Newspaper Blog Style Website Design Using Divi
This project was for our very own website.
After launching a very successful blog at https://quiroz.co/blog/ we knew the benefits and power of having a great blog. The Quiroz.co blog primarily featured WordPress web design tutorials using the powerful Divi Framework.
So our initial idea was to move that blog over to Monterey Premier so that we can bring that traffic over to our new site. But after consulting with a local SEO specialist out of the UK, we opted to target an entirely different user base.
Because our new website strategically targeted the Monterey Bay community, we thought the blog should also target that community. So we opted for a community blog everyone could enjoy and the central theme of our blog resulted in “Fun Things To Do In Monterey”.
