Visiting Windsor Before the Royal Wedding: A Guide, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will

wed this spring just outside London, but why wait for the crowds to descend to soak up

the royal atmosphere?

You don't need an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding on May 19 to

enjoy the ancient castle where they plan to marry, or to attend services at the Gothic

chapel where they will say their vows.

The wedding is to take place in Windsor, west of London, about 40 minutes to an hour by

train.

You can figure out what works best for your schedule, including whether you want to travel

by bus, at Tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey.

Alternatively, you can drive (it's about 50 minutes to an hour by car) though you'll

have to park in town as there's no visitor parking at the castle.

Tour companies also offer trips to Windsor from London (see below).

The ceremony will be held in St. George's Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle — built

more than 900 years ago, it is the oldest occupied castle in the world — and the place

where the queen spends most of her weekends.

Services at the chapel are free and open to anyone.

If, however, you want to visit the chapel (and not attend services), you must buy a

ticket at the Windsor Castle admissions office (2018 prices are £21.20 for adults, or about

$28.30; £19.30 for students with ID and those over 60; £12:30 for disabled visitors and

children under 17; free for children under 5; £54.70 for a family of two adults and

three children under 17; prices are reduced when the State Apartments are closed).

(Note that you cannot take photographs inside St. George's Chapel.)

Also keep in mind that Windsor is a working castle, so expect airport-style security.

Prince Harry is hardly the first royal to marry in the chapel, which dates to the 15th

century.

There have been more than a dozen royal weddings there, including that of Prince of Wales (later

Edward VII) and Princess Alexandra of Denmark more than 150 years ago, in 1863.

In 2005 the chapel was the site of a service of prayer and dedication after the marriage

of the Prince of Wales (Prince Harry's father) and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

One of Prince Harry's uncles, as well as the Prince's cousin, were also married at

St. George's Chapel, in 1999 and 2008, respectively.

While the chapel is on the grounds of Windsor Castle, the Queen attends services at St.

George's only for certain celebrations and occasions, like an annual Easter morning service.

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their wedding date, news reports said hotel

rooms were being snapped up in and around Windsor for the occasion.

The Evening Standard reported that "rooms everywhere from budget inns to luxury hotels

saw royalist tourists purchasing whatever was on offer."

This time of year you can find availability and reasonable rates for favorite area hotels

and inns, like the Sir Christopher Wren and the Winning Post.

Though it's not necessary to stay overnight — a day trip from London is more than enough

time to see the sights in Windsor; even half a day can make for a nice visit.

Windsor is the sort of destination ideal for a day tour from London, which will also streamline

the admission process.

If you want to visit the chapel, just be sure that any tour you take allows for that and

isn't scheduled for a Sunday, when the chapel is closed to visitors with the exception of

those attending services.

Companies like Golden Tours offer day trips that include a visit to the chapel.

You can also book a trip through London's tourism website, VisitLondon.com, which has

tours to Windsor Castle, including St. George's Chapel and Queen Mary's Dolls' House,

built in the 1920s and complete with a teeny tiny library, stocked wine cellar and working

elevators.

Nearby, in the Home Park of Windsor Castle, is the more than 300-year-old Frogmore House,

a royal retreat that was the home of Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent,

for nearly 20 years — though it's open to visitors for only a few days in the spring.

(Groups of 15 or more that book in advance may also visit in August.)

Less exclusive is Legoland Windsor Resort, a theme park — Lego royals included — about

an eight-to-10-minute drive from Windsor Castle.

(If you really want to immerse yourself, there's the Legoland Castle Hotel with "knights"

and "wizard" theme rooms, and the Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel.)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will live at Nottingham Cottage, according to a statement

from Clarence House.

The Cottage, where they became engaged, and where Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess

of Cambridge, lived when they were first married, is on the grounds of Kensington Palace in

London.

Parts of the palace, such as the gardens and the King's State Apartments, are open to the

public (online ticket prices are £15.50 for adults;

best choice for 1080p gaming in terms of bang for your buck I will link all of

the parts in this video in the description so be sure to check those

out if you're interested if you want to see more PC build guides tech tips tech

news and tech reviews be sure to subscribe to my channel and enable

notifications with the bell icon so that you never miss a video so let's get

started so for the processor I've gone with the Ryzen 3 1200 this is a

quad core it's got a base clock of 3.1 gigahertz and boost up to 3.4 gigahertz

this means it is fast and should perform well in game the processor can also

be overclocked if you want to have a clock or process so you need to buy a

b350 motherboard if you don't want to overclock you can

go with an a320 motherboard these are cheaper but they don't support

overclocking so for the motherboard we have either an a320 motherboard who

aren't interested an overclocking alternatively I will link up b350

motherboard as well in case you are interested in overclocking the processor t

For the RAM we've got 8 gigabytes of ddr4 this is plenty for most modern triple-a titles and if

you do need more for example if you want to do some light video editing

then you can upgrade easily and cheaply to 16 gigabytes so for storage we have

7200 rpm one terabyte hard drive 7200 rpm means that it is faster than the

lower-end 5400 rpm hard drives one terabyte is enough space for your OS

plenty of games and plenty of files so for the power supply I've gone with an

80 plus certified power supply from reputable manufacturer this is a very

important because the power supply is responsible for supplying power to

components it is almost like the heart of your computer if it fails other parts

can be damaged in the process it's very important that you choose a reliable and

efficient power supply the motherboard that we've chosen is a micro ATX

motherboard this means we should go for a micro ATX

case micro-atx means the case is quite small so you can transport it

easily and you could also fit it under or on top of a desk so that is it thank

How To Chill, Open, Pour & Drink Champagne - A Quick Guide For New Years - Gentleman's Gazette - Duration: 6:41.

Welcome back to the Gentleman's Gazette!

In today's video, we talk about how to drink champagne, I discuss how to chill it, how

to pour it, how to drink it, and most importantly, how to enjoy it.

If you wonder if an expensive champagne is even worth it in the first place, watch this

video here.

First of all, when should you and when should you not drink champagne?

