We "Upendo" to Write for You!

How your products look online is super-important. The first thing that most eCommerce merchants do is establish a style - what kind of background you use, how much exposure, whether the products are shown by themselves, or displayed in context as "lifestyle" images. All that is important for the consistency of your brand and the look of your website theme. Those are the more subjective aspects of product photography.

If you're someone who manages a website and especially if you manage the content on that website, this article is for you. Images are way too easy to come by these days. Whether you're taking them yourself or pulling them from a stock photo site. As a result, some websites suffer from slower page load times than are necessary. Here are some pro-tips to help you avoid these issues.

Our first session at DNN Summit 2021 this year was a short introduction to search engine optimization (SEO) and then a deeper dive on how to manage the Robots.txt file in your DNN website. Management of this critical SEO file is easier than ever on DNN 9.8 and newer. This blog post is a follow-up to provide resources for the event attendees.

Our second and final session at DNN Summit 2021 was about upgrading DNN. After having upgraded thousands of DNN websites over the past 18 years, this session is the culmination of everything I've learned over that period of time. Most of the issues we run into tend to be completely avoidable.

We try to have a contest for any event we're involved in. It helps add another level of fun, and in the case of DNN, it helps us to drive some more community engagement. We're here to not only help promote the software that still makes up the core of our business, but also to keep things fun and light-hearted.

We're nearing a year now that we've all been in various stages of unrest and lockdown in our respective states and cities. With us all being separated, places closed, and looking at our homes and belongings, it's no wonder that e-commerce has grown at such leaps and bounds through 2020. There was one glaring mistake that I kept running into, though, regardless of the size of the vendor.

Surprisingly, a lot of it continues to be relevant even today. With all of that in mind, it still catches me off guard when avoidable issues are in a store. In this case, we're going to talk about product images.

Squarespace has been gaining traction ever since it was first released, and for good reason. It's hands-down one of the best options for any new company to launch their first website. You don't need to be technical to create and manage your website. Anyone with any level of proficiency with a web browser can be a web hero.

Support can be called different things, including maintenance.  When using software, many people opt to not buy the optional support provided. However, there are many important reasons why one should not ignore purchasing a software support plan. 

It takes a lot of effort and time to develop a website for your business, especially for non-tech savvy folks. But soon you realize that your website is not generating enough traffic or business as expected. Have you ever wondered why?
