In the spring of 1997, I spent a wonderful day with Dr. Omar Amin in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Amin is one of the world’s most respected and sought-after parasitologists and runs Parasitology Center Inc in Scottsdale, Arizona.

He gave me a copy of his article ‘Understanding Parasites’ in which there was a sentence that always stuck with me: “A recent inspection of an expensive restaurant in Los Angeles showed that 100% of all employees (not just waiters) They had fecal matter under their fingernails.”

Fecal matter and disease (particularly parasites) usually go together. As our cities offer cuisine from increasingly exotic regions of the world, this leads to a higher incidence of parasite-borne diseases, especially if these regional foods are undercooked or even raw: Dutch herring, steak tartare, ceviche, sashimi, sushi, for example. The tapeworm is high on the list of ‘residents’ in these foods, as is the Anisakid worm.

A food handler with poor personal hygiene will likely increase exposure and risk of spread of pathogenic organisms. Years ago, kitchen staff wore gloves and hairnets when handling food. It seems they don’t do this anymore, although regular hand washing habits may be mandatory nowadays.

University of Gondar, Ethiopia

In 2003, 127 food handlers working in the canteens of the University of Gondar and Teacher Training College underwent fingernail testing. These cafes were selected because the mass provision of food is a likely source of infection transmission. Fingernail contents and stool samples were collected from the 127 food handlers. In addition to fecal matter under the nails, the following was found:

– Coagulase negative Staphylococci (41.7%), Staphylococcus aureus (16.5%), Klebisella species (5.5%), Escherichia coli species (3.1%), Serratia species (1.58%) , Citrobacter species (0.8%) and Enterobacter species (0.8%). %).

– Shigella species were isolated from stool samples of four food handlers (3.1%). None of the food handlers tested positive for Salmonella species and Shigella species with respect to the contents of their fingernails.

Fortunately, intestinal parasites were not detected in the contents of the nails, but intestinal parasites were detected in their feces:

– Ascaris lumbricoides (18.11%), Strongyloides stercoralis (5.5%), Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (1.6%), Trichuris trichiura (1.6%), Hookworm species (0.8%), Gardia lamblia (0.8%) and Schistosoma mansoni (0.8%). ) ); 1.6% of study subjects tested positive for A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, hookworm, and Giardia lamblia.

It is clear from this and many other studies that food handlers are a potential source of infections. However, it’s not just food handlers. To give you an idea of ​​where and how pollution occurs, here are a couple of lists.

The 10 ‘dirtiest’ jobs:

1. Teacher/daycare worker

2. Cashier (bank, post office, supermarket, fast food, etc.)

3. Police

4. Animal Control Officer

5. Janitor, plumber

6. Computer repair (using dirty keyboard/mouse)

7. Doctor or nurse

8. Laboratory Scientist

9. Garbage collector

10. Meat packing house

Here are some of the dirtiest places you’ll hit on your day:

1. Supermarket trolley handle

2. Office keyboard (not yours) and mouse

3. The button of a public or office drinking fountain

4. Door handles: toilet, refrigerator and microwave in the office and home

5. Vending machine buttons

6. The kitchen sink in your house

7. Your toothbrush, if you leave it near a flushing toilet (always close the toilet lid!) and the toothbrush holder

8. TV remote control (hotels and home)

9. Anywhere around household pets (including litter boxes)

10. Escalator handrails

11. Buttons on ATMs, elevators, video game controllers

12. Gasoline pumps

13. Car steering wheels, especially with multiple drivers

Next time you’re out for a drink, think before you dip your fingers into the bowl of peanuts at the bar. Along with the nuts will be fecal matter and urine residue. Then, of course, there’s that lemon wedge in your drink:

“I worked in restaurants for years and this is what I saw. Lemons and limes were delivered and put in the fridge. When the bartender needed a handful of them, he would go get them by stuffing them into his apron. Then he would slice them into a cutting board and would put them in glasses and place them on the bar Customer #1 orders a beer and pays for the beer Bartender puts cash in the register Customer #2 orders a vodka and soda with a lemon. The bartender comes to the ice bin and fills the cup, grabs a lemon and squeezes the lemon into the drink. At no time does the water touch the fruit or his hands and this continues all day. Money, ice and fruit. Oh, and the occasional trip to the bathroom.”

Men generally have more germs under their fingernails than women, but more germs are found under artificial nails than under real ones.

Of course there is hope…

Viruses and bacteria are an integral part of our lives. There are billions of them in and around us. A strong and healthy immune system will usually take care of most of the daily threats we pick up from that dirty grocery cart or house pet, but being aware of this is also valuable.

Some facts about nails:

— Onychopathy is the study of the fingernails and toenails.

— Nails are essentially dead cells that are made of a protein called keratin, the same substance as our hair. We’d get by just fine without them, but they’re great for helping us do tricky things like gripping things better, texting, and scratching ourselves. They also absorb some of the stress that the tips of the finger bones would have to bear.