I like to keep with the famous namesake champagne house.

She said, " I only drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad.

Sometimes, I drink it whenI'm alone.

When I have company, I consider it obligatory.

I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am.

Otherwise, I never touch it unless I'm thirsty."

In short, you can always drink it if you feel like it.

So what temperature should you serve champagne at?

Short answer, not too chilled but cool.

More specifically, most champagnes are good at 46 degrees Fahrenheit or about 8 degrees

Celsius.

For vintage champagnes, it changes a bit to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit or about 10 degrees

Celsius.

If your champagne is too cold or too warm, you miss out on some flavors.

To get that temperature, it should be about 3-4 hours in the fridge or about 15-20 minutes

into an ice bucket.

If you do not have that much time, you can add salt to the ice bucket and it will cool

down into just about 5 minutes.

So how do you open a bottle of champagne?

Basically, there are two options.

The traditional one is to do the sabrage, Personally, I've done it once, it is a huge

mess and it is more of a show.

A better way to open a champagne is to take the bottle and remove the foil as well as

the wire cage and the muzzle on top.

Most of the time, there is a little lip where you can open the foil, if you can't, simply

take a wine opener and cut it open.

Hold the bottle in your right hand if you are right-handed, the left one if you are

left-handed.

The cork always on the opposite hand.

Now, twist the bottle from the bottom and slightly tilt on the cork until it pops.

You will definitely hear it and don't shake the bottle beforehand, otherwise, the champagne

will be all over.

If you have bad luck, the cork may even hit someone, or maybe a chandelier.

So how should you pour champagne?

First of all, what glass should you use?

Back in the day, people favored a flat kind of copita style glass because champagne often

had a lot of carbonation and sometimes they would even use a swizzle stick to get rid

of all the bubbles.

That way, everything in the champagne is quite controlled so you don't have any excess bubbles

and you can use different glasses.

The most popular style is probably the champagne flute which is very elegant and stylish.

That being said, in recent years, regular wine glasses have become a lot more popular

especially for vintage champagnes because supposedly, they help you to discern flavors

better.

At the end of the day, simply go with the glass you have or the one you like most.

When you pour champagne, most people hold it by the neck or in the middle.

The most elegant way is to put your thumb to the back hole of the bottom of the bottle

and then pour it.

Ideally, you hold the glass at an angle and slowly pour it down then you wait a little

bit until the foam has subsided nd then you top it off.

you always want the glass to be about half full if its a flute, a little less if its

a wine glass.

Never fill a champagne glass all the way up, it just shows you don't know what you are

doing.

Also, avoid pouring too fast because it will likely come out of the glass and it will take

longer to fill the glass.

Do it slowly at an angle and then straight up, never just plain into the glass when it

is standing on the table.

If you pour champagne that way, you should get about 7-8 glasses per bottle.

That may help you in your calculations.

Of course, if you get a magnum bottle which is one and a half liters, you get twice as

many glasses.

Alright, now it's time to drink the champagne.

First, look at the champagne.

If it is a very light golden color, it means it is a younger champagne.

if it is darker, more golden, or yellow, it means it's an older, more ripen champagne.

Two, smell the champagne.

Hold your nose over it and see what you can smell.

Generally, there are five aroma groups.

Flowers, vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, indulgent delicacies.

Three, now it's time to taste the champagne.

Take a little sip, let it roll down your tongue, down the palate.

Wine tasters typically swirl the champagne around their mouth just like you do with a

mouthwash, that way, you get the full flavor experience.

Last but not the least, pay attention to the finish when it rolls down your palate.

The longer the flavor lingers in your mouth, the more high end, the more expensive the

champagne will be.

Alright, that is all you need to know.

Now, off and enjoy your champagne.

In today's video, I'm wearing an outfit that I would typically wear for a party in my home

or Christmas, maybe Christmas Eve or New Year's.

It consists of a burgundy velvet dinner jacket that I had custom made.

I opted for reflective mother of pearl buttons because that is nice in the evening and I

added cuffs to the jacket sleeves.

For my shirt, I chose a regular dress shirt because overall, it is a more casual black

tie outfit.

I could have also worn a proper black tie shirt with shirt studs.

I am still wearing French cuffs with cuff links in this case from Fort Belvedere with

malachite green stones because it is very much in line with Christmas day.

In the same vein, I combined it with a silver and malachite pinky ring because it picks

up the green and red tones in the outfit.

My bow tie is likewise velvet but it is special because it is a single end now tie and you

can find it in our shop here.

As you can see, it stands up by itself and it is just slightly more elegant than a regular

velvet bow tie that you can find in our shop.

To learn more about what black bow tie you should choose for your outfit, plese check

out ths vifeo here.

In my chest pocket I'm wearing a white linen pocket square that you can also find in our

shop just like the Fort Belvedere boutonniere which is white and small and works with the

lapel.

My slacks are black tuxedo pants with a side gallon in silk satin.

I'm pairing them with over the calf charcoal and gray socks for a more relaxed look than

let's say a black silk socks. because I'm at home, I'm wearing green velvet slippers

that again go with the green of my cufflinks and the burgundy tone of my dinner jacket.

A Beginner's Guide to Uninstalling Apps On Your Mac (#1562) - Duration: 4:41.

If you're new to Mac one of the things you may not know how to do is how to uninstall

apps.

There are several different ways and it depends upon where you get the app from.

Now if you're new to Mac you should be getting most of your apps from the Mac App Store.

If you do, then all you need to do is go to Launchpad.

Launchpad is not only a great way to launch new apps but it's how you delete apps from

your system that you downloaded from the Mac App Store.

The way to do it is to click and hold any app.

It doesn't matter which one.

Wait a few seconds until everything starts to jiggle.

You'll see little x's appear at the upper left hand corner of any app that you can uninstall

through Launchpad.

So you can swipe through these and select an app, click the x and it will uninstall

it.

Now notice that some of these don't have the little x next to it.

That means they weren't instilled through the Mac App Store or that they are part of

the operating system like you'll notice that some of the default apps like Mail and Contacts

can be removed.

