Writing
I write plain-English guides for people who run a business website. Every post starts with a TL;DR, so the short answer comes first and the detail follows. If you use a feed reader, new posts also appear in the RSS feed.

Lighthouse called the shots: moving Bold Leap host after host
Bold Leap earns from ads, so every host move was judged on Lighthouse load speed. Here is the order it moved in, and what an ad-funded site can copy.
Paid clicks deserve their own page: make every service page ad-ready
Send each ad to a page about its service: a headline that matches the search, the action on the first phone screen, a short form, reviews and a fast load.
The form said thanks, the email never came: catch the enquiries your website drops
A thank-you message doesn't prove the email arrived. Store every enquiry, retry and flag failed sends, send from your own domain and test the form monthly.
Proof before the button: where reassurance belongs on a page
Put the reassurance that answers a visitor's doubt right beside the button: a real review, the next step, the price, your response time or your guarantee.
CRO without A/B tests: how small sites find their fixes
Small sites can find what's costing them enquiries without an A/B test. Watch where visitors give up, then compare enquiries before and after each fix.
Enquiry forms that get finished on a phone
Ask only what you need to reply, and label every field. Set each one up for the phone's keyboard and autofill, and keep people's answers after an error.
