Maximize our clients' websites with perfect call-to-action buttons!
A compelling call-to-action button can make all the difference in generating phone calls or form submissions for our clients. It is crucial to ensure that all links work flawlessly and direct users to the correct pages. Broken links or misdirected buttons can frustrate customers and result in missed opportunities. So before you send over your site, please be sure to check your button names and links one last time.

Font selection may seem minor, but it can make or break your website's design. We typically recommend clean, corporate, sans-serif fonts for most of our sites; however, depending on the subject matter or branding, more distinctive, custom fonts might be necessary. This week, I'll provide two quick guides on how to import custom fonts into Canva and Duda, enabling you to maintain consistent branding across all elements of your design. Start the Tutorial >>>

The correct set-up of Cognito Forms submission details is imperative when building a site. By confirming both of the following aspects are correct, we can avoid running into any future issues with the form:
- Ensure that the Entry Details box is checked under the Confirmation Settings in Cognito Forms. This ensures that the details that the user fills out in the form are visible to the client whenever they receive form submissions.
- Make sure that the client's email address is listed as the recipient for the form. We want to be 100% certain that the client will receive all form submissions!

Don't forget about your alt tags.
Every instance of the client's logo should include updated alt text in the format "Company name logo." This includes the header, footer, tablet view header, mobile view header, and the pop-up.
Updating the desktop view's logo in the header will not update the mobile and tablet view tag,
so always make sure to manually update those two areas.
Please utilize Duda's built in alt tag generator for all other site images, but keep in mind that using the AI tool for logo alt text will not work. The AI will describe the graphic elements in the logo rather than sticking to the SEO friendly formula "Company name logo".

When working with target location collections, it's important to add a column for the map for each corresponding location. Unlike other columns in the collection, the map column should be set to "location" as it's field type. Adding a map to the contact section or "Why is (company name) so popular?" section on the dynamic pages is a good way to have a map ready to connect the collection data to. View Examples >>>
