Thank you @avaroasteria. Your iced mocha is the very definition of summer for many of us in Beaverton. White chocolate, milk chocolate, or my favorite, dark chocolate, are all options so everyone can be cooled and satiated. Last Friday, my mocha fueled an afternoon of creative work conversation and a little web development in some shared office space.

There is so much talent in Portland and places bey

There is so much talent in Portland and places beyond. As an expert in Search Engine Optimization, it is my job to help curate that expertise into content for the web where it lives as a testament to a person’s or organization’s mission.

And, all of that great content, when properly Search Engine Optimized, can help set your business or organization apart from the others in a positive way.

So, when experimenting with that new recipe or launching that new product line or listing that new property for sale, consider sharing your unique perspective about your experience it in a blog post on your website. The rest of us want to see your process and are intellectually curious about what you do and why you do it!

I love you Tillamook. You are always there for me

I love you Tillamook. You are always there for me on the hot summer days. Five Rivers Coffee, a trip to Josi Farms for some fresh produce, and the coast trails with the bay and untouched beach.

For me, a break from being a web developer means looking for something outdoors and magical to recharge. Tillamook, in you I have found many perfect days.

To explain User Experience (UX) simply, you can us

To explain User Experience (UX) simply, you can use the analogy of visiting a physical store. Imagine you walk into a store where everything is neatly organized, the products are easy to find, and the staff is friendly and helpful. In this scenario, you would have a positive user experience.

Now, imagine entering a different store where the shelves are disorganized, it's difficult to find what you're looking for, and the staff is unhelpful or unfriendly. This situation would result in a negative user experience.

Similarly, a website's user experience is determined by factors such as intuitive navigation, clear and attractive design, fast page loading times, relevant content, and responsiveness on different devices. A good user experience ensures that visitors can easily find what they're looking for, understand the information presented, and complete their intended actions without frustration or confusion.

User experience is about creating a website that is enjoyable, accessible, and meets the needs of its users, just like a well-organized and welcoming physical store.

If you have a lot of content on your website, UX is essential. Is there anything more frustrating than an online giant with bad UX? (ehem Amazon)

You can read more about UX and view a simple example of website home page that recently had a UX overhaul on my blog. Link in bio.

Happy Paddling on the Web!

WEBSITE UPDATE FOR NEW POETRY RELEASE! "The Saplin

WEBSITE UPDATE FOR NEW POETRY RELEASE! "The Saplings Think of Us as Young" by Kimberly Kralowec is due for a May 2023 release.

Last week Websites 503 was proud to add this new title to the Kelson Books website.

“In her visionary debut collection, Kralowec explores the intimacy of living in close relationship with extremes of beauty and distress—in both the human and non-human creatures around us.”

“Kelson Books publishes prose and poetry that respond to the contemporary world with creativity, truthtelling, and fierce kindness. We are interested in nature, politics, personal narrative. We publish voices that sound human, that are well-informed and crafty, and that help us all to be responsive to the paradox, humor, and wild pain and beauty of our shared life on this planet.”

You can order other titles directly from Kelson Books from authors such as @stephenjwest_future (Soft-Boiled) and @davidbiespiel (A Place of Exodus: Home, Memory, and Texas and Every Writer Has a Thousand Faces)

Learn more at Kelson Books website or search the author online.

Excited to announce the quick website build and launch for Bethany Childcare in Beaverton, Oregon. Bethany Childcare offers before and after school childcare available in four Beaverton School District Elementary Schools.

The owner of Bethany Childcare wanted a simple website where guardians could download some documents and prospective guardians/ parents could reach out to her with questions. She provided me with the graphics and most of the text content. My job was to lay it out properly and make it shine. My goal was to build a simple, one-page website that was nice, modern, and clean.

While bringing the logos in from the media library, I quickly became smitten with all of the little critters. I came to find out that the Artwork was by Josh Nusbaum, at Waterknot Graphics @waterknotpress. His work is authentic and playful and I think I need the Otter iPhone case: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNagMpLhNCG/

Thanks to @45thparalleldesign for the custom graphics and video editing.