So if it's one of those then what you're going to want to do is go to the Applications folder

to uninstall it.

So go back to the Finder here and we'll do Go and then we'll go to Applications.

Now the first thing you want to do with the app that you want to uninstall is to see if

there's an Uninstaller app with the main app.

For instance, here's Adobe Photoshop and notice that Adobe Photoshop is a folder.

I go into it and there's the actual application.

There is also an Uninstall link right there.That will launch a part of Photoshop that actually

cleanly uninstalls everything.

So a lot of pro level software have this uninstaller there.

So you want to look for that first.

Now if you don't find that then usually it's perfectly safe to simply delete the application

from the Application folder.

So you select the application, drag it to the Trash just as you would throw away any

other file.

Then you can empty the Trash.

That's all you need to do.

Now some people say, well but that doesn't get rid of the Preference files.

Preference files are really tiny little things and they don't get in the way.

Kind of like worrying about the dirt you might track into your car and if the extra weight

might actually reduce your gas mileage.

These files are so tiny that you don't have to worry about it.

If you ever need to bring the app back in the Preferences are still there.

Now that said, if you're having trouble getting rid of an app.

Say it's something that is actually a system extension and does all sorts of things, adds

extra functionality as you're using your Mac, then you may need to do a custom set of uninstall

instructions.

The way to find those is to go to the web and search for them.

BUT this is kind of a danger zone.

Notice here I'm searching for uninstall better touch tool and I'll come up with some form

links which are fine.

They may or may not include good information.

But I'm also going to come across a lot of websites that claim to tell you how to uninstall

things.

If you click on these, I won't show you any of them, they are actually going to try and

sell you cleaner tools and uninstaller tools and things you don't need.

These are things that are just going to do exactly what you can do yourself.

Throw away the app, for instance.

Or follow a set of instructions to get rid of the app.

You don't need to pay for them.

You don't need to have this extra piece of junk on your system and I definitely recommend

you don't download any of these because they're just trying to get your money and they really

don't give you anything extra.

Instead look for the official site for that software.

A lot of times you can find it by looking in About This App in the app itself.

But you can also search for the official site.

If you're sure you are at the official site, like for instance for this BetterTouch Tool

here's the official site for it, and sure enough if I go Documentation there's Uninstall

and here's a set of uninstall instructions for you.

Any good software is going to have a set of uninstall instructions if they're even needed.

A lot of times you won't find it because all you need to do is throw the application to

the Trash or if you downloaded it from the Mac App Store use Launchpad and delete it

that way.

So it's pretty easy.

There's no big mystery to it.

You just have to do one of those things.

If you stick to the Mac App Store it's really easy.

Just use Launchpad and uninstall the apps that way.

7 Types of Spirit Guides Which One Is Yours - Duration: 5:59.

7 Types of Spirit Guides- Which One Is Yours

If you are just beginning your journey of connecting with your spirit guide, I would

recommend first learning about the many different types of guides that exist in our realm and

the incorporeal one.

7 TYPES OF SPIRIT GUIDES Right now, it seems to be a common trend to

believe that spirit guides are primarily animals or angelic beings � but this is only one

small dimension of the many possibilities that exist out there.

Spirit guides, I believe, can have unlimited shapes and forms.

A spirit guide could just as easily be a soft gust of air that makes the hairs on your arm

stand up, as it could be a full blown godly being that you meet during a shamanic journey.

There are so many possibilities out there, and below I will break down the main �types,�

�species� or forms of spirit guides which you might encounter on your path.

Remember, you can have more than one, and most people often do!

1.

HALF MAN HALF BEAST (TRANS-SPECIES) Many spirit guides manifest themselves as

half man/woman and half animal.

Examples include: centaurs, fauns, harpys, mermaids, sphinxes, fairies and minotaurs.

Many deities also appear as spirit guides, for instance, Anubis (jackal-headed Egyptian

god), Ganesha (elephant-headed Indian god), Ra (falcon head, human body) etc.

The first ever spirit guide that I personally made contact with was Pan, a half man half

goat entity, who �revealed� to me my own personal shadow self and the need for me to

embark on a journey of healing my core wounds.

2.

ANIMALS/TOTEMS Animals are well-known spirit guides and have

gained a lot of popularity over the past few years, perhaps thanks to their accessibility

in our everyday lives.

Some ancient cultures, such as the indigenous Americans and Chinese had animals as sacred

representations of their tribes or lineages.

These days, animals come to represent and reflect a person�s own inner yearnings and

needs, moving from group use to more personal and individual use in this day and age.

I wrote an article on popular species of animal spirit guides here.

3.

LIGHT BEINGS Many people describe �light beings� (also

commonly known as guardian angels), as being their spirit guides.

Light beings are said to particularly help people move through traumatic areas of life

such as death, loss and grief.

Light beings are called such because of their tendency to appear bright, glowing or full

of light.

4.

ANCESTORS Ancestral guides are entities that have some

kind of blood connection to us and our lineage.

An ancestral guide could be a recently deceased member of your family (mother, father, aunt,

grandfather), or a long dead relative that you have perhaps never met in your lifetime.

When I have done shamanic journeying in the past, I have connected with what I consider

my ancestors.

To me they appeared as shadowy beings that felt distinctly familiar.

They taught me that although I felt alone and isolated in my current family, I am part

of something vastly larger.

The messages our ancestors bring can be beautiful and life-changing.

5.

PLANTS Shamans believe that the world and everything

in it is composed of vibrant, living energy.

This includes plants.

Ayahuasca � a psychoactive brew that is made out of a vine commonly found in Peru

� is one of the most well-known ways of getting in touch with the spirits of nature.

Interestingly the Banisteriopsis Caapi vine is known as �the vine of the souls,� and

it is common for all those taking it to feel guided by the plant into the realms of inner

and outer existence.

The same can be said for many other psychoactive (and non-psychoactive plants).

Plants can either be symbolic, like in pagan traditions that associates certain qualities

with certain plants, or experiential, where ingesting the plant stimulates mental, physical

and emotional expansion.

6.

