Three ways running a business is like riding a Fer

Three ways running a business is like riding a Ferris Wheel:
🎡: It’s inevitable that somebody else has been in the same position that you now find yourself in. That’s actually pretty great because then you can talk to them about how they dealt with whatever it is you’re dealing with, whether it’s a sudden influx of customers or a big price increase from a supplier.
🎡: It can often feel like you are just riding around in circles but the good thing is that if your Ferris wheel/business is working pretty well you won’t stay at the bottom for long. There will be times when your business is at a high and times when it is at a low, but it won’t necessarily stay in either place. (If you get truly stuck at the very bottom, well the most reasonable thing to do is to get out. Find another ride!)
🎡: Some people love a Ferris wheel and other people really don’t. When you run your own business you can choose who rides with you. Try to select people, whether staff or clients, that want to go along for the ride. It’s hard to have fun if somebody is screaming in terror the whole time.

Everybody’s website is a work in progress, including ours. No really, we are smack in the middle of tweaking and optimizing everything mentioned here.

So don’t beat yourself up if you haven’t done some of these things.

Just schedule a little bit of time every day to work on them or send us a message because we can help!
🤳
Why care about mobile optimization? That’s where most people interact with your website. You’re very likely reading this on a mobile device right now.
🤳
Mobile optimization is not just about things looking pretty, it’s about making your information accessible to all kinds of people. People of all ages and people of all abilities. People with sight or hearing challenges.
🤳
It’s one reason we go so hard for left justified text. Center justified looks pretty but it is almost impossible to read.

The reason is because your eye has to hunt for the beginning of each line. You can’t skim center justified text and it is a lot more work for readers.
🤳
there are other must haves for mobile, including a clickable address if you want people to actually show up on your doorstep. These are some low hanging fruit and some mobile optimization aspects that can really make a difference to website visitors but that most people don’t think about in relation to Mobile.

Flower break! This farfugium should not be blooming right now but is! Perhaps a metaphor? Bloom when you want?
