The Importance of Fonts in Web Design – Do You Have The Right One?

Long before the age of technology, fonts have been evolving. We’ve come a long way since scriptwriting, mainly because our works are no longer in scrolls but anywhere from screens to print ads.

Fonts have changed with our times and the means of which content was presented to us, yet that doesn’t mean all fonts have gone outdated. Some of them outlasted the test of time and are still used today!

Finding that perfect font can often feel like locating a needle in a haystack, however, it’s important to remember that before we dive into that haystack, we need to understand a few of the basics of font pairing.

A bit of history about fonts

Going back to the beginning, it all started with the serif font. The first category of serif fonts were old-style serifs, dating back all the way to the Romans around the 15th to mid 18th century. These serifs had little variation between thick and thin strokes. They also tended to have a stress on the left axis, as well as have serifs that are wedge-shaped.

How to Master The Art of Customer Loyalty Management

Brands and businesses across the Globe look to channelize all their marketing, promotional, and operational endeavors to attain one long-term vision…

To generate an influx of revenue that is well and truly more than the year gone by.

Right at the epicenter of this vision lays the trump-card that more often than not helps brands acquire the revenue they are after. They are popularly known as the customers, and it’s imperative that they are treated well.

Now it’s one thing having existing customers, but something else to keep them around for the longest time to come. And then there is the whole proposition of acquiring new ones altogether. While it’s comparatively more expensive for a brand to achieve the latter, it is just as important.

It’s a hi-tech and competitive world today. Innovation is more than a buzzword and innovators are aplenty. Needless to say, customers have an open buffet of options (brands) to choose from, making them the proverbial boss.

No matter how much attachment one has to a brand, it doesn’t take much to shift base these days. If anything, brands need to work in overdrive to ensure that their existing customers stay loyal to the… Read More

How to Use Keywords in Your Blogging Strategy

Posted by KameronJenkins

Even though blogging has been around for a while, it looks a lot different today than it did in the early 2000s. In those days, people read your blog because they followed it (anyone else have a few old .blogspot blogs floating around out there?) or subscribed to your RSS feed.

Online behavior has changed since then. While some people might stumble onto a blog they like and subscribe to its email list for updates, many people discover blog content through search engines. With more people searching than ever before, it’s a great time for bloggers to explore using keyword research in their content strategy.

This post was written for those that may be new to blogging, as well as those who have been blogging for some time but are just now starting to explore keyword research.

Ready? It’s time to dive into the beginner’s guide to keyword research for bloggers!

What are keywords?

Keywords are the words someone types (or speaks!) into a search engine.

People use search engines for all sorts of things — things like looking up movie times, seeing what the day’s weather will be like, or getting their local pizza place’s number. Every search is a quest for information, and the goal of search engines like Google is to supply the searcher with a satisfying answer as quickly as possible.

What does this mean for you as a blogger? It means that if you want to write for these searchers, you’ll nee… Read More
