Since content management is at the front and center of the appeal of WordPress as a platform (it’s called Content Management System for a reason after all), it’s no surprise that countless photographers (freelance, entrepreneurs, agencies of all scales from startups to high-end photography) use WordPress websites in combination with some ironclad image theft (hotlink) prevention measures to showcase their photographs and project proudly.

  454. Now, an attractive portfolio on WordPress needs just as understated (yet elegant and feature packed) a theme, but in case you don’t want a special WordPress portfolio theme for your website, you can use a combination of the following plugins to help you create, optimize, manage, and display your photographs with stylish elan.

  461.  
  462.

Brilliant features include JPEG/GIF/PNG compression, auto-compression on upload to the media library, manual smush (compression) in the media library (individual or in groups of 50 at a time), advanced compression stats, and more.
  463.

  471.  
  472. This SEO suite/ plugin is a classic. Every single WordPress user and their mother know about WordPress SEO by Yoast. Joost de Valk is a remarkably awesome developer indeed.
  473.  
  474.

  500.  
  501. Soliloquy is a premium responsive slider plugin, and there’s a reason why you will absolutely love it.
  502.  
  503. The simple, easy to use slider plugin looks extremely sophisticated and packs some remarkably smart features like separate mobile specific assets, easy import/ export of slider images and related images metadata, a special Soliloquy slider post type for easy slider placement anywhere on the page, unlimited sliders (per page or global regardless), multisite compatibility, and amazing AJAX slider actions (smoother slider transitions and effects).
  504.  
  505. The slider operates on dynamic asynchronous image loading (AJAX power) which lets your images load brutally fast on all end user devices and browsers. It integrates right into WordPress admin dashboard, and you’re using Soliloquy features from within the WordPress interface to create, edit, and manage sliders as well as add image tags, metadata, and ALT tags up on slider image upload.
  506. <h2>6. Image Widget</h2>

  510.  
  511. WordPress widgets are cute, but not exactly what you’d call ‘packed with awesome features’. The Image widget, on the other hand, is a widget plugin which will showcase a widget as placed in a sidebar (by you) to display select images on your WordPress website front end.
  512.  
  513. All you have to do is drag and drop an image from either your WordPress media library or browse one from your current device for upload. Then you can select the image you want to display (from a directory on your device or from the library on WordPress) and place the widget in the sidebar of your choice. You can place as many Image widgets as you want, so portfolio owners with widgetized/ unlimited sidebar themes will love this simple, lightweight widget.
  514. <h2>7. Regenerate Thumbnails</h2>
  515. <strong>Source:</strong> WordPress Plugin Directory
  516.  
  517. Thumbnails are WordPress’ one way of letting you save your images in smaller than upload sizes. Depending on your theme, you may have various image thumbnail sizes, but when you add a new theme, it often happens that thumbnails for previous images are not regenerated in the new sizes, making them look all stretched out or simply unavailable for erstwhile available image thumbnails.
  518.  
  519. Regenerate thumbnails is a WordPress plugin that solves this issue in a jiffy. The plugin regenerates your image thumbnails and reloads them based on your current theme thumbnail sizes and specifications. The plugin is basic, and gives you three options for regenerating thumbnails based on number of image uploads (regenerate all images, single image, or specified (selected) images).
  520. <h2>8. Click to Tweet</h2>

  524.  
  525. Another social share button (without making everything tacky) is Click to Tweet, which works very nicely for performance optimized, lightweight WordPress portfolio websites for photographers.
  526.  
  527. The plugin adds a Click to Tweet button over your photographs which can configured to appear in a certain position and customized with CSS snippets. The plugin will also work on image descriptions, and let your visitors share images + descriptions with a single click or tap.

  532.  
  533. Pinterest is a photographer's/ photo lover’s heaven, and you absolutely must be present on this social media platform to share your work and thoughts with your fans and followers.
  534.  
  535. Since most social sharing buttons plugins are rather weighty (with chunky buttons for so many social platforms that you have no idea half of them even existed in the first place), the Pinterest Pin It Button for Images helps keep things simple and sophisticated (true style doesn’t need to be loud or tacky). It adds a simple Pinterest share button in an overlay on your images which shares your images (and links back to your site).

