Sizing your images for Instagram 📱🤷🏼♂️ Optimising your images for Instagram and ensuring that they fit the required measurements when uploading is a quick and easy way to avoid awkward cropping and pixelation in images. Social media these days has so many different sizes and orientation options that it can be tricky to know which one to run with. � We recommend making your square photos 1080px by 1080px in size. That way, when Instagram compresses the file, the version that’s displayed on Instagram should be close to 600px by 600px, meaning that your image will remain intact and to scale. . . . . . . . . #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomads #socialmediastrategy #socialmediabootcamp #entrepreneur #hustlehard #entrepreneurlife #remotework #creatives #creativelife #smallbiz #creative #supportlocal #marketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediatips #smallbusiness #igdaily #businessadvice #socialmediahelp

#womenintech 👑 We love empowering women to take a chance and try something new, especially in an industry that has previously been typically filled with men (don't worry boys, we celebrate you too!) Coding has mostly been a male-dominated industry and the stigma of sitting behind a huge monitor all day coding hard software has been well and truly broken 👏🏼 Coding is one of the most creative, collaborative and empowering career paths to choose these days. Having the freedom to be able to bring beautiful designs to life from your laptop, anywhere in the world, sounds like a pretty amazing job to us. So to all of our fellow #womenintech out there...you're all superstars! We would love to hear your little (or big!) wins so feel free comment below so we can support each other and grow our community of women who code 😄 . . . . . . . . #webdevelopment #dontquityourdaydream #websitedesigner #webdeveloper #learntocode #coding #codingbootcamp #newskills #techeducation #studyabroad #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #tech #websitedesigner #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #wanderlust #bloggerlife #techlife #webdev #freelancer

Meet Jake & Jaz, a couple of who share a passion for all things chiropractics, branding and now web development. Jake and Jaz recently completed our web development retreat in Bali and have rebuilt their entire website, and their first custom client site in only one month following the course! 👏🏼 Jake and Jaz came to us with almost zero coding experience - they were using pre-built templates to create websites for clients and wanted to expand their knowledge to offer custom-built responsive websites to their clients. We couldn't be prouder of these two, and can't wait to see what they come up with next! . . . . . . . . #webdevelopment #dontquityourdaydream #websitedesigner #webdeveloper #learntocode #coding #codingbootcamp #newskills #techeducation #studyabroad #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #tech #websitedesigner #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #wanderlust #bloggerlife #techlife #webdev #freelancer

Investing in yourself is one of the most important things that you can do. Building a business isn't easy, especially when you have to figure everything out by yourself. The time spent sitting on Youtube, reading online forms and posting in Facebook groups can quickly add up and take away from the time that could be spent working on your business 💻 This is where we come in. We've spent the past 3 years collectively building, restructuring and growing our course structure and online hub so that you no longer have to spend hours every week sifting through Youtube videos and online forums 🙌🏼 Over the coming months, we have some super exciting resources and surprises coming your way.....keep your eyes on this space! . . . . . . . . #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomads #socialmediastrategy #socialmediabootcamp #entrepreneur #hustlehard #entrepreneurlife #remotework #creatives #creativelife #smallbiz #creative #smallbusinesswa #supportlocal #marketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediatips #smallbusiness #igdaily #collectivehub #womeninbusiness #businessadvice #marketingstrategy #branding #socialmediahelp
