I’ve been doing a lot of branding a re-branding of my blogs recently. There are some great ways to help your blogs stand out from the crowd of a very saturated world. If you don’t get the attention of a visitor straight away, you have likely lost them for good. Why would you return somewhere that didn’t interest you or peak your interest? It’s like walking past a shop which doesn’t have anything good in the window. Let’s have a look at some ways you can switch up the look of your blog and perfect that branding.
New Blogs, Old Blogs
I have launched new blogs in the past few weekend and I think you go through the process of setting a new one up, making it look awesome and then questioning your other ones. After I’ve installed a new theme and I start questioning my older blogs, before I actually start changing the look and feel of those sites, I look at plugins. There are lots of awesome plugins which can help you tweak your branding slightly without having to give it a complete overhaul. I find this works quite well after setting up a new site starts you looking at your established blogs with a negative eye.
Switch Up Your Fonts
One of the best ways to make your site look a little bit fresher is to simply change the fonts you’re using. Fontsy is a great plugin to install to help you achieve this. Maybe you’ve found a new font which you’ve had to buy, or perhaps made your own font with your unique designs skills. Using this plugin you can import fonts or use a range of different ones from their own font library. If you’re looking for a WordPress font plugin to help you give your site the edge, give it a try!
Easy Sharing
You may or may not have heard of Social Warfare but it’s a plugin which allows you to easily add social sharing buttons. The buttons you can install are attractive and appealing. This could be a great plugin for you to install on your WordPress site. Your visitors can simply do the promotion for you with a click of a button. Leaving you to enjoy the extra traffic flooding in. Perfect!
The Future Is Video
Industry experts have said for years now that video is the future. How much video so you have on your site? If you create video content is it actually on your site or do visitors have to leave your site in order to watch on the likes of YouTube? Keep your audience on your page with Video Grid. Complete with responsive lightbox viewing, the plugin creates an attractive video grid so you can show your work in style. Actually right there on your page. There is a paid version but even with the free plugin, you can add unlimited videos to your grid. Video might have killed the radio star but it’s going to look awesome on your website!
There are lots of amazing plugins available for absolutely no cost that can take your site to the next level. It might be a small tweak or a big change you want on your blog and plugins can help you achieve it.