  540.  
  541. When Pinterest filled up with graphic designers, all the photographer residents of Pinterest made Instagram their new paradise. And you need to have a presence on this for your WordPress website.
  542.  
  543. The Simply Instagram plugin isn’t a social sharing plugin for your site visitors. Instead it’s an Instagram sharing plugin for you – the plugin lets you share select photos and entire streams from your connected Instagram profile on your WordPress portfolio website.
  544.  
  545. The plugin works with a shortcode that can be added within the post, pages, sidebars, and other widgets to display the Instagram photos/ steams / etc. anywhere on your WordPress website.

Since content management is at the front and center of the appeal of WordPress as a platform (it’s called Content Management System for a reason after all), it’s no surprise that countless photographers (freelance, entrepreneurs, agencies of all scales from startups to high-end photography) use WordPress websites in combination with some ironclad image theft (hotlink) prevention measures to showcase their photographs and project proudly.
  556.  
  557. Now, an attractive portfolio on WordPress needs just as understated (yet elegant and feature packed) a theme, but in case you don’t want a special WordPress portfolio theme for your website, you can use a combination of the following plugins to help you create, optimize, manage, and display your photographs with stylish elan.
  558.  
  559. Here is a list of 10 top WordPress plugins for Photographers.
  560. <h2>1. WP Smush</h2>

  564.  
  565. This insanely powerfully and hit plugin created by the well know developer team WPMUDEV is the image optimization tool you can’t do without in a WordPress portfolio website, theme or plugin based. The plugin is capable of optimizing your images with highly advanced lossless compression (Smushing) to reduce the image file sizes to up to 1 MB or smaller (from any standard web size). Brilliant features include JPEG/GIF/PNG compression, auto-compression on upload to the media library, manual smush (compression) in the media library (individual or in groups of 50 at a time), advanced compression stats, and more.
  566.  
  567. The plugin’s older, more powerful brother WP Smush Pro packs even more enhanced compression features (up to 2 to ten times more lossless compression), bulk compression ‘all’ images in the library, and many more.
  568.  
  569. It’s a remarkable plugin that’s sure to improve your performance scores and consequently SEO and search result ranks, and User experience in general.
  570. <h2>2. Yoast SEO</h2>

  574.  
  575. This SEO suite/ plugin is a classic. Every single WordPress user and their mother know about WordPress SEO by Yoast. Joost de Valk is a remarkably awesome developer indeed.
  576.  
  577. Yoast SEO is notable in this photographer specific WordPress plugin list because of its special image optimization features and open graph meta data (used by Facebook, Google+, Instagram and all major social media platforms to display shared content / pages properly). Using the plugin, you can let your site visitors share just your portfolio images right from the page, which will gradually culminate in more fame and traffic from social channels (and followers/ likers).

  583.  
  584. This caching plugin is the only hailed wide and far as the only performance optimization plugin you need for any WordPress website. It really is that amazing.
  585.  
  586. Since you are going to be dealing with a whole bucket load (and then some) quantities of image and media uploads, making sure that your portfolio website and all the pictures retain high-def quality yet still load super quickly becomes a priority. With W3 Total Cache, you can take care of performance issues with features like browser caching, progressive rendering (above the fold page area loads first to give an illusion of performance and keep the viewer engaged) and easy integration with 3rd party Content Delivery networks like MaxCDN, KeyCDN, etc.
  587.  
  588. Technical performance optimization features that go beyond image rendering (and lazy loading) include compression, minification, and caching of all markup (HTML), JavaScript, and CSS stylesheets.
  589.  
  590. This plugin is an absolute must, so make sure you get it set up early in the game to keep your WordPress website on the right side of the performance scale.

  595.

The interface (backend) is amazing where you can easily and without hassle, use the plugin to create highly responsive picture galleries. The plugin is performance optimized, has great animations and transitions, responds equally well on all device sizes and browsers, and even helps your pictures get indexed in search engines thanks to its built in SEO-optimization.

