- Reaching out to existing sites with proposals for improvements
- Strategy consulting as a service
- SiteGround email marketing services
- The design limitations of email marketing builders like SiteGround and Mailchimp
- Trying to stop subscription services that have been auto-renewed
- How your external calls are affected by using Google fonts vs hosting the fonts in the server, and how these differences affect performance optimization
- Sandy has a technique for keeping sites lighter by using dynamic font files during the design phase then substituting static font files once she’s decided which weights she’s going to use
- Use Any Font Plugin
- Readability checker
- Using AI for various aspects of writing content, i.e., writing to the audience
- AIO & GIO optimizations
- Bill and MaryJoy are planning their holiday sale