GODS AND GODDESSES Gods and goddesses have been worshiped, feared

and written about since the dawn of time.

They span across every culture, every tradition, every religion and every part of the world.

Common gods and goddesses that serve as spirit guides include Athena, Quan Yin, Apollo, Lakshmi,

Lugh, Kali, Hathor, Horus, The Green Man and Selene.

7.

ASCENDED MASTERS Ascended masters are beings that have already

lived on this earth but have become enlightened, awakened or have transcended the cycle of

reincarnation.

Thus, ascended masters represent the ultimate teachers and gateways to the divine.

It is said that ascended masters, like all spirit guides, teach all people who call on

them (not just you) to achieve greater wholeness and harmony in life.

Common examples include Krishna, Jesus, Confucius, Kuthumi, Melchizedek, Mary the Mother

of Jesus, Babaji, Gautama Buddha, and many others.

The Definitive Guide To A Website That Works - Duration: 33:39.

This is the definitive guide to a website that works.

Hi, I'm Jess and there's a shocking trend that nobody's talking about and it's actually costing businesses billions

Yep, billions, and it's called faulty websites

So by the time a business owner goes through the process of creating their website and launching it.

It's already too late to fix it so when a business owner

Realizes that their website doesn't convert customers

There might be nothing they can do except start over like this one startup from Seattle who spent eighty thousand dollars

getting their website created and

They three weeks after launch had to throw it out and start over from scratch

You know in some ways that startup was lucky because they could start over but some business owners

they just can't start over and so they throw money at their faulty website by continuing to send in traffic that doesn't convert and

That's going to make their marketing way more expensive than it needs to be sure web designers are creating these websites

But business owners play an important role, too

The best way to explain this too is to examine the system for multiple sites designers business owners and marketers

By the way also designer a lot, but what I really mean is designers and developers. It's just easier to say designers

so Who am I well I'm Jessica Jobs, and I had a 13-year career at Microsoft split between marketing and engineering and

Following my time at Microsoft

I went to work at a web design studio as the studio director and

after that I started a marketing agency called on the grid and

Transitioned to be an online coach and that brings us to today this video includes four chapters

chapter one the truth about web design and marketing chapter 2

selecting the right website builder number three stop wasting money on marketing and

Number four get your website to actually work, and if you don't have time to stick with me through four chapters of content

it's about a 30-minute video then how about take a copy to go go ahead and click that button down there and

takes you a few seconds to fill out the simple form and

This video plus the pdf version of it will be delivered straight to your inbox

And you can watch it or read it on your own time alright

Let's keep going with chapter 1 the truth about web design marketing

why aren't websites living up to their potential if you think about it websites have two jobs they need to represent the brand and

They also need to work the web design industry takes care of job number one making beautiful websites that are unique and special

Web designers have the brand thing down

It's job number two where everything breaks web designers are not properly equipped or paid to get a website working

the best way to explain

This is to start by looking at how decisions are made while the websites being created the business owner says

Pricing should be on the first page the designer responds. I really think page two is better business owner

I don't like the messaging the designer stands our ground, but your customers will

Business owner I want the colors to be softer designer

but bright is in and

on and on and

If you've been to this before you could probably relate when I say the person with the loudest voice or most conviction wins

But most importantly all of these decisions are being made using assumptions and these are assumptions about what will convert visitors

Into leads and sales so in a lot of ways everybody's essentially guessing their way through it

So wait remind me. What's a conversion a?

Conversion is turning a website visitor into something more valuable for the business

It can be accomplished by getting someone to respond to a call to action or a CTA

Like filling out an email address form or a contact form signing up for a freemium product

Purchasing a product or even clicking through to an app store

Web sites with high conversion rates are those that are successful in getting visitors to respond to call to actions

Wire conversions important because website visitors are great and all but in order to revenue targets you want them to eventually buy from you right

So why so much guessing now?

I have nothing against making assumptions actually assumptions are very necessary in order to move a business forward

where

Where this falls down and where I have trouble with it is that these assumptions are being treated as fact it turns out?

There's good reasons for this the first one is that the majority of data that designers have access to is from focus groups and surveys

This is exactly how I started trying to bring data into my design process

I used many research tools and methods including tools like a YTM

Survey Monkey

Google survey Facebook and Amazon Mechanical Turk and

While there are certain tools that are very helpful like user testing

What web designers really need is traffic flowing into the website so they can see what's working and what isn't?

But marketers are the ones that drive traffic not web designers aha and that brings me to number two

Designers are hired to create the website, and that's it the budget shifts from design to marketing after the site launches and websites

Don't convert on the first try anymore

They just don't so design changes will be necessary after the site launches and guess who makes these changes either the marketer

Who?

Quote-unquote messes up the design or the designer who the business owner resents because they didn't budget for this work

Everyone's trying to do the right thing but long story short this whole system is not set up to get beautiful websites to work

Now out of everything I've mentioned

That's broken lack of traffic during the design phase is what I believe is the biggest root cause

It's also the main reason why the web design industry continues to use an outdated method for creating websites called the waterfall method

So what's the waterfall method? It's a software development term

Where all the planning happens upfront to define the whole project and it involves creating a long list of to do's as

Time goes on and the items are checked off the list the list will get smaller and smaller

as a project moves toward completion in this approach web designers start with beautiful designs

Write code to bring the designs to life and deliver a final website, which is expected to succeed no matter what?

Designers tend to use a lot of custom code because it gives them the ability to create exactly what they and the business owner want

This code locks in the beauty it also locks in many of the assumptions that were made along the way

So the finished product isn't flexible to change at a later date

Waterfall allows everyone to stick to a plan and the project can be completed on time and on budget

business owners find comfort in this approach

They want to know how their website will look how much it will cost and how long it will take

Waterfall makes the most sense on paper and provides a false sense of security

While this method is useful for many types of projects web design is not one of them because change

Is a must so why doesn't waterfall work for a web design?