It’s almost a running joke: The only people still using desktops are the ones who have specialized stuff to do on it. For simply browsing for information online (and a lot more), more than half the netizens prefer smartphones and other mobile devices.
  677.  
  678. Essentially: This is the age of information readily available in digestible formats for all devices and screen sizes. This is why your website needs to be responsive.
  679.  
  680. Here are 4 tips to make your <a href="/wordpress/noteworthy-tips-mobile-optimized-wordpress-website/">WordPress website mobile friendly</a>, and it’s not as difficult as you think to go responsive:
  681. <h2>1. Responsive WordPress Themes</h2>
  682. The first, most obvious step on the way to make your WordPress website truly device agnostic is to get a responsive theme right off that bat. Doesn’t matter if it’s free or premium, tailor made by a custom WordPress development company or sold as a product to millions of WordPress users: The theme must, before everything else, be responsive.
  683.  
  684. WordPress defaults and WordPress.org Theme Repository (a kind of free theme garage) is packed with free responsive themes: Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Fifteen work just as beautifully on blogs as any premium blogging theme. Similarly, you will find responsive themes for every website niche on WordPress because developers here like to pace their steps with technological advances.
  685.  
  686. Check out Envato Market (ThemeForest.net) or other trusted theme sellers and you’ll see: Responsive themes are not a trend. They have a become second nature.
  687. <h2>2. ‘Mobile-friendliness’ Plugins</h2>
  688. WordPress can be made into whatever you need or want it to be with the help of plugins. Responsive is not an exception.
  689.  
  690. If you already have a fixed width (non-responsive) WordPress website up and running but don’t have a dedicated team of developers waiting at your beck and call, plugins will be your best friends. In this specific instance, you are going to need some truly awesome WordPress plugins which will: a.) Give you an alternate theme that works only on mobile devices, b.) let you create your own mobile template while the plugin itself provides only the function of detecting a mobile device and switching to mobile themes, or c.) Both.
  691.  
  692. WordPress Mobile Pack and WP Mobile Detector Mobile Plugin do one or the other, but both or equally well used and liked. Read the feature list carefully to make sure you get the right one.
  693. <h2>3. Maximize Performance</h2>
  694. For novices: Performance in this context means page loading speed. The faster your WordPress website performs, the better your cumulative user experience (and SEO output). Mobiles in general, don’t have the data transfer rate and bandwidths that come with powerful machines like desktops and laptops. This means that the already limited time constraint window (2 seconds or less) for the page to load is even more significant when your viewer is on mobile.
  695.  
  696. Make sure to test your WordPress website’s performance by using Pingdom or Google PageSpeed Insights. The latter of the two will also give you a mobile experience score and tips to fix responsiveness issues (you’ll need a developer for that).
  697.  
  698. Use a feather light theme, cut down the number of plugins you have installed on your WordPress website, optimize your multimedia – Images, videos, and more – during upload to WordPress Media Library, compress huge image sizes to a tenth or less with plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer plugins, use caching (W3 Total Cache does it all) and a CDN (also good for security on HTTP 2.0), and maintain your site regularly to prevent unsightly unmanageable pile up of spam and useless metadata. On a similar note, get the best web host you can find for your WordPress website and look up 3rd party video hosting and embedding if you’re going to use a lot of videos on your website content.
  699.  
  700. Get smart about performance If you lag behind, you’ll be forgotten faster than you can say your own domain name aloud.
  701. <h2>4. Minimize Illegibility</h2>
  702. Your WordPress website practically exists because you have a message to broadcast on the internet. If that message, and people’s ability to comprehend it, is compromised at any state, you have failed in your own purpose.
  703.  
  704. Make sure that the theme design and development supports a range of fonts that you can choose from. Now, choose only the clearest, legible fonts to publish text content on your website. This includes every bit of text: in your posts, comments, tags and descriptions, interface elements like menu tabs and links, and everything else.
  705.  
  706. The best combination of style, aesthetics, and usability results from tried and tested methods: white background with dark text is still easier on the eyes, formatting still rules, images break the monotony, and your fonts can be used to establish a brand image. If you must use overly stylized but barely legible scrawls, use them sparingly (in logos, 1-2 out of 10 links, etc.) to draw attention to those elements/ text.
  707.  
  708. Leave lots of white space and keep things clean to remove obstacles from viewers’ way.
  709.  
  710. <strong>Endnote</strong>
  711.  
  712. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

