What happened last week - 10.05 - 14.05.2021
The good
RemoteNActive
- I got the German Website live and running
- Discovered various ways to optimize site speed via
- Image size optimization
- Delaying iframe output via jQuery/Javascript
Code to delay iframe (including OnClick Confetti, because… Confetti ;)
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#buttonframe').click(function(){
if(!$('#iframe').length) {
$('#iframeHolder').html('<iframe src="URL-to-canvas-here"> </iframe>');
}
function randomInRange(min, max) {
return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
}
confetti({
angle: randomInRange(55, 125),
spread: randomInRange(50, 70),
particleCount: randomInRange(50, 100),
origin: { y: 0.6 }
});
});
});
</script>- Site Speed optimized: Desktop looks very good.
- Soft-Launch by messaging friends and ex-work colleagues
The bad
RemoteNActive
- English Website not live yet
- Mobile Site speed is not so optimal.
-
The reason seems to be that I use Tailwind via CDN which has a lot of CSS which I do not need and this slows down the mobile version of the website. Fix is most likely to install Tailwind locally and compile only the CSS I need.
-
Got one decline from a prospect 🤷🏽♂️
-
I have to set my monthly and weekly goals clearer
The ugly
- Website is rather bloated with external javascript
- No case study yet
What’s next?
- Main priority is to find my first 4 case study clients
- Either through my personal contacts
- Or starting paid marketing
