By Brett Thomas, Owner of Rhino Web Studios in New Orleans, LA Let’s be honest. Building your own website sounds like a good idea. It’s cheap. It’s fast. It’s marketed like it’s as easy as ordering a pizza. “No coding skills required!” they shout. “Launch your business in minutes!” they promise. But somewhere between uploading your...
Let’s take a trip down memory lane—back to the simpler times of 2008. Websites had Flash intros that sounded like slot machines. Phones had keyboards. People were still using Internet Explorer on purpose. And when someone said “mobile site,” they meant a stripped-down Frankenstein version of the “real” website… one that looked like a 1997...
By Brett Thomas, Owner of Rhino Web Studios, New Orleans, LA Let’s get this out of the way: most websites aren’t broken because they’re ugly. They’re broken because they don’t do their job. And the job of a homepage is not to “look good.” It’s to turn visitors into leads, customers, calls, appointments, or at...
Let’s be real for a second: nobody is sitting around twiddling their thumbs, patiently waiting for a website to load anymore. This isn’t 1998. Dial-up is dead, attention spans are shorter than ever, and if a website doesn’t load in a couple of seconds, people will bounce faster than a bad check in a gas...
Let’s talk keywords—those magical little phrases that can either launch your business into Google stardom or leave you floating around on page 47 with the other forgotten websites selling lava lamps and hand-knit hamster hats. Here’s the deal: picking the right keywords isn’t just about brainstorming words that “sound good.” It’s about reading the minds...
Let’s be honest—everyone loves a bargain. Dollar tacos? Yes, please. Discount crawfish in February? Count me in. But when it comes to the face of your business—your website—cutting corners can cost more than just a few bucks. It can cost leads, credibility, and more headaches than a Mardi Gras hangover. I’ve been in this game...
Local SEO might sound like something out of a tech wizard’s playbook, but it’s really just about making sure people in your area can find your business when they need it. The goal is simple: show up in Google search results when potential customers are looking for your services. The execution, however? That’s where things...
A landing page is like a first date. You want to make a good impression, keep things engaging, and—most importantly—avoid turning people off within the first five seconds. If visitors are hitting your page only to bounce faster than a kid who just realized the ice cream machine is broken, something isn’t working. Optimizing a...
So, you’ve built a shiny new website, and you’re eagerly waiting for the magic to happen. Traffic’s supposed to come pouring in, right? Your social media posts should be blowing up, and your email campaigns should lead to a flood of customers eager to spend their hard-earned cash on your products or services. But, after...
As a website owner, you’ve probably heard the term “SEO” thrown around like it’s the holy grail of online success. It’s that mystical thing that makes your website show up in search results and brings in all those magical clicks. But just like any good wizard’s spell, SEO requires the right ingredients and a little...