WordPress defaults and WordPress.org Theme Repository (a kind of free theme garage) is packed with free responsive themes: Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Fifteen work just as beautifully on blogs as any premium blogging theme. Similarly, you will find responsive themes for every website niche on WordPress because developers here like to pace their steps with technological advances.
  725.  
  726. Check out Envato Market (ThemeForest.net) or other trusted theme sellers and you’ll see: Responsive themes are not a trend. They have a become second nature.
  727. <h2>2. ‘Mobile-friendliness’ Plugins</h2>
  728. WordPress can be made into whatever you need or want it to be with the help of plugins. Responsive is not an exception.
  729.  
  730. If you already have a fixed width (non-responsive) WordPress website up and running but don’t have a dedicated team of developers waiting at your beck and call, plugins will be your best friends. In this specific instance, you are going to need some truly awesome WordPress plugins which will: a.) Give you an alternate theme that works only on mobile devices, b.) let you create your own mobile template while the plugin itself provides only the function of detecting a mobile device and switching to mobile themes, or c.) Both.
  731.  
  732. WordPress Mobile Pack and WP Mobile Detector Mobile Plugin do one or the other, but both or equally well used and liked. Read the feature list carefully to make sure you get the right one.
  733. <h2>3. Maximize Performance</h2>
  734. For novices: Performance in this context means page loading speed. The faster your WordPress website performs, the better your cumulative user experience (and SEO output). Mobiles in general, don’t have the data transfer rate and bandwidths that come with powerful machines like desktops and laptops. This means that the already limited time constraint window (2 seconds or less) for the page to load is even more significant when your viewer is on mobile.
  735.  
  736. Make sure to test your WordPress website’s performance by using Pingdom or Google PageSpeed Insights. The latter of the two will also give you a mobile experience score and tips to fix responsiveness issues (you’ll need a developer for that).
  737.  
  738. Use a feather light theme, cut down the number of plugins you have installed on your WordPress website, optimize your multimedia – Images, videos, and more – during upload to WordPress Media Library, compress huge image sizes to a tenth or less with plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer plugins, use caching (W3 Total Cache does it all) and a CDN (also good for security on HTTP 2.0), and maintain your site regularly to prevent unsightly unmanageable pile up of spam and useless metadata. On a similar note, get the best web host you can find for your WordPress website and look up 3rd party video hosting and embedding if you’re going to use a lot of videos on your website content.
  739.  
  740. Get smart about performance If you lag behind, you’ll be forgotten faster than you can say your own domain name aloud.
  741. <h2>4. Minimize Illegibility</h2>
  742. Your WordPress website practically exists because you have a message to broadcast on the internet. If that message, and people’s ability to comprehend it, is compromised at any state, you have failed in your own purpose.
  743.  
  744. Make sure that the theme design and development supports a range of fonts that you can choose from. Now, choose only the clearest, legible fonts to publish text content on your website. This includes every bit of text: in your posts, comments, tags and descriptions, interface elements like menu tabs and links, and everything else.
  745.  
  746. The best combination of style, aesthetics, and usability results from tried and tested methods: white background with dark text is still easier on the eyes, formatting still rules, images break the monotony, and your fonts can be used to establish a brand image. If you must use overly stylized but barely legible scrawls, use them sparingly (in logos, 1-2 out of 10 links, etc.) to draw attention to those elements/ text.
  747.  
  748. Leave lots of white space and keep things clean to remove obstacles from viewers’ way.
  749.  
  750. <strong>Endnote</strong>
  751.  
  752. That wasn’t so hard, was it?
  753.  
  754. These basic but often overlooked steps should help you get started on the road to responsiveness and reach out to a wider audience than ever before. Make sure to share your thoughts and tips with us in the comments below.]]>

There are many security processes that are used to save the WordPress, such as changing the admin URL, while to put a firewall has been related by only a few webmasters owing to either the deficiency of learning about firewall or the security matters of the process.

