Phishing Emails

A message to my clients: Thank you for being a valued client! I want to make you aware of a phishing email that has recently been sent to a small number of my website clients.

Sage / Salvia Presentation

This presentation below was for a Sage/Salvia Herb Study presentation I did with the Herb Society of America last year. I always grew Culinary Sage in my garden, but since I research and designed this presentation I have attained seeds from our local Front Range Wild Ones seed swaps and have started to plant some of our native Sages including Salvia Azurea in our garden and at my community garden. I'm hooked on these gorgeous and aromatic plants! I am also excited to do anot

Wix's Free Website Plan

Did you know that Wix offers a free plan that is free forever unless you delete your account or website? What’s great is that the free plan has all the same tools so you can easily edit/add images over time, it just has a little branding on the top (see the bar at the top of the example free Wix website above), and it won’t be tied to a custom domain. The only thing is that on the free plans there is limited storage (500MB of storage) so you may need to scale back your imag

SEO: Getting Websites into AI Resuts

I’m not exactly thrilled that AI platforms can mine the best content from our websites to power their own platforms while driving less traffic back to us, but if your content doesn’t appear in those AI results at all, your visibility will drop even more. Even though it seems unfair that AI tools pull valuable content from our websites and reduce the clicks we get, there’s also a real downside if your content isn’t represented in those AI responses, because your website's visi

Restaurant Menu Designer

If your restaurant needs a beautiful menu designed, work with a restaurant menu graphic designer like myself. While Canva and some online restaurant menu designers can create menus, it's hard to get everything exactly the way you want it in these programs and often it is difficult to export into a printable and alternative resolution sizes needed, or to rework the menu for different uses (such as a wider menu on a HDTV screen, such as 3840 x 2160 pixels. ) Reach out for a men

How to link pages to menu in Wix

How to link pages to menu in Wix: Adding Page to Menu in two different places To add any page to your Wix menu more than once, just use the "Link" option instead of trying to add the page directly. Watch video above where I walk through these steps, or see screenshot below. Once you add the "Link" to the menu, then you can copy and paste the link to your specific page (I navigate to the page in a different window/tab to copy the URL to ensure it's working).

Book Designer Gripe: Soft Touch Covers

As a book designer and avid reader, I have a gripe about "soft touch" matte lamination – whenever I read books with this type of finish on the cover, it feels like the cover is waxy or oily, and consequently it feels dirty to me. I was lended a practically brand new book from a gardening friend, above, and I took this book with me on an airplane, and the whole time I read it I felt like I was getting grime on my hands, in an already pretty grimy place (the airport and airpla
