Good graphic design is about more than looks. The seven rules of graphic design help guide attention, improve clarity, and build trust with your audience. From balance and contrast to white space and movement, these principles show up in every effective logo, website, and marketing piece. When one is missing, something always feels off.
Keywords can sound awkward or unnatural, but they’re often the exact words people type into Google. Businesses and customers don’t always speak the same way, especially online. Understanding how people actually search helps your website get found, even if the wording feels a little clunky at first.
WordPress is a powerful website platform, but it is not without its drawbacks. Security, frequent updates, and plugin conflicts are real concerns when a site is not properly managed. The good news is that these disadvantages are easy to overcome. When WordPress is maintained intentionally, it becomes a flexible, reliable solution for small businesses.
One of the smallest WordPress settings can quietly affect how your site runs. Matching your site’s timezone helps keep contact form emails, scheduled posts, event calendars, and logs accurate. It’s a quick setup step, but skipping it can lead to confusion. At Full Scope Creative, it’s one of the first behind-the-scenes details we set for every client site.
Relying on Facebook as your only online presence puts your business at risk. While Facebook is useful for updates and visibility, it was never meant to be your foundation. This article explains where Facebook falls short for contractors, how it limits search visibility and clarity, and why your website should be your true home base.
Your website shouldn’t just say you’re trustworthy, it should show it. From testimonials and portfolios to case studies and real team photos, the right elements help visitors feel confident reaching out. Learn how small changes to your website can build trust, reduce hesitation, and reassure people that they’re truly in good hands.
Your website should do more than attract new clients. It should support the people already working with you. From educational content and helpful resources to clearly listed services, a well-built website gives clients clarity, confidence, and direction. When your site continues to serve clients after the sale, it helps build stronger, longer-lasting relationships.
Website hosting and website builders are often confused, but they play very different roles. Hosting is where your website lives and how it performs. A website builder is how it is created and updated. When the two work together intentionally, your website becomes faster, more secure, easier to manage, and far more effective for your business goals.
Spammers and hackers are not guessing anymore. Their attacks are automated, fast, and designed to find weak shortcuts. Simple security habits are no longer enough. Strong passwords, trusted plugins, reliable backups, and layered protection all matter. Website security works best when it is intentional, consistent, and built to handle real world threats.
We appreciate the terrific work Full Scope Creative has done for us in a short amount of time. The process to switch over to went very well! The turnaround time on dealing with our requests has been stellar. He trained our production assistant to handle our blog posts, after much had changed in Word Press. Chris is easy to reach- requests do not go into a black hole. 🙂