  909.  
  910. Firewall is a program which is at every point of Internet. It monitors the data is flowing carefully. Firewall is following some rules. These rules are set by the network administrator to allow traffic to the web servers, FTP servers, Telnet servers. The rules will decide who can connect to the Internet, what kind of connections can be made through, which or what kind of files can be transmitted in. All the traffic in and out can be watched and controlled by firewall installer at a high level and security.
  911.  
  912. Firewalls can shift the data flow for the macthing of keywords to block the unwanted data which is flowing in.

  925.        <li>The main aim of personal firewall is to protect the personal computer and private computer from vriuses</li>

  929. <ul>
  930.        <li>A firewall cannot prevent users with modems from dialing in to or out of the internal network.</li>
  931.        <li>It cannot protect from inside attacks.</li>
  932.        <li>Firewalls are planned to allow unwanted data transmission to and from your network. While this can protect your system from intruction.</li>
  933.        <li>Firewall policies can be restrictive and which can limit users from performing several operations.</li>
  934.        <li>A firewall cannot apply your password policy or against misuse of passwords. Your password policy is crucial because it draws the acceptable conduct and sets the structure of indifferent.</li>
  935.        <li>A firewall cannot protect against any attacks which pass around the firewall. Many association buy cheap firewalls, but neglect the numerous other back from the network.</li>
  936.        <li>A firewall does not protect against internal threats from traitors. An attacker in any case be able to break into the network by completely around the firewall.</li>
  937.        <li>Firewall can't protect against drilling over the most application protocols.</li>
  938.        <li>Firewall cannot protect you from poor decisions.</li>
  939.        <li>Firewalls cannot protect you when your security policy is too lacking.</li>
  940. </ul>
  941. <strong>WordPress Website Firewall Limitations</strong>
  942.  
  943. Online website firewalls are similar to any other software. They can have their own problems and security flaws.
  944.  
  945. <strong>WordPress is still reachable by attackers</strong>
  946.  
  947. When you are using an online web application for WordPress, your web server has to be available over the internet for the WAF to forward the traffic to your WordPress.
  948.  
  949. <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Communication-Flow-When-accessing-via-IP-or-DNS.png" rel="attachment wp-att-928"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-928" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Communication-Flow-When-accessing-via-IP-or-DNS.png" alt="Communication Flow When accessing via IP or DNS" width="532" height="427" /></a>
  950.  
  951. <strong>Limited Zero Day Vulnerability Protection</strong>
  952.  
  953. A zero-day vulnerability is a deficiency that leaves software, hardware or firmware powerless against an attack that take place the very same day the vulnerability is found. Such an attack is called a zero-day exploit it means that there are zero days between the time the vulnerability is notice and the first attack.
  954.  
  955. In such cases the replying of the vendor is very critical. The response time is how long it takes the vendor to update the WordPress website firewall signatures to be able to detect the new vulnerability and block it.
  956.  
  957. Wordpress security is not to be taken indifferent. Firewalls are a huge way to add an additional layer of setting to the security tray. Firewall protects from all kinds of unwanted data and allow taking control of the computers. It is a  standalone system. It is having a set of rules for your requirements and security of the computers.]]>