Well the reality is that it takes many tests in order to get a website working

Not only does a marketer need to be adding call to actions moving copy

changing copy moving parts of the page around you know it's all about how do they get the visitors to flow through easier and

to get them to take the actions that they want them to take and

This is this requires a flexible canvas for them to be working on it requires change and none of that's being considered during waterfall

So a better more modern approach to web design

It's called the lean method or agile all right so the lean method what is this?

It's where you create a rough draft to get started collect data to learn

What is and isn't working, and then you improve the website over time?

Notice the icon the loop on top demonstrates that there's a feedback loop and that you're constantly working on the website to make improvements

The lean method or some variation of it is the development model that many great software teams use these days like Amazon Netflix

Facebook Google and believe it or not being Bill Gates favorite engineering team of all time

This is an engineering team I was on for eight of my 13 years at Microsoft

The lean method hasn't yet permeated the web design industry because that traffic that's required for that feedback loop

Doesn't exist until the marketer takes over so by the time that traffic starts flowing in the web designer has already exited

They've already finished their project and there's nobody there really to to take that traffic and that feedback and incorporate it into the design

So unfortunately for all these reasons the web design industry is using an outdated method for developing websites

And it simply doesn't work. Let's talk about the launch

After the websites complete typically there's a launch sending in a lot of new traffic with a press release look

This is a really exciting time

But for most business owners the high doesn't last long the lack of leads and sales that result from the launch is

Disorienting and they start to question everything that took how many months and how many thousands of dollars?

Now what many websites don't make it beyond launch because not only do they not work

But the marketer who's taken it over tells the business owner this website is faulty

There are typically two reasons why a marketer will encourage a business owner to throw out their faulty website and start over

The first is that as too much custom code, and that means that the marketer can't make the necessary changes

They need to make in order to get the website working or number two is at the website locks key functionality

The site could have been created using a website builder or a theme

That's not that's not marketing friendly or a combination of these two the marketing rat-race

Now let's say the faulty website continues to be used as is the case with many new businesses

This is when the marketing rat race begins

Business owners tend to bounce from marketer to marketer from Facebook to SEO to Google AdWords and back again

It's this never-ending cycle of searching for something anything that will work

And why wouldn't they keep searching every marketing article you read these days make sure to tell you how easy it is

So they try it they try everything and they don't give up

I'm so tired of writing checks, but I won't get any sales if I don't have any customers

And I won't get any customers if I don't do marketing this quotes from an entrepreneur who's been in the marketing rat race for three

Years, and this brings me back to the beginning so while marketing may seem inefficient and expensive at times

It's not the weak link websites are the bottom line

Web designers create the website, and then the marketers drive traffic to it

There's not much overlap between the two functions if any at all

I've come to the conclusion that nobody is to blame and also that nobody's empowered to fix the problem on their own

But the two people who can make the biggest difference are the business owner and the web designer

so I've written this for you to help you get through this wasteful maze together and create websites that work and

That brings me to the end of chapter one

There's still three more chapters if you don't have time to stick with me through this whole video

Why not get a copy to go so go ahead click that button in the bottom right hand corner

And you can get a video delivered straight to your inbox

You'll also get a PDF copy of the whole definitive guide to a website that works

And if you like to stick with me, let's go straight into Chapter two how to select the right website builder

now that you learn the truth about web design and marketing the next thing you need to do is throw out the notion of a

Perfect web, site really you should be thinking about a website as a living breathing organism

One that's gonna evolve

Over the life of your business and in order for that

That website to evolve you should also be thinking about all the number of people that are going to be working in that website for

for the life of your business

It's gonna be your web designer your marketer you you know other people that work on your business

There's so many people that are that could potentially be working in that website and so in order to bring this flexible website to life

We one of the most important decisions you can make right off the bat is picking the right website builder

So let's talk about that there are hundreds of builders out there, so research is necessary

But don't be fooled many website builders

Talk a good game, but there are very few that give the marketer the tools. They need to grow a business efficiently

Which website builders are great?

number one on my list is WordPress the most popular website builder

Expert marketers prefer working on WordPress because it gives them advanced features and tools

That they can use to get a website ranking in search engines and converting traffic into leads and sales

WordPress, which was originally developed as a blogging platform has 60% share of all the websites created using a website builder this will be your

Safest bet because just about anybody will be able to jump in and help you at any point your website needs it

number two on the list is Shopify

This is an e-commerce

first platform if you have an e-commerce website

This will likely be a better option to start with because it will make the shopping related features much easier to set up and run

It only has 1.5 percent market share so it's pretty small in comparison to WordPress

But Shopify is marketing friendly expert marketers have access to the tools. They need to get your site working

All right

So which website builders are not okay one of the biggest trends in the web design community is to build on Squarespace and sure

Squarespace is going to allow you to get a beautiful website up quickly

But this platform doesn't allow a marketer to do necessary SEO work in order to get your website to rank

Organically in the search results and get all that traffic flowing in

You may hear conflicting points of view because there's a lot of misleading information floating around

Designers say we're Pro Squarespace Squarespace has native analytics and it allows for google analytics

You can also do native things increase SEO that makes sense because that's what Squarespace advertises

This is another one of those things that look great on paper, but

If you're a marketer, and you've inherited a square say square space site

That's not ranking in search results you have a very different opinion

I advise my clients to leave Squarespace and go for WordPress at least there are more options to solve SEO issues with WordPress

Websites that are important for growing a business over the long term

Shouldn't be built using Squarespace at least until they fix some of those important SEO issues

The other website builder that I don't recommend is Wix

Wix is not marketing friendly at all yet, it's mostly about creating a beautiful website not actually getting a web site to work

Wix has similar SEO challenges as Squarespace

But the biggest issue is that it doesn't allow third-party tools to get the rich data flowing in to understand

What's working, and what isn't it's necessary to add some free software like Mouse slow

Or hot jar these are third-party tools that sites like Wix don't allow so while Wix may be trending up

It's not mature enough to support a growing business over the long term

Alright, so when our Squarespace and Wix ok because there are scenarios where I do recommend both of these platforms the first is if you

Need a temporary website for let's say you have a proof-of-concept business

And you're just trying to get your idea out there as fast as possible and show it around to people to get some feedback

by all means use Squarespace our Wix because those are gonna help you get that website up quickly the other time I

recommend Squarespace and Wix is

Related to this and it's about you know moving quickly so the faster you can move on the Internet

And you know make design changes and to get your website converting based on the data that you're seeing if you can move faster

with with Squarespace or Wix then by all means

Use those as as your website builder

Just know that as the business matures the website will eventually need to migrate to a more marketing friendly platform

one thing to keep in mind if you go down this path is to make sure the temporary website builder allows you to transfer the

Domain if the domains held hostage by the website builder

That's going to put you in a pretty tough bind

So to be safe consider using a temporary domain name to go with a temporary website

What about themes?

