A blog is a sure fire way of engaging with your users/customers. It gives you a platform to showcase your skills/products and you.
WordPress, Tumblr and Blogger are popular choices for blog platforms. They are all free platforms but we would highly suggest to our clients that WordPress can benefit them the most and is often favoured by web designers.
Our Top Tips for Blogging
1) Use your keywords in the title and introduction. This will automatically engage the reader and a give clear guide as to what you will be talking about. 2) Keep posts around 400-500 words, anything more can mean readers don’t finish or they switch off. 3) Make sure you include an image in the blog and title it. A photo gives the reader a helping hand with visualising your text.