  998. <strong>WordPress Website Firewall Limitations</strong>
  999.  
  1000. Online website firewalls are similar to any other software. They can have their own problems and security flaws.
  1001.  
  1002. <strong>WordPress is still reachable by attackers</strong>
  1003.  
  1004. When you are using an online web application for WordPress, your web server has to be available over the internet for the WAF to forward the traffic to your WordPress.
  1005.  
  1006. <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Communication-Flow-When-accessing-via-IP-or-DNS.png" rel="attachment wp-att-928"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-928" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Communication-Flow-When-accessing-via-IP-or-DNS.png" alt="Communication Flow When accessing via IP or DNS" width="532" height="427" /></a>
  1007.  
  1008. <strong>Limited Zero Day Vulnerability Protection</strong>
  1009.  
  1010. A zero-day vulnerability is a deficiency that leaves software, hardware or firmware powerless against an attack that take place the very same day the vulnerability is found. Such an attack is called a zero-day exploit it means that there are zero days between the time the vulnerability is notice and the first attack.
  1011.  
  1012. In such cases the replying of the vendor is very critical. The response time is how long it takes the vendor to update the WordPress website firewall signatures to be able to detect the new vulnerability and block it.
  1013.  
  1014. Wordpress security is not to be taken indifferent. Firewalls are a huge way to add an additional layer of setting to the security tray. Firewall protects from all kinds of unwanted data and allow taking control of the computers. It is a  standalone system. It is having a set of rules for your requirements and security of the computers.]]>

  1433.  
  1434. Now is the time to build refreshing landing pages that will make you customers go banana over your website and this is obviously for the benefit of your website.
  1435.  
  1436. <strong style="line-height: 1.5;">1. Highly Effective Headline</strong>
  1437.  
  1438. <em>"Do not judge a book by its cover."</em>
  1439.  
  1440. We know this quotation, and now most of the people follow it, but it is quite evident that people do get influenced by the title of a book.
  1441.  
  1442. Well, I was very much intrigued by the title "Life after death" and this was the title effect alone that compelled me to purchase the book. Similarly, to make highly attractive web pages.
  1443.  
  1444. A headline is a mainstay when it comes to your website. From a headline only you get to engage the users attention and introduce your project. It is the most critical thing that decides the fate of you are landing page.
  1445.  
  1446. Here are the following points which needs to pay attention while writing headlines for your landing pages.
  1447. <ul>
  1448.        <li>Your headline must not be mundane</li>
  1449.        <li>Your headline must talk about your product and service in a very subtle way</li>
  1450.        <li>Moreover, you need to keep certainly in mind that your images must suffice to what you need to convey in your title.</li>
  1451.        <li>Make it crisp yet clear, use not more than 20 words else you will become a verbose</li>
  1452. </ul>
  1453. <strong>2.  Subheadline must reinforce</strong>
  1454.  
  1455. Now as we know that the headline of a web page makes the web page credible enough for the users to go through it and it is the sub-heading that further reinforces your users that you have made the correct choice. It must be attractive enough as it is placed just beneath your headline.
  1456.  
  1457. Though your subheading must be highly persuasive, it must also fuel up the idea that you have put forth in your heading. You must remember that subheadings are a detailed version of your heading, but it would be better if it reinforces what you are saying.
  1458.  
  1459. <strong>3. Persuasive Pictures</strong>
  1460.  
  1461. Regardless to mention, that human brain has the utmost liking for images and they process them faster than the text.
  1462.  
  1463. Therefore, make sure to follow the following features:
  1464. <ul>
  1465.        <li>Use big and imposing images</li>
  1466.        <li>Use images that are relevant to the products or services you are selling.</li>
  1467.        <li>For those who are rendering services must make sure that it is eye catching</li>
  1468.        <li>Use HD or high-quality, scalable images.</li>
  1469. </ul>
  1470. <strong>4. What's in it for the customers?</strong>
  1471.  
  1472. One of the biggest examples of this is those people who claim to reduce your weight within four weeks or help you to achieve the desired skin tone within two weeks.
  1473.  
  1474. This is the quality that intrigues the customer and compels them to purchase the product. Thus, when it comes to landing pages, you need to incorporate certainly this element as this can help you attain phenomenal results.
  1475.  
  1476. Mostly try to assure the customers that the services that you offer have incredible things to offer.
  1477.  
  1478. <strong style="line-height: 1.5;">5. Logical Flow</strong>
  1479.  
  1480. To convince someone or in short persuade them to come and buy or choose their services you need to give logic. Logic of:
  1481. <ul>
  1482.        <li>How your services are better than the contemporaries?</li>
  1483.        <li>What all benefits one can reap if they choose you?</li>
  1484.        <li>How are you choosing the reliable services?</li>
  1485.        <li>And many more...</li>
  1486. </ul>
  1487. All in all, you need to form a logical flow that interconnects and attests each and every statement you speak of on the very page.
  1488.  
  1489. Use proper usage and placement of images which will help you to render a more effect logical coherence and in short a more imposing impact on your visitors.
  1490.  
  1491. <strong style="line-height: 1.5;">6. Lay stress on your Call to Action</strong>
  1492.  
  1493. For those who are still on the pattern of using "Submit" or "Contact us" button need to revise their strategies. Believe it or not 'Calls to action' are important and have a serious impact on the conversion rate of your website. This is because they have a great cognitive impact on the users brain.
  1494.  
  1495. Thus, no matter how good you design your landing pages, you will face defeat if you do not have a good Call To Action button on your landing page. So why to ruin the efforts applied to designing landing pages when you can save them by presenting a good CTA.

