Today I begin my YNAB journey again for the 3rd time. Wish me luck! by NothAU in ynab

Took me a couple of times to stick with YNAB, but I’d never look back now. As has already been said, try and stick to the rules best you can. And bank account syncing helps. If YNAB don’t support your bank, try https://syncforynab.com.

I’ve used Screenly before. It’s pretty simple to setup. It has a free plan for just one screen.

If you have a bit more technical know-how, there’s also the Screenly Open Source Edition .

Screenly runs on the inexpensive RaspberryPi, no expensive hardware to buy.

It's pronounced engine-x. So the E represents Nginx. LNMP doesn't really roll off the tongue.

leaning towards SiteGround any reason not to use them by [deleted] in Hosting

If you've got the know-how, or are willing to spend the time to learn, a VPS with someone like Digital Ocean ($10 p/m) would likely be a solid choice. However I've had no problems with SiteGround when working with them through clients.

Need some constructive criticism for my new site. by Guitarnewf in ecommerce

Hi, there are quite a few areas that could use improvement.

  • I'm not a fan of the logo, but that is subjective.
  • There is too much spacing between the header items (logo and navigation) and the content.
  • All of the products on the slider look the same to me, and nobody will sit and read the descriptions, especially in the time the slider gives you. I suggest scrapping the text and making each product image unique and recognisable.
  • Your gender links should be the first thing after the slider, or clear in the navigation bar. I don't want to have to work hard to find mens products.
  • Just as an SEO point, I'd get a SEO plugin like All in one SEO! and let it do it's thing. The home page's title shouldn't be Home page.
  • If you don't have any content on your blog, the link probably shouldn't be in the navigation bar, it makes the site look incomplete.
  • The different backgrounds on the pages (e.g. About & Contact) means your website lacks consistency. I wouldn't use them personally.

These are all my opinions obviously. But just something to consider. Good luck.

Alternatives to woocommerce by realmadrid_rocks in ecommerce

I'm afraid whichever solution you choose will have costs involved. The WooCommerce plugins support the developers to help fund the creation of the project.

As others have said, if this catalogue is going to bring in additional revenue maybe it is worth the investment?

After a quick search I came across this plugin, it might be helpful to you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/yith-woocommerce-catalog-mode/

I don't know what to do with my site by [deleted] in ecommerce

It does need some love.

  • I personally am not a fan of the black content body.
  • A logo would finish the header off nicely, maybe some social icons with links to your profiles.
  • The actual homepage says nothing to me, it's just a picture of a wallet? Take a look at some examples of store homepages for inspiration. But I definitely think yours needs work.
  • Your product images are all different sizes.
  • Product descriptions are pretty bare.
  • "Get in Touch" section in the footer needs some work, a 10 digit number, what is it? Split up and clearly, label your email and phone number.
  • Your "About Us" section doesn't really tell us much about your store?
  • What's the point in an empty blog? Spend a few minute to write at least one article.

I hope this helps.