Businesses that can move the fastest have the competitive advantage on the flipside businesses that move slowly are going to be left in the dust

So what enables speed themes if the websites being created without a theme it means new?

Untested functionalities being added not only does this slow down design and increase cost it

Also makes it difficult for a marketer to make changes to the website to get it converting

Themes might make a website a little less unique

but I'll take speed and cost savings any day over uniqueness and not just any theme will do a

mature theme is better than a new theme I

always err on the side of choosing themes with lots of downloads because they have most of the bugs worked out by the time I

Use it at a minimum select a theme. That's already released a couple of versions

Remember we talked about making sure the websites a place for everyone to work designer business owner marketer find a theme

Which has a support package or an engaged community even if you're a wordpress expert someone else might want the extra support

All right now

let's talk about flexibility now that you know websites don't convert on the first try a

Flexible theme becomes important one that allows you to move elements around like the navigation

one that allows you to add features like a slider or to easily remove elements from the page like the form and

Guess which themes do this well themes that have tons of downloads because they typically cater to multiple different business types

So look for themes that are very popular

Again by doing this you'll be giving up on some uniqueness. We use the avada WordPress theme because it meets all of this criteria

It's one of the most popular themes with tons of downloads, and it adds a support package and engage community

Anytime my marketing teams stuck we can get help quickly, and we rarely have to hire a developer to write code

One way to select a theme is to search in theme forest and filter by popularity look for something near the top of the list

Not all WordPress or Shopify sites are created equal alright, so if the websites created

Using Shopify or a wordpress that's definitely a big step in the right direction

But that's not everything

Because if that site is filled with all sorts of custom code that kind of negates the whole purpose of these platforms and themes in

The first place instead of including tons of HTML PHP or JavaScript. It's best to use the drag-and-drop

Visual page builders that are already built into the themes like for example in WordPress

It would be using Fusion builder or visual composer in order to do the majority of the page designing

this is what a vadas Fusion builder looks like in WordPress alright, so designers if you're watching this or

Or you're a business owner, and you're trying to convince your designer to use one of these visual page composers then

Then this might be helpful to you because the designers mindset should be how do I create a website you know in a way that?

Multiple people can be working here over the life of the business right so

Even though it might be faster for you to write your own custom code and in order to make the website that much more beautiful

You might have to just like hold back a little bit

because you want to be a good team player and

the bottom line don't fall into the trap of

Building a perfect website full of custom code using a website builder that marketers can't work with in

today's world of website creation flexible fast and collaborative is the name of the game that brings us to the end of chapter 2

Feel free to take this with you to go to continue watching it on your own time

Or let's keep right on going with chapter 3 stop wasting money on marketing

So now you have a flexible website, and that's a huge milestone

Congratulations, so now you might be thinking I'm ready to sell sell sell so so well you might be but your website's not it's not

Ready for you to go all-in on marketing if you did you'd be paying to get visitors on a website

That's not ready to receive it you see your new website is jam-packed with something called friction

The number one cause of visitors not converting

Friction is anything that's getting in the way of turning your visitors into leads and sales

Or another way to think about it. Is that it's anything on your website causing problems and snags for a potential customer

It's little things that make your visitors think too hard. It's things like having a header

That's too bright and loud causing visitors to click on the tabs instead of scrolling down the homepage to read about your product

Or it could be a slow loading page causing you're frustrated visitors to leave your website too soon

After friction causes visitors to leave how many people are left to click your call to actions

Not many

The friction impact on the left is what my website looked like when my designer was finished

I loved it, and I knew it was full of friction

So I wanted to remove it before I send in a bunch of traffic

I did on the right you see my conversions went up two hundred and twenty percent

The design on the Left only got fifteen clicks per 100 visitors while the one on the right got 48 clicks per 100

With the first design on the left in order to get 48 clicks. I would have needed

320 visitors you can see that my website just became

220 percent more efficient making my marketing so much less expensive over the life of my business

So wait remind me how do you measure conversions?

Conversions are typically leads or sales and you measure them with a simple calculation called the conversion rate

To get this value you take the number of conversions and divide it by the total number of visitors for example

If you had 100 visitors this week on your website and one sale over the same period then you have a one percent conversion rate

What is a micro conversion a micro conversion is just like it sounds

It's a small part of a conversion

And it's Li is typically leading your visitors

towards a larger conversion right like a leader or sale so a smaller conversion a micro conversion can be a click it can be

Scrolling down the page pretty far it can be staying on your site a long time. It could be adding products to the shopping cart

Any of these positive signals that are leading your visitors towards something that's more valuable for your business

Those are called micro conversions in my conversion rate calculation above I use micro conversions as a numerator

So in the first design for every 100 visitors that came in I got 15 clicks on my call to actions in

My friction-free design for every 100 visitors that came in I got 48 clicks on my call to actions

Throughout all of my content

I tend to use the terms micro conversion and conversion interchangeably and

Obviously a conversion is more valuable than a micro conversion

But they both provide positive signals to tell me whether we're moving the needle in the right direction or not

removing friction versus getting a website working

Now just because I got more conversion by removing homepage friction that doesn't mean my websites working

there are multiple steps between getting a visitor to click and getting them to become a valuable lead or purchase my product and

There's friction involved all along the way

To get your website working you need to go step by step

removing friction on every important page and form after visitor clicks on a call to action

Are they completing that next step like filling out the contact form or purchasing? What's in their shopping cart when removing friction?

