Surfer SEO Review: Beat Your Top-Ranking Rivals!

In this comprehensive, in-depth Surfer SEO review, I share my extensive hands-on experience with Surfer SEO, which I’ve used (as a paying customer) since October 2020. Rather than zealously sing its praises and pimp its advantages, I’m writing this review of Surfer as an opportunity to re-evaluate its pros and cons, to find out if […]

Elementor Pro Review – What You Should Know

In this factful (and tactful) in-depth Elementor Pro review, I’ll first assess the free Elementor plugin, followed by the Elementor Pro plugin: what extra features will it give you? Is Elementor Pro worth it? Let’s get on with it – let’s cut right to the cheese! Oh! Oops… Sowwyyyyyy, my bad… I meant chase… Let’s […]

Teachable Review – Why it Beats Kajabi & Thinkific

In this Teachable review, we look at one of the world’s most popular online learning platforms: Teachable. Ever since online marketing experts / gurus like Jeff Walker, Frank Kern, and Brendon Burchard began touting online courses (and promoting the online course software Kajabi) as the perfect platform to monetize your skills and elevate your authority […]

Divi Theme Review – You Better Get the Plugin!

In this Divi theme review, we focus on Divi 4 from a WordPress theme perspective! I highly recommend you also read the complementary, in-depth Divi Builder review which covers the Divi page builder plugin. Features of the Divi Theme Simplicity of the Divi Theme The Divi shortcode controversy What’s been so controversial, is the way […]

Divi Builder Review – a Refreshing Update

This insightful Divi Builder review dives deep into Divi 4 – and its new Theme Builder. Does it rival (or surpass) Elementor and Beaver Builder / Beaver Themer? I’ve done a lot of extensive (and at times: exhausting) testing and research to serve you this accurate, and (hopefully) helpful Divi 4 review. This review is […]

Page Builder Framework Review – Bare-bones but Powerful

In this in-depth Page Builder Framework review, we look at the free core theme – and the premium add-on plugin. How does Page Builder Framework compare vs alternatives like Astra, GeneratePress & OceanWP? As the name suggests, Page Builder Framework is a flexible, lean WordPress theme framework, tailor-made for use with page builders like Beaver […]

GeneratePress Review – a Simple & Fast WordPress Theme

In this GeneratePress review, I share my hands-on experience with this lean, fast, page builder friendly WordPress theme. I’m enjoying it a lot and have already made two GeneratePress sites – with a third in the making. They’re good examples of sites you can do with GeneratePress. All three websites were designed 100% from scratch, using […]

Hestia Theme Review – Better than Before

This in-depth Hestia theme review expands on my extensive WordPress theme comparison What’s the Fastest WordPress Theme for Your Page Builder? In that comparison, Hestia didn’t do too well. In fact: it came in last, performance-wise! Fortunately, ThemeIsle (the makers of Hestia) were quick to shoot me an email, wanting to find the cause and […]

Dynamik Website Builder Review

This is an updated and revised review of my original Dynamik Website Builder review. Disclaimer: Since I already own and use several other WordPress theme frameworks, I asked Cobalt Apps for a complimentary license, so I could write this review. So in a way, this review has been sponsored by Cobalt Apps. Rest assured though: This review is in no […]

CoSchedule Review – Better than its Competitors?

In this CoSchedule review, you’ll discover how CoSchedule can help you create better content – faster. It’s a complete content calendar, with tasks and projects, a powerful social scheduling tool a la Buffer, Hootsuite, and Meet Edgar. And perhaps best of all: it’s 100% integrated with WordPress, so everything’s always right there, where you need […]

Elementor Pro 2’s New Theme Builder vs Beaver Themer

Anyone who has looked at Beaver Themer can see that Elementor Pro 2’s theme builder feature is conceptually a carbon copy clone of Beaver Themer. The main selling point of Elementor Pro 2 is its included theme builder. “Included” is the key word here. Elementor’s theme builder is a surreptitious attempt at matching (i.e. blatantly […]

Gutenberg: a Vital (and Long Overdue) Step for WordPress

The huge outcry was likely an unintended backlash spawned by Gutenberg's 100% open development process. The developers wanted feedback from the WordPress community, early in the process. A choice we should all appreciate and applaud. Few seemed to appreciate it, however. They did get some feedback, though. Oh… my… Feedback is what they got. To […]

A Blissful Social Warfare Review – Social Media Icons Done Right

Social media icons should be a simple, trouble-free affair. Yet I’ve had my fair share (pun intended:) of problems with them. Indeed, social media icons are a necessary evil: temperamental and occasionally problematic – yet more or less mandatory for most websites. We want visitors to share our content – so it makes sense to […]

Is Yoast Premium Worth It? My Underwhelmed Review

This is a Yoast SEO premium review. And although I’ve been using the free Yoast SEO plugin ever since it was known as WordPress SEO, I’ve never been a huge fan of its bloated UI. Yet I pondered: is Yoast Premium worth it? When I recently realized the Yoast Premium upgrade would let me optimize […]

Thrive Architect Review – a Landing Page Builder for Marketers

Now that you’ve been assured of my integrity and heartfulness, here are my experiences with Thrive Themes (and in particular Thrive Architect) – or as they’d say in Germany: my “Thrive Themes erfahrung” :o) Thrive Themes isn’t German, though. It originates from Switzerland. Thrive Themes often make me think of Germany (even though they’re from […]

Thrive Architect vs Elementor: Full-Width Backgrounds & Color Overlays

But what if your theme doesn't include an adequate page template for that purpose? And what if you're overall happy with your theme and not in the mood for a time-consuming switch to a more “page builder friendly” WordPress theme? Are you out of luck? Nope. Fortunately, both Elementor and Thrive Architect have good solutions, […]

Your New Year’s Success Principles (free worksheet!)

A new year has begun, and with it comes a great chance to reflect on the year that’s gone by – as well as your plans for the coming year. Time for some new year’s resolutions, right? Wrong. New year’s resolutions don’t work for most people. Why new year’s resolutions don’t work There are two […]

Your Peak Brain Score – Does Peak Brain Training Work?

What’s your Peak Brain Score? Is your Peak Brain Map accurate? Are Elevate, Lumosity and Peak brain training scores correct? I asked Peak’s expert! You know those days when you simply can’t accomplish what you set out to do? To train my focus, I’ve been using the Peak brain training app (for iOS and Android) consistently, […]

Rainmaker Digital? Any Rainmaker Platform Alternatives?

Update, September 4th, 2019: Just the other day, I received news that Rainmaker Digital Services / Nimble Worldwide (or whatever they’re called… I’m truly confused…) are finally ready to launch their “new and improved” (given their history, I find that somewhat hard to believe, let alone buy into…) version of the Rainmaker Platform: Rainmaker Platform Andromeda.
