Are you creative? 

I pose this question to you for reflection.

I have my own opinion about it. 

If you are alive you are creative. 

If you are in business you are creative.

The old paradigm of our society tells us that creative people make art and then that art gets sold or hung in a gallery. It tells us that only some people have the “right stuff” to be an artist and that if our creative output doesn’t look like what we see in a gallery, that we aren’t creative and we should be an accountant or something. 

That is all a big fat lie. 

Every cup of tea, every meal, every doodle while we’re on the phone and especially your business is a creative act. 

Creativity is to create something. To create something is to bring something into the world that wasn’t there before. 

So yes: you are creative. The small ways like meals and tea and the large ways, like a business or your art.

If you prefer to listen, I have a little love to share on this podcast too:

What do you think? 
Are you creative?

I was helping Nic Bathurst of Naturally Nic today to fix up her 404 page and realised that you might like this too! 

Do you have a WordPress website with Divi theme? 
If yes – then did you know you can customise the 404 page? 

Why bother? 
The 404 page is usually a bit boring and i think it’s a cool opportunity to strengthen your brand and connect with people. You can help them and send them back on track with a few nice customised features on your 404 page. 

Here’s the turorial video:

Got any questions?
Do you edit your own website? 

Today I wanted to talk about homepage landing page, the page that people land on when they come to your website and sales page.

These terms get so confusing.

I’m also going to go into detail about what I think a homepage would include.

I’m hoping to clarify, simplify and make this understandable.

I made a very short podcast episode about it yesterday, and I was incredibly aware that I was maybe muddying the water even more. I thought it would work better if I had physical tangible examples to show you about the differences. So that’s the purpose of today’s video.

To wrap it up, I’d say

• A homepage is generally a visualization of your navigation. It might have little tidbits from all the pages, but it’s not very substantial on its own. It’s more just like a showcase.
  The page where people land, which WordPress calls, your homepage is controlled by the “customized” bar and can be any page you want.
• A landing page is a page that typically doesn’t have navigation, or footer links, and the only links on that page are to buy. It may or may not be in your navigation. It might be a standalone page.
• A sales page is simply a page where you are selling something. It could be a landing page, but it isn’t necessarily a landing page, it can still have the navigation and footer. It’s just a page where you’re selling something.

Did that help? Please let me know if you have other questions about this so I can get it clearer 🙂