You'll want to focus on things like how many fields the contact form has are they all necessary or can you remove one?

What about the shopping cart our customers purchasing what they add to it, or is there something in the purchase process?

That's causing visitors to abandon their cart

This sounds like a lot of work

But stay tuned because in Chapter four you're going to learn about a mighty tool called Mouse flow that helps you find that friction

Very quickly and then you can get rid of it

All right, so all of this friction removal essentially boils down to making the experience simpler easier and more effective

With not only the layout and functionality of the website, but also the words and images that are used a good

UX designer

user experience designer

will help you think through all this during the design process and prevent a lot of friction from showing up on your site in the

first place

But the truth is no matter how great your designer

Every website has trouble spots that need taken care of and many times you have no idea you have friction until you see your visitors

experiencing problems with your own eyes

Fire-starting versus pouring gas

This whole process of removing friction focus your focuses your attention inward you'll be working on starting the fire

To get the fire started you first need your website to generate a lead or paying customer

How do you get just one customer to convert? Do you know how you did it? Can you do it again and again?

Now can you send in more traffic and expect the same results if yes?

Then you know the fire has been started and you can use marketing to pour gas on it

Sending in more and more traffic and growing your business in a predictable scalable way

So what if you already have your foot on the marketing gas and your website's not working?

well as painful as it might sound you might have to take your foot off the gas for a little bit and

Really, just focus inward remove all that friction from your website to get your website converting

And then you can put money into your marketing efforts again and really start to scale up

Plus once your websites working it becomes a numbers game

Send in X amount of users get Y in revenue

And your only limit is the size of your target audience and your marketers ability to bring them into your website

Measuring your marketing

Calculating customer acquisition costs or CAC

once you can track users all the way from marketing to

Conversion your website's working and you'll be able to measure how much it takes to acquire one customer

Which is your customer acquisition costs? How do you measure CAC?

You measure it with a simple calculation in which you take the total amount of money you spent on marketing

Divided by the number of customers you acquired over the same time period for example

If you spent 1,000 on marketing and got ten new paying customers your CAC is 100 dollars

That's 1,000 dollars divided by 10

the bottom line

web designers typically don't remove friction to do that it would require traffic and

it would require their contract to extend past the launch and require and include design iterations and

marketers don't focus inward

They either can't remove friction because of how the website was created

Or they're not rewarded to do it they just they're rewarded to create more

That's the trend right more and more and more more blog posts more social media posts more

Everything in the hopes that something's going to work, and it's going to draw that traffic in and magically convert

But if you think about it every time you create something new on your website a new blog posts a new form to fill out

You could be introducing more friction so while it might be difficult to take your foot off the marketing gas in the short term

It's the right approach for the long term because it's going to reduce your marketing spend and get your website to actually work for you

Don't have time to continue listening to chapter 4

Why don't you take a copy to go just click that button down in the bottom right all right?

You still with me here. We are at chapter 4 how to get your website working

We've already talked about a lot of new approaches to web design and marketing you've learned what you must know before creating a website

how to create a flexible website and how to stop wasting money on marketing now

It's time to talk about how to remove friction from the page of your website and to get your website actually work

and we'll do that by seeing what your visitors are doing on your website, and then fixing the problem areas and

Luckily, this is actually pretty easy with a mighty little tool called Belle flow

Watch your visitors in action with Mouse flow I call Mouse

Well domain brain most marketers rely on Google Analytics, and that's definitely a staple when it comes to analyzing websites

But Mouse flow is by far my favorite tool, and I tend to use it more than GA

With mouse so I can see what's going on on the website in a visual way. It gives me the ability to discover

What's working, or not working with my marketing efforts and most importantly it allows me to find all that troublesome friction

Mouseville has three key features visitor recordings heat map technology and click max

Visitor recordings when you add muscle to your website each user session is recorded

Imagine watching Mouse tracking videos of your site, and see how customers move through and experience it think of it as DVR for your website

Start watching the recordings and the friction will jump out and slap you in the face

You'll see pages taking too long to load you'll see clicks in areas are not expecting you'll see visitors go from page to page

Exposing patterns you're not expecting you'll also see visitors fill out forms

notice

Which fields they fill out and when they stop in a band in the form these recordings alone?

Will help you discover and fix a ton of friction on your site

Next up is heat map technology

Heat maps help you see how far down visitors scroll on each of your pages

So you can figure out what they see or don't see and discover where they may be dropping off your website

Maybe there's a certain sentence or image on your page. That's driving traffic away heat maps can help you discover that

On the left is the heat map of my website when it had friction and on the right is a heat map with friction removed

The colors represent how far down the page visitors scroll?

Warm colors indicate more people see that part of the page and cold colors represent a lower percentage of eyeballs

You can see in both images a lot of red at the top this indicates 100% of visitors saw the top of the page

Now notice as you go down the colors change to yellow and green then blue on the left

On my first homepage design 40 percent of visitors made it to the bottom whereas

73% of visitors on my friction-free design made it all the way to the bottom in 83 percent increase in scroll rate

Guess where my call to actions are on the friction free design at the bottom where 73 percent of the visitors see them?

there they've already read my story gotten to know me and now I'm asking them to commit to the next step and

forty eight percent of my visitors do

Now let's look at clique max a clique map in Moscow shows you how many people clicked which areas of each page?

It's an incredibly visual way to light up your call to actions. What are people clicking on or not clicking on

click maps can also show trouble spots

Maybe people think they should be able to click a word or an image that they can't

No other tool is going to give you this data. It's so powerful

Click maps are what I use to calculate my conversion rates before and after removing friction notice the red boxes

These are the call to actions and this report shows me how many people viewed the page?

