PSPinc What’s New Newsletter Vol. 54 "Think About Tomorrow"

Vol. 54

In business, many challenges are faced every day. At the same time, you have to prepare for new business with the expectation of future growth. In many cases, if you are busy now and only looking at your feet, you may find yourself without a future.

The scariest time for a manager is when things are at their best. When you are at your best, you are always worried that things can only go downhill. Therefore, even if you think an activity is useless in the present, you need to do it for one or three years from now. Meaning what are you going to do in one or three years - what are you preparing for?

In my company, we are always working on new development for the future. We are constantly thinking and creating something that we have never done before. In many cases, we don't know if it will be successful, but we won’t know until we try it. Regardless, we are always working on the next project.

We aren’t always just thinking about innovations. There is also a constant push to make our current systems better, which is also a big challenge. It’s important to strike a balance between making the present better and developing our dreams for the future. This is the reason why we have been in business for 33 years.

Impact of Website SEO with Search Engines: Responsive Design

3月

10日

What is responsive design?

Responsive design is a web design approach used to create a site that adjusts smoothly to various screen sizes. Developers do several things such as size elements in relative units (%) and use media queries to apply different layouts and styles based on screen size. Using this approach their websites can automatically adapt to the browser space to ensure content consistency across devices.

Code on computer screen

Why is responsive design important?

The internet is an ever-changing environment. Mobile as a platform has officially overtaken desktop computers as the first choice of device for web browsing.

Remember, Google is and will always be user-centric, as society shifted to a more mobile-focused web browsing journey, they adapted. If you are moving toward a more mobile-optimized website, then you have the approval of Google, and your web search ranking will reflect this.

One of the main reasons that users may not stay on your website for an extended amount of time is because they are having a hard time navigating it. Consequently, the time a user spends on your page is used by Google to determine a site’s or page’s quality and value.

If you have a responsive website, users will have a much easier time navigating through your website and will have a good user experience overall.

Website on mobile devices

Is your website mobile-friendly?

The best way to find out is to open it up on your mobile device. Does everything scale well or does everything look tiny and hard to read? If it is the latter you could use a website refresh not just for search engines, but for your website visitors as well. You should deliver the best experience possible, regardless of the device your visitors are using. So don’t forget about your mobile users!

If you don’t know how best to get started, give us a call! At PSPinc, we have professional Designers and Developers who are knowledgeable about SEO and sophisticated web design! We would love to talk to you about it further! You can reach us by phone at 1-800-232-3989, by email at contact@pspinc.com, or find us online at PSPinc.com.

How to backup your WordPress website

2月

26日

Your WordPress website consists of files, images, and a database. Your database contains all of the content within your website. This includes every post, every link, and every comment. If your database gets corrupted, you could lose everything without a backup. Backing up your WordPress website regularly will ensure peace of mind.

Automated WordPress Backup Plugins

To automatically backup your WordPress website, you will need to install a plugin. One highly rated plugin is the UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin. In your WordPress admin, click on Plugins -> Add New. Under search keyword, type in Updraft.

Click Install Now, then Activate. Once activated, you can find UpdraftPlus under Settings -> UpdraftPlus Backups.

The first thing you will want to do is to click on the Settings tab and set up your backup schedules. Weekly backups should suffice for most websites. However, if you make frequent daily updates, you may opt for daily backups.

UpdraftPlus WordPress backup selection screen

By default, backups are saved locally for your website. You should choose a remote storage option so your backups are safe from drive crashes. Plus saving backups locally could fill up your disk quota for your website, giving you less space to work with. UpdraftPlus Backups let you choose from a wide selection of remote storage options. Select the option that works for you.

Manual Backups

We recommend that you make a manual backup prior to making a large update to your WordPress website. This way if you make a mistake, or installed a plugin/theme that breaks your website, you can easily revert your changes.

Click on Backup Now on the main UpdraftPlus page. If something happens after a large update, and you wish to revert your site to a prior state, select the backup you wish to restore to and click on Restore.

Tip: Upgrading your WordPress version and plugins is critical to maintaining security, but it does come with risks to what it does to your website’s look and functionality. Contact PSPinc if you want help updating your WordPress installation. We will test the upgrade in advance and take a backup of your website before we perform the upgrade.

Keep Your WordPress Install Secure

For complete peace of mind, you should look to securing your WordPress website in addition to making backups. Read our comprehensive article on how to secure your WordPress website for assistance.

PSPinc What’s New Newsletter Vol. 52 "Mail V5"

2月

26日

Vol. 52

Dreamersi, the email hosting service of Pacific Software Publishing, Inc., is getting a new mail server. The mail server currently used for dreamersi.com hosting was originally developed as mail hosting software for Windows Server under the code name ST Mail. Since its initial release, it has been upgraded over time.

The next release of our mail software will be a POP/IMAP server developed from scratch by PSPinc on Linux OS. This version has been in development for more than two years. It has been tested and has operated as the mail server for PSPinc for the past year, and bugs have been fixed to make it more complete. We are now ready to release it as dreamersi.com's mail service.

As a multi-domain mail server running on Windows Server, ST Mail (which we have been using until now) is still several times more powerful than what other companies offer. Our new mail server has proven to have processing power and stability that surpasses it. We will continue to provide more stable services on Dreamersi - we hope you enjoy it!

Email V5 is the current code name, and we are still looking for a product name. If you have a good name, please let us know.

A quick guide to typography for the web

2月

24日

Typography is one of the most important aspects of web design, yet also perhaps one of the most overlooked. Anybody can choose a typeface, but choosing the right typeface and then displaying it correctly can be a crucial step to reaching your users. Here are some tips for enhancing your website’s typography:

Choosing the right typeface.

First of all, yes it’s called a typeface, not a font. Without getting into too many details, Helvetica is a typeface, 18pt Helvetica Light is a font. Moving on. Generally, when choosing a typeface for your website, the choice often comes down to serif vs sans-serif. There’s not necessarily a right or wrong answer here, but some people feel very strongly one way or the other. Recent studies have found that sans-serif may be slightly more readable than serif, but the margin is very slim and ultimately comes down to preference, and what you’re used to reading. Display fonts are fine for headers, but avoid using anything other than a basic serif or sans-serif for your body copy.

Font size and line-height.

The next step is deciding the right size and spacing for your chosen type. These values will need to change based on device type and screen size (see image below), but in regards to font sizing for a desktop the common rule is to choose something in the 16-21px range. Your line spacing (line-height) should be in the range of 130%-170% of your font size. For instance, if you have a font size of 16px, a line-height of 150% would equal 24px.

Line Length for maximum readability.

Another important aspect to typography for the web is setting a reasonable line length. There have been many studies on this, which all find that the ideal line length for maximum readability is somewhere in the range of 45-80 characters. This is probably one of the most easily overlooked topics of typography, but critical to retaining user attention. See the image below for examples of various character lengths.

A couple more things.

Anyone who has ever tried to read yellow text on a white background has experienced the importance of a proper contrast between your type and background color. A general rule is to shoot for a contrast of at least 4.5:1 between type and background, but this varies depending on the weight of your font. Finally, make sure to establish an appropriate visual hierarchy between headers and body copy. This will allow users to scan your content as needed to find what they’re looking for.

If you’d like some help figuring out the perfect way to reach your users by creating a beautiful, easily readable and scannable website, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let our design team help you out with that.
