Fixing AI Generated Logos
Lately, several new clients have asked me to fix or polish AI-generated logos so they can use them professionally. In several cases, potential clients used AI to create a logo based on their ideas, but quickly realized that the AI-generated logo concepts didn’t fully match their vision or wasn’t production-ready due to low resolution. That’s when they reached out for help. Sure, AI can generate something that looks like a logo. But looking like a logo and functioning as one a

Wix Websites - Allowing Indexing of PDFs
I just learned this – uploaded pdfs are not indexed automatically on Wix websites! To activate indexing on a PDF, the only way I've found is to link to a PDF from a button, image or text link in the classic Wix editor. See this link in the screenshot below, it says: "Show this PDF in search results" link in the link editor box. I'm not sure if there is any other way to do this without adding a button or other link to it in the main page editor (a text/image/button link in t

Wix Events Spacing - Ribbons
If you are using the Wix Events widget to display events on your website pages, you may find that there is a spacing issue with the Ribbons that appear above each event card in the Wix Events list. The Ribbons' spacing makes it hard for the user to tell which event the ribbon is tied to, the one above or the one below. This happens with all of the Wix Event Ribbons including the Sold Out Ribbon, RSVP Closed Ribbon, Join Waitlist Ribbon, Membership Ribbon, and Multiple Dates

Website Mockup Creator
As an experienced Wix Website Designer, I have found some great tools for quickly creating Mockups of website designs across multiple platforms. July 2026 Update: I found another mockup creator called Multi Device Website Mockup Generator that is working better for creating mockups without distortion, though the mobile view isn't accurate... but still another good tool for creating some quick mockups. Good thing for Photoshop so I can adjust these... hopefully one that works

I have heard that AI is impacting SEO on websites. What are some things I can do to make sure my SEO is still working effectively?
Yep, AI is changing SEO. Search is becoming more conversational, more zero-click (meaning people are reading the answers and not necessarily clicking through to websites as much), and more AI-summarized, so the goal is shifting from simply ranking for blue links to becoming a source that AI systems trust and cite. What’s changing AI-powered search features can answer simple questions directly on the results page, which often reduces clicks to informational pages like basic de

Launching Websites: How to get the Chrome Browser to Reload a Website that DNS has been Changed
When launching a new website to replace an existing website, sometimes it's hard to get the browser to reload the new DNS servers that the domain has been changed to point to, resulting in seeing the old website. The Chrome browser often stores old IP addresses even after you've updated your system settings or cleared your browsing history/cache. To get Chrome to recognize a DNS change, you must clear its internal DNS cache. Here's how to get Chrome to update it's memory DNS

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