And how many clicked on each important area calculating conversion rates can't get easier get mouse

Oh Mouse

Well super simple to set up

Just like Google Analytics it requires you to copy a small piece of JavaScript to your website

You can get this up and running in no time

So you'd probably realize that in order to see friction on your website you have to have traffic flowing in in the first place

Right yeah ok so let's talk about that in this new world you should be thinking about pre and post conversion marketing

So when you hire a marketer, and they get started instead of your marketer pouring gas on the fire right away

They should be thinking about sending in just enough traffic for you to light the fire in the first place

In the early days instead of running big marketing campaigns

They should do some tests collect some data learn and decide if it's something that should be scaled up later

They can do SEO right quality content and build backlinks

these are all long-term marketing tactics that can be start at any time if

Those efforts don't produce enough traffic for testing they can use Facebook ads to get some short bursts of targeted traffic

I find it to be the easiest and most inexpensive way to drive targeted traffic

And it's what I rely on for most of my friction testing

I also have two twitter accounts with a ton of followers at Jessica jokes has 25,000 followers and at on the grid now has

60,000 followers

These are great assets that I spent a year building up now

I can schedule a bunch of tweets and get that traffic flowing in with a day's notice

Your marketer may want to take a similar approach to social media in the beginning

It's about building large audiences, and then when your website's working and you know you can convert the traffic from those large audiences

That's when you start engaging those audiences and giving them juicy links to click on and to come on into your website

We've covered a lot so I thought it'd be helpful to summarize the steps

I take to remove friction and get my website working generating leads and sales

Number one build a flexible website that can be updated on the fly

number two bring a small amount of traffic into the site through social media and advertising campaigns

Number three gather data and figure out where your visitors are exiting your website number four make changes to your website based on the data

Number five once you've started to see serious conversions

It's time to pour gas on the fire invest more in successful campaigns and engage more through social outreach

Keep the conversions coming and continue to optimize your website as needed the bottom line

So I hope I've convinced you that there's another way to approach web design and marketing

From a web design perspective your first website the design. That's created

that's just the starting point right then you need to get in there and

Remove all that friction so think about it as a flexible place that needs to be molded and changed

Based on what your visitors are doing or not doing and then once you get your visitors converting

That's when it's time for marketing to pour gas on that fire and really scale up your marketing efforts so

Your Guide to Anti-Anxiety Medications - Canada 365 - Duration: 8:52.

Your Guide to Anti-Anxiety Medications

Anxiety is a natural behavior that humans experience in response to any physical or psychological threat.

And, it becomes a problem when this reaction is too excessive in relation to the thing that triggers it.

Also, it can result in a pathological state of anxiety that may require the use of anti-anxiety medications.

Additionally, there is no clear boundary between normal anxiety and a pathological problem.

But, one could say it's at the point at which your symptoms begin to interfere with your daily life.

Anxiety is a mental disorder that is more and more common around the world.

For example, the number of people suffering from depression and anxiety increased from 416 to 615 million, between 1990 and 2013.

So, to understand why some medications are more appropriate than others, it's important to differentiate between the types of anxiety:.

Some anxiety involves fear, such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias.

Other anxiety is more general in nature, without any clear cause or origin.

Treatment for anxiety.

with low risk to the patient.

However, this class of anti-anxiety medications has the disadvantage of producing well-known adverse effects, such as amnesia, dependence, and high physical tolerance.

Additionally, medication must also be combined with a psychological approach to treatment.

Also, in the last decade, anti-anxiety medications and treatments have shifted from being based on traditional hypnotic or anti-anxiety medications to a wide variety of drugs.

And, these drugs are used for other disorders of the central nervous system.

Benzodiazepines.

The first benzodiazepine was chlordiazepoxide, synthesized in 1961.

And, this class of medication acts by selectively binding to GABA receptors. Additionally, this neurotransmitter mediates the inhibition of the central nervous system.

Therefore, benzodiazepines facilitate the opening of chlorine channels activated by GABA and accentuate their inhibitory effects.

Also, they are mildly sedative, relax the muscles, and have anticonvulsant effects.

Whats more, Benzodiazepines are frequently used to treat acute anxiety.

Basically, they have been effective against panic attacks and have even been used as enemas for epileptic children.

And, they can be classified by the time that it takes for their effects to be felt:.

Short-acting benzodiazepines: midazolam, triazolam Intermediate-acting: alprazolam, bromazepam, lorazepam, lormetazepam Long-acting: clobazam, clorazepate, diazepam, chlordiazepoxide.

Whats more, the body easily absorbs these medications.

However, the anti-anxiety medications can interact with psychotropic drugs, alcohol, barbiturates, opiates, and anti-allergenic drugs.

And, for elderly people, the dose should be carefully selected to avoid accumulation in the body.

The administration of lorazepam, oxzepam, and temazepam is recommended for older people.

The man side effects of these anti-anxiety medications are:.

Drowsiness Confusion Amnesia Loss of coordination.

In addition, all benzodiazepines can lead to higher tolerance (a gradual increase in the dose required to produce the same effect) and dependence.

So, this is why it's recommended to gradually reduce a patient's dose of benzodiazepines when trying to stop treatment.

Buspirone.

Buspirone is an anti-anxiety drug among the class of serotonin 5-HT1a receptors.

Also, it can help treat generalized anxiety disorder, but not phobias or social anxiety.

And, it does not have sedative, anticonvulsant, or muscle relaxing effects.

Additionally, it has few drug interactions.

Its main side effects are nausea, dizziness, headache, and restlessness.

Anti-depressants for anxiety.

These anti-anxiety medications are effective against generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and phobias.

Also, tricyclic anti-depressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) have more side effects, but can also be used.

Additionally, in this class of drugs, the following commonly treat anxiety:.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine or sertraline And, serotonin reuptake inhibitors and noradrenaline, such as venlafaxine or duloxetine.

Anti-epileptic drugs.

Additionally, anti-epileptic drugs such as gabapentin, pregabalin, valproate, and levetiracetam are also effective for treating generalized anxiety disorder.

Atypical anti-psychotics.

And, some atypical anti-psychotics like olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine, and ziprasidone are effective for treating certain forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

β-adrenergic antagonists.

Lastly, Propranolol is widely used to treat certain forms of anxiety.

In particular, it's useful for physical symptoms like sweating, tremors, and high pulse.