Moreover, when it comes to  designing or web designing there are no stringent protocols which you need to follow as everything is dependent on liking. This is why you can experiment the most in order to bring out the most effective design. However, there are certain mistakes which are to be avoided while designing your business logo which also happens to be the marketing symbol for your business.
  1573. <ol>
  1574.        <li><strong style="line-height: 1.5;"><em>Copy cats are discouraged</em></strong></li>
  1575. </ol>
  1576. With huge demands, employees are under a great pressure of meeting requirements and this is why they do not add creativity to their work but just rehash the content already present. This happens same with logos as well, which is something which must be avoided. Moreover, this is also because business owners do not deem logo to be very important for their business. Wherefore, they go for crowdsourcing,  for logos and this is where the best logo wins and the rest of them are shunned.
  1577.  
  1578. Moreover, copying any other logo won't be tolerated by the creator himself and will also mar your market image.
  1579. <ol start="2">
  1580.        <li><strong><em>Be choosy while choosing colors </em></strong></li>
  1581. </ol>
  1582. Colors have a deep cognitive impact on the users and thus, one needs to be quite choosy while picking up the colors. Though there is no criteria or rule for picking up the hues for your logo, thus you can choose any color scheme as long it is soothing to your eyes. You can choose any of the vibrant colors that can carve a good image of your business in front of the users.
  1583.  
  1584. In order to help the designers, there are numerous tools available online such as Adobe's Color which helps you with the color spectrum and helps you to create color schemes which you can check before using them in your logos. Though you can be quite innovative while picking up color schemes for your logos, but it should not be incongruous to your websites color pattern which is one of the most down selling point.
  1585. <ol start="3">
  1586.        <li><strong><em>Simplicity is the best policy</em></strong></li>
  1587. </ol>
  1588. Simple things are the most attractive things. This is why I recommend you to develop simple logos as they grab the attention of the users. The market is flooded with numerous catchy designs and among them your simple design will certainly have a strong impact. Simplicity adds versatility to your logos which implies that they have the capacity to be used in more number. As a logo is used even in a very small size as well on billboards which require them to be very large.
  1589. <ol start="4">
  1590.        <li><strong><em>Unnecessarily inclusions</em></strong></li>
  1591. </ol>
  1592. Using certain special symbols such as elements that are not required in a logo must be avoided. For instance, the inclusion of things like “L.L.C.”,“Co.”,“Inc.” and several others in a logo must be avoided. However, an adaptation of the main logo might contain symbols such as Copyright (©), Registration symbol (®), Trademark (TM) or other is alright. Including unnecessary times is certainly distracting the images of the users.
  1593. <ol start="5">
  1594.        <li><strong><em>Typographic chaos</em></strong></li>
  1595. </ol>
  1596. Typography has a very important role to play in logo design and if not used subtly can tarnish all your efforts of designing a logo. Moreover, try to adopt simplicity for your logos which does not mean that you need to keep them low profile, but it is advised to keep them simple and can be comprehended.
  1597.  
  1598. In order to make your logo that stands different in front of your users you need to make sure that you do not use clichéd and boring fonts. Moreover, using more than one font also falling the category of something which needs to be avoided. You need to pay attention to spacing, sizing and kerning while using some text in your logo.
  1599. <ol start="6">
  1600.        <li><strong><em>Using raster images</em></strong></li>
  1601. </ol>
  1602. In order to get a credible logo you need to use programs which render vector graphics and these Softwares' are  Adobe Illustrator which makes sure to the users that designed logo comes out to be a highly scalable one and can be enlarged up to any size, which enables the users to be applied in any media. A vector graphic is developed after sheer precision and stress is laid on  mathematical points, and this is what is responsible for the visual consistency of the logos when displayed across a wide range of  devices with different size and orientations.
  1603.  
  1604. A raster image is made of  pixels, as in Photoshop we have pixel-based designs and the worst part about them is that they are not elastic which means that when enlarged they pixelate and cannot be used when the size of the device increases. This is why vector graphics images are used in order to create high profile logos.
  1605. <ol start="7">
  1606.        <li><strong><em>Have a proper discretion towards the inputs</em></strong></li>
  1607. </ol>
  1608. Why a client has hired you in the first place? Certainly he takes you as a professional and wants you to do accomplish his task on his behalf. Thus, it's advised you to take control of the project rather than letting the client take control of it. It is incumbent on you to tell the client that whether any particular idea is not good enough to be incorporated in your website. If you clients still do not agree on it, then to convince them by giving examples. You can send them similar examples which can help them understand what you are trying to say. This is the only way to make them realize that their suggestions have some pitfalls and therefore need some tweaks. Along with that you also need to know that being a designer does not make you the immaculate. So do not just reject your client's proposal just because you have a good experience.]]>

