Mardi Gras has a way of exposing every crack in a business… especially the digital ones. Streets flood, parades reroute traffic, cell signals wobble, and suddenly a perfectly “normal” Tuesday turns into controlled chaos. After doing web and digital work in New Orleans for a long time, one pattern shows up every single Carnival season:...
I have learned over the years that holidays do strange things to people. They change sleep schedules, inbox behavior, patience levels, and search habits in ways that no spreadsheet can fully explain. One minute it is a normal Tuesday, the next minute everyone is looking for last-minute answers while standing in line holding a phone...
Every year, right on schedule, the calendar flips and everything gets louder. Inboxes swell. Notifications multiply like rabbits. Attention spans shrink to the length of a holiday shopping line. Somewhere around mid-November, society silently agrees that time should move faster for absolutely no reason. That is what the holidays do. They change how people think,...
Core Web Vitals. Sounds like something a doctor checks when the nurse tells someone to stop eating processed cheese at midnight. In reality, it’s what Google checks to decide whether a website feels smooth, fast, and stable… or whether it behaves like a shopping cart with a bad wheel wobbling through Rouses on a Saturday....
Every few months Google rolls out another reminder that the internet is not the Wild West anymore.

Those days are long gone. Today Google...
There’s something strangely human about running a business in 2025. A company can build a great product, deliver a flawless service, impress the socks off a customer… and then completely forget to acknowledge the glowing five-star review that customer spent ten minutes crafting like it was a love letter. Just let it sit there. Lonely....
Running a restaurant in New Orleans takes talent, grit, and nerves of steel. There’s the dinner rush, the lunch rush, the sudden influx of tourists who “just want to look at the menu,” and the late-night crowd that wanders in asking if gumbo is “supposed to look like that.” But in all the chaos of...
Ever notice how impatient people have become online? The modern internet user will abandon a slow website faster than a tourist running from a Bourbon Street thunderstorm. Attention spans are shrinking, competition is growing, and Google’s robots are more judgmental than ever. That’s why website performance—especially speed—has become one of the most important factors in...
Let’s be honest: customer reviews can make or break a business faster than a Saints fan can argue over a referee call. People trust them. Search engines trust them. And if used correctly, reviews don’t just sit there looking pretty on Google or Yelp — they actually boost SEO and paid ad campaigns. That’s right,...
After more than two decades of running a web design and marketing company in New Orleans, I’ve seen small business owners try just about everything to get attention. Some of those ideas worked, some didn’t, and a few belonged in the “what were you thinking?” category. One thing that consistently works—when done right—is the humble...
