I made the switch to Ecosia at the start of the year. Since my switch, I have planted a total of 699 trees. Well, I physically have not but Ecosia did use the profit they had earned from my web searches.
Since Ecosia’s launch in 2009 and with over 15 million active users, they plant a tree every 1.3 seconds. Bringing their total of trees planted to 129 million over 9,000 sites. Which is incredible using every day searches for an amazing cause to help the planet.
They are the leaders in proofing that it is possible to move away from fossil fuels o matter the size of your business. Ecosia are carbon negative after they built their own solar plants in 2018. So, all Ecosia searches are with 100% renewable energy.
You may not know this but about 300 million tons of CO2 are released each year by the internet. If google alone was to follow Ecosia’s lead, it would effectively remove 15% of all worldwide emissions just by itself.
Ecosia like other search engines makes money from your searches through advertisements. But the major difference is, Ecosia uses the profits to help plant trees across the 9,000 sites globally.
Ecosia uses its profits to plant trees in deforested areas, work with local communities, and restore fragile ecosystems. They also invest in firefighting in Brazil and in our own back yard Australia. So, Ecosia helps protect habitats from wild and manmade fires which is incredible after the devastating fires in 2020. So, farm Ecosia’s investments have helped to preserve an estimated 3.5 million trees since 2018.
Well, you are already searching the web using other engines, making the switch is no different. But there is another positive apart from the environmental effects.
Unlike other search engines, Ecosia respects your privacy. By encrypting your searching and allowing you to turn off all their tracking and do not use external tracking tools. They are not looking to sell your personal data to the highest bidder for advertisements.
This not only means your privacy and your data are protected, but you also always get objective and impartial search results, that is not based on your previous behaviors and clicks.

You may have noticed that the majority of the emails you receive from companies have their own @domainname part of the email address.

This is extremely important, so your business looks professional for the user.

Professionalism and recognizability go hand and hand, 69% of people say who an email comes from is a big part of whether they decide to open it.
You will need to register your new business’s domain; this is the URL users will type into their browser to reach your website. It is important to remember to keep your domain short and to the point. For example, if you have a business John Smith’s Landscaping supplies. It will be difficult/frustrating for users to type johnsmithslandscapingsupplies.com.au. Therefore, it is important to think of the domain name as a good brand tool as well.

You've never built a WordPress website like this before. Divi is more than just a WordPress theme, it's a completely new website building platform that replaces the standard WordPress post editor with a vastly superior visual editor. It can be enjoyed by design professionals and newcomers alike, giving you the power to create spectacular designs with surprising ease and efficiency.
That’s what the people at DIVI say. We’ve heard it before. Visual page builders have been around for a long time and the demo videos look great but then you try to use them in the real world and the overheads and load speed are unworkable so you save no time.
That was then… NOW its different. There are a few page builders that all work at varying levels of ease and power. DIVI is one of the better ones. In fact its one of the Best.
The closest competition to DIVI are Beaver Builder and Elementor. Each has their own pluses and minuses but its basically a matter of opinion. Our opinion is DIVI is the one for us. This was based on the fact the DIVI was the first that we found that included a Front End editor.
This makes it easy for the novice user to design and build their own pages. You can still edit pages via the back end using DIVI but its not visual or as intuitive. So the Front End editor on any page builder should be the deal break these days. If it doesn’t have one what’s the point?
The most powerful feature of DIVI is that once you have installed the DIVI theme (includes DIVI builder) You can then build your site into any design you choose. You can build it to look like almost any site you want or simply use one of the inbuilt Layouts. Also the choice of free and commercial themes available from DIVI designers allows you a level of flexibility not seen before.
DIVI’s front end features and drag and drop functions allows you to build a site in a fraction of the time it used to. If something doesn’t fit just move it. Shorter time frames means you can build a website for a lot less than before. Sites no longer need to cost you Thousands of dollars to build a site whether you build it yourself or use a professional web developer.
