Using the Pantheon Web Hosting Platform for Education

I use the Pantheon web hosting platform in several of my web design classes at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines IL. During the semester students build two WordPress sites, one blogging site and one business website as their final project. Using Pantheon accomplishes several learning objectives: hands on experience configuring / managing a web server environments and an in-depth understanding of the WordPress backend. It is my experience that it’s easy to setup for students of all levels. It’s reliable and is high performance, so students get to experience a high-end, high-performance hosting environment. Last semester’s final projects were awesome.

Omnichannel Digital Marketing Automation in the Adoption Space

röös design is helping to redefine digital marketing in the adoption space. We have expanded the number of channels for marketing adoption services for our client the Adoption Center of Illinois. When it was determined that Facebook ads were very unproductive, budgets were increased and shifted to expand Google and Bing Search network usage. The Google Display Network was recently added to maximize customer engagement using powerful segmentation techniques to reach the right customers, where and when they expect to be reached. Results are currently being tracked, analyzed and reported using AI assisted report generation techniques using data derived from Google Analytics to gain a better understanding of campaign performance.

Digital Marketing Experience

Using the Google Display Network – we are seeing good results.

  • Lower CPC (cost per click)
  • Higher conversion rates – significantly higher than industry average

Google Web Designer – HTML5 Ads

We build ten (10) HTML5 dynamic ads for mobile, tablet and desktop using Google Web Designer  (each ad is animated in some ways). HTML5 Ads are like mini web pages that require multiple file types to create the ad display and ad features.

Unbounce – Landing pages

We are currently running A/B tests to see if landing pages perform better than the landing page on the website.

My First Post using the Gutenberg Block Editor for WordPress 5.0

So far so good with the Gutenberg update…

Comments

  • Very intuitive – within the first 15 minutes
  •  No glitches when I clicked the Upgrade to WP 5.0 button

To illustrate the usage of the block editor I will add various types of blocks.

This is a H2 heading 😉

This is a paragraph block :{

This is a paragraph of  Lorem Ipsum  source: https://www.lipsum.com is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
