Hello. I'm Rob Cubbon. I'm a graphic and web designer / blogger.
I provide creative design and effecting marketing services.
If you think I can help you, let's talk!
I love blogging but I'm mostly interested in helping people
with their businesses.
The most important blogging design improvement for the last few years has been use of the featured image or thumbnail image. This small rectangle of color provides the user with an visual teaser which they can click or tap in order to find out more or read a whole article. More and more WordPress themes [...]
I was absolutely sure that this Design and Marketing Podcast interview with Paul Jarvis was going to be excellent. And, I was right – don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? I knew that Paul was great in interviews because I’d heard him on Blogcast FM interviewed by Srini Rao. And, if [...]
A website is essential to a business in today’s economy. OK, scrub that. A website is essential to everyone in today’s economy. What are you going to do, whether you’re 18 years old, 28, 38, or 48 years old and looking for a job? Are you going to be shuffling round town armed with a [...]
One of the very many benefits of interviewing various creative business people for the Design and Marketing podcast is that it takes me away from my small world. During the last few years on this website I have mostly written about what works for me. When I was starting out online in 2006-2008 I basically [...]
Even people like me who are old enough to remember the great sound of a dial-up modem (when I listen to that I still feel excited!) know that there is a need for speed on the internet. The above video on speeding up WordPress is part of a course I’m doing on Udemy about blogging, [...]
The latest in my oh-so remarkable series of interviews with design business owners is a great one. OK, I know I keep saying that but this one is great, believe me. The fantastic thing about this interview was that I didn’t really know Matt Shuey before I spoke to him. We were introduced via Google+ [...]
So, spring is here (ahem, it’s freezing outside) and it’s time for me to look back on the last quarter to see how I’ve done plus set some goals for the next 3 months. Last year, I made $8,553 passive income. And the year before (I wasn’t really counting) I made around $1000. So I’m [...]
This is a strange moment for me. I’ve never written a blog post like this before. My articles (hopefully) help people in some way. This one may help one person. It also may help me. As I am increasingly busy and after much thought and consternation, I have decided to sell HelloMyNameIsE.com(PR3), WPblogTalk.com (PR3) and [...]
For the last few months now the blogosphere has been hot with the word “podcast”. As podcasting is not as ubiquitous as video, small businesses can utilize this medium more effectively as there is less competition. If you want to start a podcast you could do no worse that to go to the podcasting expert, [...]
I have been pestering my latest victim interviewee for the Design and Marketing Podcast (subscribe or leave a review, folks) for weeks and weeks before she gave in! Louise Myers is a fantastic example of a designer who has never stopped learning. You have to listen to this interview because there is so much to [...]
