Design Blog
Tips, tutorials and design trends.
If you’re looking for some info on our branding process, or what to expect when updating your own custom WordPress website, or just some basic technical info, we’ve put some of the most frequently asked questions below. For more in-depth and specific info, or to set up a free consultation, get in touch through our contact form. Many clients who have already had us create a customized brand and website for them will find these tutorials helpful as they’re settling into their new site, and want to take care of certain updates and maintenance themselves. Please reach out if there’s a question here that isn’t covered below.
How do I add, edit, or delete a blog post?
If you have a custom blog built into your website, it’s important to keep up by writing in it. It’s essential to be consistent to attract and keep new followers and build your audience. If you enjoy writing, a blog can be a fun way to express yourself and your expertise, and to gain regular readers and visitors to your website. Not only that, but having an active blog with regular relevant content is very good for your search engine rankings. read more…
Can you help with the editing of audio or video?
While we don’t do any recording here at Biondo Studio, we can help with some other needs that you might have for audio or video. For audio, we can seamlessly edit already existing files, compile them in a new arrangement, or we can export them into a different file format. We also edit video and do a terrific job, if I may say so myself. read more…
Do you provide website updates if needed?
We are available to update sites that are created here at our studio for a $100.00 hourly rate, billed in 15 minute increments. Usually updates are made within 2 weeks of requesting them, but if it’s during the holiday season, please allow 3 to 4 weeks. as it’s an extremely busy time. Tight deadlines or short notice updates can be performed with an additional rush fee. read more…
What is the payment policy?
For larger jobs like a website, we request that a 50% deposit be paid to get started and to get the project started in the queue. An invoice billing for the balance will be sent out and the website can be launched once it is paid. For maintenance and smaller projects, the bill is sent out at the end of each month with the due date customarily set at two weeks in the future. read more…
Which software do you work with?
There are many different website builders out there, not to mention even in WordPress itself there are countless themes available. All of our sites are created with WordPress.ORG software, which is highly customizable, mobile-friendly, and allows clients to update and maintain most of the site themselves with some simple instructions. WordPress is more in-depth than a simple blogging platform because it can accommodate an entire site on your own server, including one blog page and countless plugins for different effects and features. The version of WordPress that we use is quite a bit different than the free setup of WordPress.COM software, even if the dashboard looks similar. Confusing, I know! read more…
What is GDPR compliance?
You may or may not have heard of the GDPR compliance which went into effect on May 25, 2018. In order to cover all bases and make sure that you are being clear with your visitors about what data that you’ll be collecting from them and how it will be used, we will add a privacy policy to your site along with disclaimers near contact forms and blog comment fields making your site as close to being GDPR compliant as possible. read more…
What is the best method to communicate with each other?
The initial contact is almost always through email and we will then set up a phone appointment for a free consultation. You can do this through our contact page. For international clients, long-distance conversations can be set up through Skype or Zoom. read more…
