Short thoughts, work in progress, lessons learned, & the occasional personal update.
I’ve tried the more popular ones, but Basecamp is still one of the most straightforward tools out there.
Btw I’m almost done with a new post on how I onboard client projects using it.
Since I left my corporate job last year to go full-time freelancing, I’ve been putting a lot more effort into this website.
Just added a new post and it got indexed almost immediately.
Got my new earbuds from Anker and I’m really liking the noise cancellation so far. Been using the one from Baseus for 2 years and it finally needed a replacement.
Looks small but this pair really helps when I need to focus.
My WP Booking System review is now showing up in AI Overviews and SERP, just like my Bricks Builder one. Been ranking for both too.
Found some old clips of my website designs done on Adobe XD. Different versions of my site over the past 10 years. A lot of testing and trial and error. It’s been a journey.
Had to switch to Figma with all the issues around XD being phased out.
I can’t remember if they’re going to post recordings of the 2-day event, but I was still able to gather some insights from my phone and memory 🙂
Here’s the new blog about HighLevel Live Manila.
Since I’ve already added more than 10 notes, I can say I’m really liking this new feature on my website.
See the full post on why I added microblogging to this website.
Nah maybe a discount 😅
But seriously, if you’re going with WordPress, at least use a solid page builder like Bricks (my bias), Beaver, Divi, or Elementor. Launching a site is just a small part of it.
Building new pages and optimizing over time is the long game, and your site builder matters for that.
Looking at these skylight photos all day got me thinking. What’s it like living in a house with a transparent roof like that? Then I imagined having one here in PH. Sounds great when it rains. Then summer hits 😂
jk, these skylights are actually automated and packed with features.
WPBakery might be the only page builder where the experience is equally rough whether you’re using backend or frontend editing. Divi handles this way better.
Sorry, I keep comparing these two because they both offer both modes, but the quality gap is real. Credit to the Divi team for getting that right!
I just realized I wasn’t able to record everything. Now I’m trying to piece together all the info I remember and the photos I have.
The insights they shared were pretty overwhelming 😅
I have an urgent page build using WPBakery. Although we have a 1-week deadline, I’m confident I can deliver. But seriously, at least give us a custom CSS field per widget. Even Divi has that!
I’m not really the type to rant about tools I use for work. I get that every builder is built differently. But every time I have a project using this one, it just takes so much longer than it should.
You know, one thing that still bugs me is not asking my old clients to leave their review on my Google Business page.
I just collected them through email or other apps. Should’ve known better 😬
You know what makes doing this stuff worth it? People who still remember you and refer you even if you haven’t spoken in a long time!
Just got an inquiry! Turns out someone I spoke with 2 years ago referred them. As a small service provider, that kind of thing means a lot 🙂
Late night timelapse of us getting things done. I don’t know why, but I always feel more productive at night.
Also, I just recently got that standing desk, and I can’t appreciate enough how helpful it is when you’re getting older 😂
See those long page designs? It’s still Wednesday but I guess I’m gonna be working even on the weekend 🥲
I’m not sure if this is just me, but handling web projects + creating content at the same time is kinda stressful.
Especially when you’re working on it alone. Still grateful for it though.
Finally set up a quick way to share thoughts on my site. Not everything needs to be a full blog post.
New blog about this feature coming soon!
You know your website could be doing more. Good web design goes beyond looking professional. It gets your site found on Google and AI search, and turns visitors into real leads.
You know it needs attention, but you’re busy running your business. It keeps getting pushed down the list.
Your business has grown, your services have changed, but your website still shows who you were two or three years ago.
Word of mouth is great, but when someone looks you up and your site doesn’t reflect your work, they move on.
Every page we build has a purpose: help visitors understand what you do and give them a reason to reach out.
SEO and AI visibility aren’t add-ons. They’re part of how I structure your content and your pages from the start.
I set things up so you can update your site easily. No need to wait on anyone for simple changes.
Egoy was very easy to work with. He was exceptionally responsive and professional. I was very impressed with the overall quality and finish of our website design. Would highly recommend his services.
A few recent builds across different industries.
Your site is designed around your brand, your audience, and what your business actually needs.
Phone, tablet, desktop. Your site works everywhere and loads quick.
Your content is structured so Google and AI search tools can find and recommend your business.
I’ll walk you through how to manage your site before handoff. No waiting on anyone for simple updates.
Updates, security, backups, and fixes after launch. You’re not on your own.
He is very easy to communicate with, listens carefully to what you want, and goes the extra mile to make sure everything turns out even better than expected.
The output was more polished, engaging, and aligned with our goals. There was also a clear boost in efficiency and customer engagement after implementing his work.
No complicated process. Just a straightforward way to get your site done right.
You share what your business does, who your customers are, and what you want the site to do. I ask questions so I really get it.
I handle the design and development. You get updates along the way, and we review together before anything goes public. No surprises.
Your site goes live ready to perform. I walk you through how to manage it, and you have support for the first 3 months so nothing catches you off guard.
Most designers hand you the keys and move on. I stick around to make sure your website keeps working for your business.
I’ll take a look at your current site and show you what’s working, what’s not, and what to fix first.
Straight answers to the questions I hear most.
Every project is a bit different depending on what your business needs. After we talk, I’ll send you a clear quotation that breaks everything down so there are no surprises. I’d rather give you an accurate number than a generic price range that doesn’t mean anything.
Most projects take around 2 to 8 weeks from start to launch, depending on the scope. I’ll share a timeline before we begin so you know what to expect at each stage.
Yes, and I want you to feel comfortable doing it. I build on a platform that’s easy to manage, and before handoff, I’ll walk you through how to update text, swap images, and add new pages. If you get stuck later on, you can always reach out.
I will review your current site for speed, mobile experience, SEO basics, and how well it’s set up to bring in leads. You’ll get a summary of what’s working, what needs attention, and a few quick wins we can act on right away, even before starting a full project. It’s a good way to see where your site stands without any commitment.
Working with Egoy has been very good. Responsive, knowledgeable and very helpful I feel that I'm in good hands.
My website is well looked after and it's attractive! I get a lot of comments on my website and it's all thanks to Egoy!
I just went there hoping to learn something new, but the 2-day event turned out…
Creating content as a solo freelancer wasn’t sustainable. Microblogging on my own website keeps things…
As a small service provider and a freelancer, I don’t have a big marketing budget.…
