She adds: “It’s very important to have a clear understanding of color psychology and what every color could mean to your visitors before starting any visual project”.

    Thank you for the plugin information. I was wondering if there were helper tools for landing pages because I saw many landing pages at competing websites that looked specialized and now my suspicions are confirmed. This is a very useful post for someone like me who is not so familiar with all the aspects of creating a successful website in WordPress as an individual on a realistic budget.

    Also, the Cloudways partnership looks interesting….I will need to move to a new host now that I have seen that one reason Google does not find me is PageInsight Speed…
