While ADHD is often represented by stereotypical children who can’t sit still, it is a lifelong condition that affects how people process information (among other things). This means that digital content—already often designed for a short attention span—can be a real struggle for people with ADHD. The good news? ADHD-friendly content tends to be internet-friendly content. By making your content more accessible for people with ADHD, you are making it more successful as well. Here are seven tips to help make your digital content (blogs, ads, social media, etc.) more ADHD friendly! #1 Be concise Old-school SEO advice said you…

It’s time for another roundup! We tackle a few key changes in marketing that happened over the past month so you’re in the know. Take a look at what’s going on recently:

As holidays like Juneteenth have begun to be recognized more widely, many businesses, including large corporations, have begun increasing marketing efforts around various marginalized communities. However, this often results in a marketing push that coincides with a particular event or month. At best, this can result in marketing strategies that continue to sideline members of marginalized communities. In some cases, it can result in commercializing and commodifying culture for profit. One way to help resist this trend is to support Black-owned businesses, and to do so year-round. Since hasOptimization is based in New Hampshire, in this post we’re featuring a…

We’re excited to announce the launch of the new website for the Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire (ReproFund), which provides information and funding for abortion access.

A little bit of everything is happening in the world of tech, from CMS changes to new features and updates. Check out the latest ongoings that have been happening in the marketing world!

Everyone who reads the hasOptimization blog knows that I make no apologies when it comes to how hard I drag web hoster GoDaddy for their web hosting offerings, whether it comes to their price gouging for SSL certificates, charging for services that don’t actually do anything, their poor security, or any variety of shady business practices they have.

From preparations for holiday shopping season (no, we can’t believe it’s just around the corner either) to new insights into Google’s crawl budget, we’ve got you covered with a roundup of some important digital marketing news over the last month.

Bloat can happen to anyone and strike at any time – often times when we are most unaware! But when you get the dreaded email from your hosting company about how you’re about to hit your hosting limit, you’re probably asking how or why this is happening to your WordPress site. 

Sometimes we build fancy features or hundred-product ecommerce setups, and those sites can be fantastically interesting and challenging to bring to life. Other days, though, we do something that’s simple, fast, and budget-friendly, especially when we’re working with solopreneurs or nonprofits. Today’s launch announcement is an unusual one for us, albeit not our first political candidate: A fellow Canterburian, Ellen Scarponi, is running for NH State Representative for Canterbury and Loudon, and wanted a basic website to function as a larger digital brochure for her campaign. We also (with the always appreciated design experience of Bradstreet Englert Creative) designed handouts…

We’re very pleased to welcome our new Social Media Director, Katherine Sookma. Katherine hails from the far distant land of Texas, but as so many folks have learned in the last couple years (and we already knew), distance is actually very little barrier to effective work in many fields. We’re lucky here in that our work is very adaptable to the remote-work paradigm, but one odd benefit of the proliferation of remote work in the last couple of years has been that when we interview potential team members, the question of “are you comfortable working remotely?” is far less of…
