🌐 Why a Modern Website Design Matters in 2024 🚀 In today's digital age, your website is often the first impression potential clients or customers have of your business. Here's why having a modern-looking website is crucial: 1. Building Trust: A sleek, contemporary design builds trust with visitors. It shows professionalism and attention to detail, crucial for establishing credibility in the eyes of your audience. 2. Loading Speed: Ensuring your website loads quickly is crucial for retaining visitors. Slow loading times can frustrate users and lead to higher bounce rates. 3. SEO Optimization: Modern websites are typically designed with search engine optimization (SEO) best practices in mind, making it easier for potential clients/customers to find your website through search engines like Google. The future of search is changing rapidly and drastically - you need to keep up and make sure AI platforms are pushing users to your content! 4. Natural Flow of Information: Modern websites are designed with user experience in mind. They guide visitors through the information intuitively, making it easier for them to understand your offerings and navigate your content. 5. Ease of Navigation: Visitors appreciate websites where they can quickly find what they're looking for. A modern design ensures that navigation is seamless, reducing bounce rates and keeping visitors engaged longer. 6. Compatibility Across Devices: With the majority of users accessing the internet via mobile devices, having a website that is responsive and compatible across all screen sizes is non-negotiable. A modern website adapts effortlessly to desktops, tablets, and smartphones alike. Investing in a modern website isn't just about aesthetics—it's about enhancing user experience, building trust, and ultimately driving business growth in a competitive digital landscape. We're excited at Traverse Hospitality to be partnering with hostAI on building our website for the future.

And…that’s a wrap - 17 trade shows this year and the second season completed with Bidfood New Zealand 🎉 A common remark I hear is how lucky I am to travel around the country and see the sights as part of my job. 😅 While my view often includes the sky, show venues, and accommodations, I AM so fortunate to meet and be inspired by so many incredible people. 👥 The team I travel and work with: They put their 💯 into every part of the show, from unloading trucks and setting up stands to sharing their passion for our products. 👥 The amazing Bidfooders at every branch: so uniquely different, yet united by their passion for what they do. 👥 Our customers: Business owners, staff, and chefs across various regions, eager to explore new innovations and level up their craft. 👥 Our suppliers and partners: Working alongside us at the shows, supporting each other, and making even the tough days better. I’ve learned so much from sourcing stands and uniforms, organizing rosters, unloading and wrapping pallets, to even making coffee ☕️ Long days, catching up on emails at night, and sore muscles are all part of the journey. 👉BUT seeing our brands grow, encouraging people to try something new, and witnessing those “wow” moments make it all worth it. Adding value through conversations and solutions has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Now it’s time to rest and recharge, before a new season of growing and learning ahead! And next year, seeing more sights is definitely on my to-do list 😂✈️

Never skip the celebration. You’ve been told to keep pushing, right? But what if that advice is secretly sabotaging your success? Celebrating small wins isn’t just about feeling good—it’s essential for keeping your momentum. Our brains are wired for rewards—dopamine spikes every time you acknowledge an achievement. Miss those moments, and you’re starving your motivation. That’s why I took time to celebrate my citizenship with a fine dining experience—50% off, of course. It felt great, and now I’m more motivated than ever for the next chapter. So, are you celebrating your wins? Because without that boost, the finish line might just slip further away. #financialwellness #financialwellbeing

Less is more This past Saturday, I visited Wing Fest in Manchester 🍗, now in its 10th year. What started as a single event has grown into the largest chicken wing festival in the world 🌍, expanding from one location to six across the UK, serving 45,000 wing lovers. The simplicity is what struck me. While food festivals aren’t new, the founder of Wing Fest decided to focus on one thing—chicken wings 🍗—and do the opposite of everyone else. No endless menus, no distractions, just wings, perfected. It made me think about the power of simplicity in business. Propoly isn’t trying to be a CRM, property management tool, or rent collection service. We don’t aim to be everything. Instead, we focus on one thing: being the best tenancy progression solution on the market 🏡. In a world full of options, less is more
