Kindly enough, DreamHost offers some documentation about setting up Magento on their servers, but unfortunately it doesn’t really cover a lot of the issues you may run into. Here’s how we did it.

hasOptimization is proud to announce the launch of a new website for NH appetizer platter catering board creators j.b. smorgasboard! We worked with owners Jill and Brit to launch their first ever website, logo, and marketing materials. We were happy to be able to assist these new business owners with taking their first steps forward into becoming full time business owners. The j.b. smorgasboard duo had a lot we needed to get settled. Since this was their first ever attempt to start getting out onto the web, we helped them with their overall branding package and getting them started on…

The other day I was minding my own business, watching Comedy Central via their app, when I caught sight of it. It was a hip, catchy, quick-cut ad for “easy to use” websites hosted on GoDaddy. While the ad may have been pretty, cut together nicely, showcase some OK looking sites on it, and have a cool audio track, GoDaddy’s hosting is anything but nice. We are often tasked with inheriting sites from clients that were either self-created or set up by someone else, and a lot of the times they are hosted on GoDaddy. Why is GoDaddy such a…

Something interesting happened this morning, as they sometimes do. Monster Insights, the popular Google Analytics integration plugin for WordPress, released an updated version of their plugin (as they often do). Along with an updated preference panel, the new MonsterInsights (free version is now being called Lite) version 7.4 also removed manual Google Analytics authentication. In the past, it’s been possible to just paste your UA code into the MonsterInsights plugin, whether you had control of that GA property or not. With this latest release of MonsterInsights 7.4, that feature has been removed. Not surprising – MonsterInsights has been pushing authentication…

hasOptimization is proud to announce the launch of a website for closed captioned television provider CCTV New England. This Manchester NH based security supplier came to us without a website, and we had to drum up a completely new site and new look for them. One of the biggest challenges we face when making sites for clients is when they don’t have a clear vision for what they are looking for. In this instance, CCTV New England didn’t have a prior website, a logo, content, or even a preferred color scheme at the time we were to make design suggestions….

We know that in the first week of 2019 there’s probably more important things you’re scrambling to do, but there’s one important thing that often gets overlooked when it comes to web development. That is: updating your copyright year.

Gutenberg has been out for… Like all of a week now. While it’s sometimes breaking things and sometimes working A-okay, there are some weird bugs that are popping up here and there while we wait for theme authors and plugin authors to roll out adjustments to their items to make Gutenberg work as seamlessly as possible. One issue I ran into was a curious one – white on white text in the backend.

hasOptimization is proud to announce the launch of a new site for Merrimack, NH medical spa ANEWU Medical Spa. ANEWU Medical Spa originally came to hasOptimization looking to improve their ad performance on Facebook and around the web. While we were glad to help, as we were assisting to prepare new advertising methods, we noticed that there was one big problem: ANEWU’s current site was lacking in a lot of elements that are critically necessary for success when it comes to advertising, especially on mobile platforms like Facebook. First and foremost, the site was not fully responsive, making it hard…

We’ve already gone through how to get featured images/blog post images to show in MailChimp with the Featured Image in RSS plugin, but perhaps you don’t want to use a plugin. Maybe you’re looking for a way to edit your RSS feed without putting yet another plugin into your WordPress install. Never fear! We can help guide you through this plugin-less route. It’s actually quite simple, and there’s a few different ways to do it. Let’s take a look!
