your site becomes compromised, hacked or crashes, you then have a copy of it to restore back to its original state.⁣
⁣
It is important to remember that it is not your host's responsibilty to backup your site and only a few offer this service. But never fear - there are a number of backup plugins available that can assist you with this process.⁣
⁣
UpdraftPlus is a great plugin. You can connect it to your GoogleDrive, DropBox or simiilar and automatically save your backups to a folder directly from your Website.⁣
⁣
If your site is ever compormised, you can then just ask your host to delete everything form your site and install WordPress again. Then you would just install the UpdraftPlus plugin again on your site and upload your saved backups directly to your new site.⁣
⁣
If this is too daunting a process for you, I do offer a WordPress maintenance service that does daily backups and super easy site restores for you!⁣

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁?⁣
⁣
WordPress is a type of web builder and is one of the best CMS (content management system) platforms in the world. This is because it makes it very easy to create, build and grow your website. ⁣
⁣
For a website to be online, two things are required. You need a domain name in addition to a web host. Without these two, people won’t be able to find or access your website. You also won’t be able to store your website’s files anywhere. ⁣
⁣
Choosing the right host for you can be tough and you will need to do a lot of your own research. I tend to trust smaller hosts that offer a more one on one support structure with their clients - you will often hear about these sorts of hosts via word of mouth rather than online advertising. And don’t be fooled - just because a company can ad-vertise a lot doesn’t make it trustworthy. ⁣
⁣
With hosting, it is good to remember that you get what you pay for. You may be able to get cheap hosting, but as the old saying goes - buy cheap, buy dear. A cheap host will cost you in down time, poor tech support and a slow site.
