It's official now so I feel I can share it with my twitter feed. Anne Bode Design will be getting a new junior colleague in a few weeks time. He'll be very small, very fluffy, and become the new assistant of Puplick affairs! Watch this space... 😉

None of them are great, but the micro-manager and the wannabe are the worst imo. You've hired a designer who trained for years to do this, you should let them do their job guys 😉

When you're getting close to launching a new website: "My new baby is so awesome and now the world can finally see how awesome this site is"

Real talk: do y'all follow me for the designer tips and serious talk or just because I occassionally post terrible jokes and sassy comments?

(My new assistant in pawketing and public affairs is arriving in less than two weeks so 'I follow you in hopes of puppy pictures' is also very valid rn)

For any website designer who needs to hear this: you need to ask for permissions but you don't need to cover an entire screen to do it on mobile. 'Agree' 'Reject' 'more info' in a banner at the BOTTOM makes people happy.

Launching a new website is a lot like sitting in a plane taking off... it's very exciting and great, but even though I have done it plenty of times before I am always nervous something may go wrong. Two site launches this week, I'm excited!

Instagram, meet the new love of our lives. His name is Biscuit and he is an itty bitty Golden Retriever Labrador mix #puppy #cute #dog #labrador #labradorpuppy #newfamilymember🐶 instagr.am/p/CGceuTjhhGJ/

Trying to combine work with puppysitting... a bit tricky sometimes 😰 #puppylife #business #workingfromhome #workingfromhomelife instagr.am/p/CG4wcJXhmPA/

Working with Squarespace for the first time to make updates for a client who build her website in it. I'm SHOCKED. The only 'default' cookie popup banner the Squarespace allows is.... not GDPR compliant. No option to accept or reject cookies. This is so disappointing.

A website that isn't GDPR compliant can get fined, there must be thousands and thousands of customers using this platform and Squarespace, a 'trusted' platform is apparently fine putting them at risk by proposing a default solution that doesn't mean regulations at all.

My beloved Wordpress may not provide a banner by default, but it allows users to install any plugin that can resolve this quite easily. Squarespace, in contrast, doesn't even allow users to customise their banner to make it compliant. The only solution is to...not use cookies.

Which then puts users into the position of having a compliant site that doesn't tell them what their users are doing, because they are unable to track how many clicks or interactions any areas of the sites are getting. Making it hard to optimise their site in any way.

Welp, just secured a super busy and stressful but very exciting new opportunity! This is gonna be an all hands on deck type month

My very first ecommerce site went live on monday: robinsonsbakery.com Big pro of making ecommerce: you can order from them! Today I have an order of donuts and cupcakes arriving at our doorstep to celebrate. CAN'T WAIT!
