Helping others
Helping others stands in the HiveFly’s motto – but instead of restricting that just to the visitors, I aim to make friends over the internet and help other webmasters, bloggers or writers as well. This time I help you, next time you can help me back.
Many people can’t afford to hire professionals (or don’t want to spend time doing that) to give their websites or articles just a little extra boost in the form of graphics, photo editing or video – and while this boost isn’t necessary by any means, I strongly believe it really improves usability, readability and overall impression. Let’s make browsing the web even more enjoyable!
So if any of the following grabs your attention, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Graphic design
Most of the time, people do not actually read the web, they scan it – so images become extremely important to help deliver the message, explain the concept or help to distinguish different parts of an article or web page. The idiom "A picture is worth a thousand words" cannot be more true.
Maybe you don’t have the time or the necessary software – no problem, just let me know.

Photo editing and retouching
Photo retouching often evokes smoothening skin, brightening eyes and teeth or making body fat disappear. But even basic adjustments can turn dull images into great photos – for example correcting color and exposure, sharpening or shifting focus to the most important of the image. And we shouldn’t forget on resizing and optimizing them for web.
Video editing and cut
No movie clip would be perfect without a proper editing and cut – product videos, adding text and music (or even synchronizing the music with video) or custom video previews for Youtube – I can help you with all of that.
Audio editing
Are you struggling with audio? Would you like to use podcasts but need somebody to edit them? No problem 😉
Search Engine Optimization and User Experience
Like photographers who just want to shoot and avoid marketing and calling clients, you probably also want to do what you love the most – for example write or work on your product. Unfortunately, SEO is an incredibly important aspect of your online presence as well.
So if you don’t have the skills yet and don’t want to hire an expensive agency, I can help you with the fundamental and most important stuff – site speed, keyword research, on-page optimization, content marketing, link building and others. And also direct you to some useful tools or guides on the internet.
Plus I can give you some useful insight how your web looks from a visitor’s perspective – we also forget that while everything seems clear to us, visitors may have serious trouble navigating through your website and understanding your content.
HTML, CSS, WordPress
While I’m not a professional by any means, I manage all HTML, CSS and WordPress issues on my site myself.
Do you have a code problem and don’t have time for finding the answer on forums or don’t want to hire a specialist for such a small task? Let me know, I’ll do my best to solve it.
Need explanation of some code or want to learn the basics? Or some advice concerning WordPress? I can also help.
So, have you found anything you need? Or have a completely different problem? Just drop me a line 😉