— Nails grow faster when you’re young, faster on your most active hand, and more in summer than winter. They also grow faster in pregnant women.

— Dry nails? Just drink more water.

We have one last health note…

Try not to drink directly from aluminum cans. If you buy canned drinks and take them home, wash the lids as they may contain a virus called leptospirosis.

There is a lot of fear mongering on the internet about people dying from drinking from unwashed cans. I’m not sure about the accuracy of that, but if there’s any truth here, it would be because the victim had such a weakened immune system that it offered little to no resistance to invading bacteria.

Tests have shown that some aluminum cans contain dried rat urine containing Leptospira i. The cans are typically stored in rat-infested warehouses and delivered directly to retail stores without cleaning. Just so you know.

Let’s keep exposure to a minimum.

With its improving economic status, Hong Kong attracts a large number of people looking for pleasant places to spend their retirement years. Even if this place has an attractive economy, there are some important factors that expats in Hong Kong should take into account, such as the weather, the government, and the tax system. In addition, they must also take into account the state of health care, real estate and shopping in this place. Above all, expats should not forget to assess the cost of living in the Chinese autonomous place.

Climate and Government

Although Hong Kong is still part of the People’s Republic of China, this region has a local government that has control over the economic activities of the place. Other than these, China has no control over policies related to immigration and foreign affairs in Hong Kong. In this regard, those who plan to become expatriates in Hong Kong should contact the local agencies that are in charge of immigration services. On the other hand, before spending time in this place, it is convenient to know its climate. The winter season in this place begins in December and ends in February. Meanwhile, the hot or summer season starts from June to September.

Tax System and Medical Care

Expats in Hong Kong are encouraged to do business as it has a thriving economy. Also, this place has low tax rates because its inflation rate is stable. People in this place can choose between two types of tax system implemented in the area. They can choose whether they will follow the fixed taxation of 16 percent of their income or the adjusted taxation in which the taxes that people will pay are adjustable from two to 19 percent. In terms of healthcare, expats can visit numerous efficient public hospitals in case of emergencies. If they do not have a budget for their medical needs, these hospitals bill them at a later date.

Real Estate and Shopping

Many expats in Hong Kong experience real estate difficulties as condo and apartment rentals are more expensive than those in major US cities. Also, the apartments are not spacious compared to apartments in San Francisco and New York City. Meanwhile, for those who visit this place to do some shopping, they can find plenty of Hong Kong fashion items and accessories. In addition, there are numerous on-site retailers offering cheap clothing, bags, and footwear.

Cost of living

Expats in Hong Kong should know that the cost of living in this place is very expensive. In this sense, they are encouraged to consider some of the businesses in which they can invest to help them improve their money. With this information, those who plan to stay in Hong Kong for several years should have a long-term plan to be able to afford the cost of living here. Entrepreneurs are also advised to first assess the status of their investments before deciding to migrate to Hong Kong.

If you’re looking to spot a whale, the first thing you’ll hear people say is:

“Hermanus has the best land-based whale watching in the world” and “You’re sure to see hundreds of whales coming out of the waters off the rocky cliffs to the west” or “You’ll definitely see them launch from the vantage point.” point of the golden beaches of the East”.

And this is indeed a fact.

Every year, like clockwork, the whales return to Hermanus for their annual meeting at Walker Bay, carrying out their annual mating and calving rhythms.

Given what people really understand about the southern right whale, so named because it was the “right” whale to hunt, the whales’ perspective will always remain something mysterious and unknown.

What we do know is that they prefer the warmer waters of Walker Bay as a breeding ground rather than the cold waters of their usual spot, the Arctic Circle.

According to the calendar they can be seen from July to November. It’s hard to say which areas of Walker Bay or what time of day to expect them. But there is an expert in Hermanus who surely knows.

The Hermanus Whale Crier

If you’ve never heard of the Hermanus Whale Crier, that’s because Hermanus is the only place in the world to have one. If you are interested in whales, this is one whale expert you should definitely know about.

Pieter Claasen was the first to put a horn-shaped tube of algae to his lips at the age of 11, sounding the first base notes announcing the arrival of the whales. Since then, his predecessor, Wilson Salukazana, has become Hermanus’s second whale crier.

He answers all the questions he is asked about whales…

Wilson can tell you where they come from, what guys are in the bay, and even the names of the aerobatics they perform. He also knows the best coves on the coast and the places where you can get within 20m of these tame divers.

His most useful service, however, is a system for notifying whale enthusiasts via coded calls issued from his kelp trumpet.

When he sees the whales on the horizon, he blows his trusty horn as if he were at home watching a football game. And the crowd comes running. Two long calls to the overlook at Roman Rock. A short stopover to Old Harbor where she can get up close to the whales with the telescopes provided. One long, one short, and one long call to the Voëlklip lookout post.

These are just a few, but there are other locations that Whale Crier says are better vantage points for whale watching.

Wilson the Whale Crier has many whale stories to tell. If you catch him at the right time, you will be able to hear the legends that he has collected from the past that only he knows how to tell.

