12 Web Design Best Practices & Guidelines for Usability in 2025 [+ Expert Tips]
I used to be a content writer for a small web design agency, and my first piece was about website design best practices. I remember my manager going through it and telling me, “All good, but web design isn’t just about making things look good.” Back then, I was young and fresh, and honestly, that sounded totally backward. Made no sense. For me, design was all about what I saw. I mean, it’s visual, right? So, of course, the look should be everything. Well, any web designer hearing this would probably be ready to pull their hair out. Today, I […]
Chart Your Leadership Path With These 10 Management Styles
Growing up, I was only exposed to one type of management style. My baseball coaches were some of the most ruthless and demanding people I’ve ever met, pushing our team to our physical and emotional limits. When I started doing internships in college, I expected my managers to be like my coaches. Since the stakes are higher in a business, I was scared to mess up. But to my surprise, my managers in the working world were the complete opposite of my coaches. For the first time, I experienced different management styles. Your management style impacts the team you oversee […]

I kept seeing ‘CMS’ pop up everywhere, so I dove deeper into understanding it. What I found was encouraging: a CMS, or content management system, is a tool that lets you build and manage a website without needing coding skills. With over 80 million websites already using a CMS, it’s a reliable solution for those of us who want to build a website but have limited technical skills. In this post, I‘ll share […]
Building a B2B Video Marketing Strategy With Impact — Here’s Everything I Learned
I remember once sitting in a quarterly marketing review meeting, watching competitors‘ video campaigns flash across the screen.

Each campaign told a story that spoke directly to a decision-maker’s challenges and needs. That‘s when it hit me: B2B video marketing isn’t just another checkbox in our marketing strategy — it’s a fundamental shift in how we engage with our audience. Think about it: An engaging explainer video can transform a confused prospect into an interested lead while a […]

How to Humanize AI Content So It Will Rank, Engage, and Get Shared in 2025
I still remember my first taste of artificial intelligence (AI).It was “SmarterChild,” a chatbot available on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and Windows Live Messenger in the early 2000s that you could have a “conversation” with when your real friends weren’t online. But honestly, even as a preteen, I could see that it needed a lesson in humanizing AI content. While SmarterChild could ask how I was and tell jokes, the exchanges felt, well, robotic. It couldn’t learn or remember information over time, and it had trouble navigating human quirks like slang and shorthand. It also seemed to always throw out […]
How Brands Can Act Responsibly During a Crisis
It’s been 53 days since Hurricane Helene devastated my hometown of Asheville, but I’m going to level with you: I showered in a FEMA trailer this morning, so it’s still really hard to care about send rates and conversion optimization. Lucky for you and me (and my editorial calendar), I found a story that I do care about. And my sense of humor is still (mostly) intact. It’s a story of cleverness and kindness. A story about how one business owner used her clout to help her community. And a story about how your brand can do the same, should […]
