Optimise Your Images

Without a doubt, using images on your website is a good thing. There are people who just want text, facts and figures but then there are people like myself, who enjoy the visual representation of things. Using an image can enhance the user experience of your content and should be used.  However, accordingly to Google, images […]

Spam Spam, whilst it is a lunch meat, tends to be used as a catch all phrase that means unwanted or junk email or messages that are unwanted (think […]
