Since the introduction of the GDPR on 25 May 2018, the online marketing world has changed dramatically. Consent banners have become mandatory and website operators must obtain user consent for every third-party service.

Stefan, what impact does Google Consent Mode have on your work as an agency and how can companies use this to both comply with legal requirements and implement effective marketing strategies? For agencies and companies that work with WordPress and want to run successful online advertising campaigns, it has become essential to meet these new requirements in order to continue advertising profitably.

“Far too few people are aware of the huge impact that digital products such as websites have on the climate” – that was one of our outcomes when the four of us sat together a few years ago and pondered the ecological footprint of websites. We realised that more attention needed to be paid to the topic.

After all, a certificate or seal of approval combines a number of advantages to promote a topic, in this case climate-conscious websites. In other words, websites that […]

We’ve all been there: images from old blog posts, deactivated plugins and themes and other data rubbish vegetating in the backend. In principle, this doesn’t bother anyone in day-to-day business, but in the long run it makes your website slow and insecure. Spring cleaning campaigns, such as those organised by Michelle from Hootproof, David from fastwp […]
