Have fun with the Birdata app

It doesn’t cost anything, and it’s enjoyable! Using the Birdata app offers a fun activity to share with kids, friends, family … or use it on your own. You need is a smart device, and to download the Birdata app — look for the one with the BirdLife Australia logo. You also need to set up an account and from there you can follow the survey results. Excellent!

What does the app provide?

By using the app, you’ll be taking part in the BirdLife Australia survey. The survey gathers valuable data about Australia’s bird numbers and habitats, with the aim of achieving conservation outcomes and knowledge about our environment.

The app provides a sense of purpose as we have fun observing feathered friends that share the areas we live in or visit. With the change of season, different birds visit our backyards or wider environment. The app will help you identify the birds.

Have fun!

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
