My 2 cents:
Everyone is normal, but be kind. Just be more of yourself, and be kind. Your vibe attracts your tribe (you won't please everyone).
I love reading the book `The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success', by Deepak Chopra.
(Think of success as meaning happiness.)
It's a tiny book (7 chapters) and takes about an hour to read.
If you go outside in the fresh air and read it, I expect you will feel a little calmer afterwards.
It reminds us that life tends to be a spiritual game and some things seem to come our way if we help them go to others first. Of course, we all have different beliefs.
Seek and you will find. You are not alone.
And just because I have this opinion doesn't mean that my life is perfect or blissful. It just means that we can all step back and take a deep breath and focus on what's important at the end of the day.

Trying to be liked is a waste of time. High five! Group hug!!

I recommend you Google/Bing for web hosts.
I made a decision based on location, supporting a newer UK company (I expect to move back to the UK in the future), plus especially the offer of free SSL after struggling to justify being charged $65 for SSL for each of my 3 domains with my previous and occasionally temperamental web host. (2 of those old domains simply point to my main one.)

Go with your needs. I'm all for supporting companies if you feel the enthusiasm, but I don't think that a forum like this is the place to advertise or spam them. Spam tends to take over pretty quickly.
Just my 2 cents though. It's all good, and good luck.

I think it's a good site. Nicely done.

You don’t need to pay for privacy on Whois anymore. Your details will not appear in the report.
That doesn’t mean people won’t be able to find out who you are or where you live, it just won’t be so easy.
If you want privacy don’t use the internet for anything. But even then, it’s possible for many online services to hold a lot of personal data about you. And sell it on to advertisers and other data management businesses.

The best advice I got is to write, and keep writing, every day. You'll suck at first but eventually you'll start to write well. If you want to cover a lot of topics, start keeping well organised notes. You can't be an expert in everything, but you should be able to write interesting content on a broad range of topics. 

Use a whois service to find out where the domain is registered. You then contact the registrar and get a login to your control panel. You can then set up redirects from the old site to new - this will help retain all your ranking.
If you need help with this let me know - no charge for the service as it's a simple thing to do once you know how to do it.

Microdata is about layering context to the information found on any given page. Beyond featured snippets, it's there to help search engines gather a better understanding as to the content provided and how the information connects together at a site wide level.
For example a directory listing businesses can turn each div result into a "LocalBusiness", highlighting the "address", "telephone", "website" and "openinghours". This means the search engines need not guess what content belongs together, and by marking the page as a "SearchResultsPage" it now has a clearer idea what the purpose of the page is, it would see 10 businesses listed on a SearchResultsPage which is about that business type in that area.
If you want some sites to scan drop me a personal message, I can give you live examples so you can see it's capability.  

What you use really does depend on the page in question. I don't go for WebSite myself (unless referring to another website) but I start with what type of page it is eg. WebPage, AboutPage, ContactPage etc.
It's a big subject, if looking to dip your toe in with articles then How to Boost Your SEO by Using Schema Markup by Neil Patel is not a bad place to start.
The thing to remember with microdata is it's about marking up what's relevant, making entities such as an article or site navigational element.

I thought this might interest some of you. It's in beta I believe.

Web development will always have difficult problems to solve, unless you get to a level and just give up on moving forwards.  If you learn enough to become a junior you can just stay at that level, but you'll never earn much and the projects will get boring.  If you push yourself to continually progress then you're always going to feel somewhat out of your depth.  That's how I felt with every new role I've taken on - the development tasks have got progressively harder.  I'm sure if I somehow went to Google as a principal engineer I'd be well out of my depth.

I think the trick is to make small incremental steps.  What you find hard now will be bread and butter in a year's time.  If you take too big a leap you will struggle and not enjoy things.  Also don't be afraid to ask others.  If I'm faced with a problem that I'm struggling to solve in work that I can't find any answers too I will ask others, a key skill of a developer is ability to collaborate with others, when faced with a particularly difficult story a group of us might mob on a problem.  We might even spike out some ideas just to flesh out what we might do.

You have to be at peace with the fact you will face many problems that you don't immediately know how to solve so you have to use the various tools at your disposal to figure them out.  Also there's nothing wrong with being faced with a problem that is well out of your area of expertise and passing it onto somebody else who works in that area, this is especially common with teams of specialists, no one person is expected to know everything.

Hi Grant, 
Thank you for your comments, I'll take these on board, and take a look at fiver or possibly a redesign in house.

So IE and Edge get somewhere between 5-10% usage in the UK.  Edge is actually pretty decent browser and Microsoft of late have been releasing some really good software (some of it for free!) like VS Code which is so good it's now my editor of choice pushing out Atom and Webstorm.  Good things are going to be coming out from Microsoft over the next few years.  Watch this space…

It all depends on where those visitors are coming from.
That being said, none on the webpages are easy to use. You have to do a lot of scrolling to get to anything useful and all those animations are just annoying.
And where is the evidence that you are the Top Rated Web Design Agency?
And the content is all about you and not about how you can help me. You offer 6 services but I don't yet know what I want. I need you to suggest the best strategy. So rather than offering Branding as a standalone service, your homepage should be about the benefits of using a service provider to build a business.

Bit late perhaps, all I have to contribute to is the grammar issues lol
 
Like the caps where no caps should be;
The Brands we have Worked with aren’t just projects, they’re Friends we met on our Journey
Should be?;
The brands we have worked with aren’t just projects, they’re friends we met on our journey
And pop an S in size; and actually remove the last s, work is plural in context
WE WORK WITH COMPANIES OF ALL SIZE. HERE IS THE BEST OF OUR WORKS!
WE WORK WITH COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES. HERE IS THE BEST OF OUR WORK!

I did notice that, I stopped to have a good read of the SEO services and there's not enough there to tell me anything useful. It would be good to expand on your "8-step in-depth approach to SEO", simple headings like "Comprehensive Keyword and Market Research" doesn't say much, what does the client get and how does this benefit them in the short and long term? How comprehensive and do you track their competitors?
As @fisicx points out it's also about where the traffic is coming from, for example look under referrals and see how much is coming from say this forum, and then see how many of those have a higher drop off rate. It would also be good to block your own traffic from reporting, all to often I see a high bounce on a clients site and it turn out it's them "seeing where they are in Google" and clicking their result. The other data to check on is duration of visit per page, which are keeping the visitor finding out more and which have a lower duration to see if the content is answering their question. Always ask yourself "what is the purpose of this page?" and "what am I here to find out when visiting this page?", and these questions are on a page by page basis and not site wide.
The pop up chat is far too big plus looks like a poll. In addition whilst reading a page it popped up right over the bit I was reading. If it needs to be there fine, maybe cut it down to a small speech bubble with "Welcome to Dezvolta, how can we help?" or something.
Lastly the play button on the home page opens a video in a new window taking them away from your website! Probably better to use something like a light box to play?
Edit: Forgot to ask; what would you consider a conversion?

`You get used to it. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead..'

So not many people are overly impressed with my accomplishment this morning. I spent an hour looking through the backend files, looking for a piece of code to change the colour of a box, on this WordPress plugin. It took me a while to find the file... I eventually realized there was, in fact, an easier way to find it.
Anyway, just one tiny button & I'm still to find a few other things, but still, I feel like I've conquered a small planet 😂

I use this awesome resource:

Just search for the character you want and you get all possible formats

usually the name because it's easier to remember - use ndashes a lot (number ranges etc) and easier to for others to understand

I don't eat any snacks while working, but I do enjoy a hot cup of coffee!

Doh! I would have thought it would have passed. They approved my gaming site :s
