WordPress 5 has been here for some time now, and while it was a long time coming – and while it promised plenty of good changes – it still meant a little bit of a leap into the darkness.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has changed dramatically over the past few years. Thanks to changes made to various search engine algorithms, websites are now required to focus on more than just cramming in the right keywords. The UX, or user experience, is now a major driver for how sites are ranked through searches on Google and Bing. (more…)

Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been steadily evolving over several years now, and arguably for the better. For example, we can now use AI in our homes thanks to machine learning and intelligent design. The most common being, voice control and fingerprint sensors as they have become a part of everyday life thanks to their intuitive design.  It should also be noted that eCommerce, too, is benefiting massively from the evolution of AI – and there’s lots of different ways in which machine learning and automated processes are helping businesses to stay afloat online.

While WordPress may already be one of the most secure and most fluid website builders around, there are still plenty of ways through which you can tune up and safeguard your experience while running your own website.  Thankfully, the platform’s plugin-based software allows you to take complete control over your security and backups – meaning that you have the final say in how you manage your content and data at all times.

Data protection has long been an important part of UK law, particularly with more and more of our information being stored online and shared via social networking.  Therefore, it’s perhaps no surprise that there have been changes made to the way in which such data is protected for EU citizens, and, as such, websites and other platforms likely to collect such data are going to need to become fully compliant by May 2018.  The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is something which all websites will need to pay attention to moving forward.
