MOST NOTABLE BENEFITS OF USING WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN

MOST NOTABLE BENEFITS OF USING WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Remember the time when you or a friend wanted to start a blog back in high school? Blogs had only hit the internet back when I was in high school and everyone, writer or not, suddenly seemed to have an opinion on sports, fashion, food, life, and what not! The best way to make those opinions known to a wider audience was blogs. Everyone wanted to have one!

Thanks to WordPress, everyone got their fair share of blogging. No kidding. WordPress started in 2003 and took blogging to a whole new level of awesomeness. Everyone back in the day was totally flattered by WordPress’ default blog themes and the customization they allowed.

WordPress has done it, yet again. This time for websites! Designing a website has never been easier. Branding Agency, Dubai based e-shops, professional web development service providers, and many more businesses turn to WordPress to get an online presence and market their products. WordPress is by far the smoothest of all content management systems. It has upheld its good name all these years. Here’s how they are pulling it off....

70 New Brilliant Examples of Single Page Website Design

70 New Brilliant Examples of Single Page Website Design | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

This year innovation is single-page websites. Actually, this kind of web design has been seeing during a couple of last years too, but in 2015 this trend picks up speed and strengthens its position in the Web community.


The very first thing I love the Web for is its unceasing evolution. Year after year, the new tools and solutions appear, and others fade out. It was Flash to burst in 1996, and what now? Is it popular and much in use today? The drag-and-drop interface became widespread in 2008, yet it is called-for and has a promising future.


Single page design is a hot trend these days. Even though this is not a common trend to follow but still as the new design styles come up, and as more and more designers notice them and make use of them in their work, this kind of trends emerge....

8 Easy Ways To Speed Up WordPress

8 Easy Ways To Speed Up WordPress | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
If your website takes too long to load, it is costing you money.

That’s a fact.

Studies have shown that just a 1 second delay in loading time can cause a 7% loss of conversions.

Think about it like this:

If your website pulled in just under $3,300 per day, 1 second delay in loading time could be costing you over $90,000 per year.

3 seconds would be getting close to a loss of $300,000 per year.

Top 15 Free WordPress Themes Released in 2014 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Looking back on the theme landscape of 2014, a clear design trend emerged that highlights WordPress’ roots as a blogging platform. Minimalist, content-centric themes took center stage in the official WordPress Themes Directory, outpacing their more visually-bloated commercial counterparts.


This past year saw a major renaissance in themes for the personal blogger, particularly designs that showcase large, featured images. Many theme designers opted to hide navigation menus and sidebars behind a slideout menu, which also works well for mobile displays.


WordPress’ newest default theme, Twenty Fifteen, is the culmination of this trend towards simplicity. The vast majority of our top picks from 2014 were designed for personal blogs....
