All of my clients will know that I am a massive fan of the free online image editor PicMonkey and always recommend it to anybody who will listen. However, I recently came across Canva, another excellent online tool to help you create stunning graphics for both the web and print. It's well worth a closer look if you like to keep your site's images fresh and up-to-date without tearing your hair out! And creating Facebook cover images is a breeze.

One of the most common problems my clients are facing is the resizing of their images to best fit into their websites. Whereas we can automate a certain part of the process within the content management system's code, to retain complete control over the exact area of an image that will end up on the website you should take the editing task into your own hands. And the free online image editor at www.picmonkey.com is the perfect tool to get the job done in no time!

The bounce rate of a site is the percentage of visitors that view only a single page before leaving the site again (and is often confused with the "exit rate" which is an entirely separate statistic). Single-page visitors are generally seen as an indicator of a problem with your website as we obviously want to keep visitors on the site as long as possible and not to leave after a quick look. But there can be plenty of other reasons for a "bounce", so keeping an eye on your site statistics will help you decipher what's really going on.
