I’ve been hearing this more and more lately: “We’r I’ve been hearing this more and more lately:
“We’re just going to build the new site with AI.”

On paper, it sounds perfect — fast and effortless.

Here’s the reality: every AI-built site I’ve watched this year is still unfinished. Months later, they’re stuck on “Coming Soon”… or never launched at all.

Not because the owners aren’t capable — but because AI is a great starter and a terrible finisher. It can generate pages, not strategy.

After 30+ years as a WordPress designer, I’ve seen every “this will replace websites” wave come and go. The tools change — the fundamentals don’t.

AI works best as a supporting tool, not the project lead.

I break it all down in my latest article - link in bio.... and reach out to get your site over the finish line.

Your taglines and content aren’t just something yo Your taglines and content aren’t just something you say — they’re something people see.

Your website and social media are often the first impression of your business.
Before a call.
Before an email.
Before a visit.

If your feed feels loud, inconsistent, or thrown together, it sends a message — whether you intend it to or not.

Strong brands don’t post at random.
They communicate intentionally.

At NOLA Media & Design, we get granular about visual identity — aligning your website and social presence with your brand, your audience, and the experience you want people to expect.

Because most businesses aren’t just selling a product or service…
they’re selling a lifestyle, a feeling, and a level of trust.

✨ Cohesive
✨ Strategic
✨ On-brand

If your online presence doesn’t feel aligned, let’s fix that.

Reach out today to start creating a visual experience that actually reflects your brand.

FAQs aren’t just there to fill space on your websi FAQs aren’t just there to fill space on your website — they’re a powerful tool when used strategically. Done right, they help your site rank better, keep visitors engaged, and address objections before someone clicks away.

We just published a new blog sharing 7 no-nonsense reasons every website should have a comprehensive FAQ page — for both SEO and user experience.

Stop Using Hashtags Like It’s 2017 — #fortheloveof Stop Using Hashtags Like It’s 2017 — #fortheloveofallthingsholy 😉

Hashtag PSA from your friendly NOLA Media & Design team: 
If your brand is still cramming 10 hashtags into every post hoping for algorithmic miracles… consider this your friendly nudge... hashtags aren’t dead, but they definitely aren’t the growth hack they used to be — and using them poorly can make your brand look a little outdated.

Here’s the breakdown:
➕ LinkedIn: Use 1–3 niche hashtags. Quality > quantity. No need for #HashtaggingEveryWord.
➕ Facebook: Hashtags are not essential. If you must, stick to 1–2 simple or branded ones and keep your caption clean.
➕ Instagram: Hashtags can still help — just not 5+ of them. Use 1-3 targeted hashtags that actually match your content.

In a marketing nutshell:
✔️ Relevance beats volume
✔️ Niche > generic
✔️ Treat hashtags like seasoning — not the whole meal
✔️ Create 1–2 branded hashtags for campaigns
✔️ Keep your caption readable (we beg)

Bottom line: Hashtags can still help, but only when used intentionally. Just don’t be "that brand"... keep it modern, keep it clean, and # responsibly - #pleaseandthankyou. 😉 🙏

Your Logo Isn’t Just a Design—It’s a Business Deci Your Logo Isn’t Just a Design—It’s a Business Decision

Your logo is often the first impression people have of your business—and if it looks generic, vague/forgettable or off-brand, that impression may be your last. 

✔️ Are the elements bold enough to pop, clean enough to scale, and distinct enough to be remembered?

✔️ Is your logo scalable for signage, merch, and tiny digital spaces?

Design trends fade. Logos with meaning, clarity, and strategy last.
Say no to cookie-cutter templates. Say yes to thoughtful, professional design that grows with your brand.

👉 Read why your logo deserves more than a trendy template on our latest blog post at nolamediadesign.com

We manage 20+ social media campaigns, and lately we’ve seen an increase in posts being flagged or removed by automated systems—even when they meet all guidelines.

If you’re managing your own accounts, stay alert for violation notices and act fast. One recent post of ours was taken down without cause. We didn’t catch the alert right away, but once we disputed it, it was restored in just 3 days.

👀 Moral of the story: AI helps, but nothing replaces a human touch. Always double-check, and don’t be afraid to speak up when something seems off.