For instance, the inclusion of things like “L.L.C.”,“Co.”,“Inc.” and several others in a logo must be avoided. However, an adaptation of the main logo might contain symbols such as Copyright (©), Registration symbol (®), Trademark (TM) or other is alright. Including unnecessary times is certainly distracting the images of the users.

  1634. Typography has a very important role to play in logo design and if not used subtly can tarnish all your efforts of designing a logo. Moreover, try to adopt simplicity for your logos which does not mean that you need to keep them low profile, but it is advised to keep them simple and can be comprehended.

  1636. In order to make your logo that stands different in front of your users you need to make sure that you do not use clichéd and boring fonts. Moreover, using more than one font also falling the category of something which needs to be avoided. You need to pay attention to spacing, sizing and kerning while using some text in your logo.

  1640. In order to get a credible logo you need to use programs which render vector graphics and these Softwares' are  Adobe Illustrator which makes sure to the users that designed logo comes out to be a highly scalable one and can be enlarged up to any size, which enables the users to be applied in any media. A vector graphic is developed after sheer precision and stress is laid on  mathematical points, and this is what is responsible for the visual consistency of the logos when displayed across a wide range of  devices with different size and orientations.

  1642. A raster image is made of  pixels, as in Photoshop we have pixel-based designs and the worst part about them is that they are not elastic which means that when enlarged they pixelate and cannot be used when the size of the device increases. This is why vector graphics images are used in order to create high profile logos.

  1646. Why a client has hired you in the first place? Certainly he takes you as a professional and wants you to do accomplish his task on his behalf. Thus, it's advised you to take control of the project rather than letting the client take control of it. It is incumbent on you to tell the client that whether any particular idea is not good enough to be incorporated in your website. If you clients still do not agree on it, then to convince them by giving examples. You can send them similar examples which can help them understand what you are trying to say. This is the only way to make them realize that their suggestions have some pitfalls and therefore need some tweaks. Along with that you also need to know that being a designer does not make you the immaculate. So do not just reject your client's proposal just because you have a good experience.]]>