The ancient migration patterns of whales have remained intact for thousands of years…

Moby Dick Hermanus Whale Festival

Another thing you can count on is the annual Moby Dick Hermanus Whale Festival, which takes place during the last week of September. Expect things to be in full swing, offering holiday greetings to the whales upon their return.

The festival is perfectly timed for the spring season and serves as a great way to welcome the spirit of spring for both parties.

The festival is centered around the town’s market square. Food stalls sell food freshly produced from nearby farms, artisans display skillfully made earthenware pottery and assorted trinkets, all uniquely crafted by hand. Restaurants are buzzing with activity and pubs for drinks until late at night.

Hermanus is for everyone

Hermanus is a haven for craftsmen and musicians, easygoing people and artists. Everyone sees its mountains, beaches, wild flora, fauna and of course the whales from their own point of view.

Whether you’re gazing at the ocean from rocky cliffs to the west or marveling at sunsets from golden beaches to the east, the friendly people of Hermanus invite you to draw your own experiences.

The 7 comfortable and spacious bandas, built with makuti and Jambies (local mats made from palm leaves).

For many, the thought of a vacation conjures up images of relaxing beaches and crystal clear seas, but if you have a sense of adventure and feel you need a challenge, there are plenty of exhilarating alternatives. After searching the internet for specialized adventure holiday companies, I came up with an exciting option, a trip that combines sightseeing, trekking, rafting and jungle safari in Nepal.

The journey began in Kathmandu, a fantastically colorful and vibrant city that, at 4,400 feet above sea level, feels like it is on top of the world. The mountains surrounding Kathmandu are incredible and the views from the impressive temples are a sight to behold. The Swayambhu and Pashupati temples are definitely worth a visit and are both World Heritage Sites.

Our next step was to spend the night in Bhahtapur before traveling 198 km west to the lakeside town of Pokara. This was a great bus trip and the amazing scenery made up for the lack of comfort. Pokara is very popular with tourists and travelers; it has impressive waterfalls, caves and the impressive chains of Annapurna, Manaslu and Dhaulagiri with peaks of more than 800 m. Phewa Lake gives the town a sense of peace; many artists are drawn to this area because of the magnificent scenery. From Pokara we embark on our 7-day trek to the foothills of the Himalayas.

A trek in Nepal allows you to directly experience the culture, lifestyle and different ethnic mixes of Nepal. Our sherpa, Chok-pa, was very helpful and I personally felt that this trek was not too strenuous. Although you need a certain level of fitness, we strike the perfect balance between rest and exercise, walking 4-6 hours a day.

To keep us on our toes, our next adventure involved a couple days of whitewater rafting on the Seti River. In short, it is about overcoming river rapids and obstacles in a rubber boat with a team of up to 8 people. At this point, I had made some steadfast friends who I still keep in touch with now. The rivers are rated from easy to nearly impossible based on the size and intensity of the rapids. The Seti runs through a wonderfully secluded area, with beautiful jungle and many easy rapids.

It was great fun and an adrenaline pumping team challenge to stay in your boat as you hit the rapids. I loved the songs around the campfire in the evenings, once a tribe from the village joined us and danced, it was a unique experience.

Our last stop was Chitwan National Park, for a jungle safari spot. This is the oldest national park in Nepal, established in 1973, and granted World Heritage status in 1984. Rich in flora and fauna, the park is home to the Bengal tiger and one of the last populations of Indian one-horned rhinoceros. The jungle rides were exciting, especially riding elephants and we were lucky enough to see the famous rhino. It is certainly a breath of fresh air to take an adventure holiday, I would recommend it to all my friends and I arrived at my desk in London feeling physically sated and mentally refreshed.

Shimmering La Parguera Bay is anything but easy to find. A series of narrow roads plunge around the corners of the mountains through Puerto Rico’s wild southwest, where jungle houses cling to the cliffs and none of the streets have names. Despite my reasonably competent navigation skills, I’m pretty sure we’ve passed the same intersection three times. We stopped. I check my map again, “I think that’s that way.”

I’m not lost. I just don’t know if it’s possible to get where I want to go. Maybe the glow-in-the-dark bay just doesn’t want to be found. But I am determined. I abandon my misleading directions and follow my instincts. With the orange wash of afternoon in the sky to the right, we head south and finally, as the sun sinks towards the sea, we descend from the hills to a town that hugs the coast.

Most of the stores are closed. It’s not tourist season yet. We park in a muddy parking lot and wander the sidewalk looking through dusty windows at tailored cotton clothing and pharmaceutical items as we keep an eye on the pier. Twilight has fallen. I think we are going in the wrong direction. Incandescence spills into the street from the open door of a restaurant. We stopped and ordered dumplings stuffed with pulp and onion. The owner, a gentleman, refills our rum and cokes himself and gives us the inside scoop on where to find a boat.

An hour later, we are standing in the dark at the end of a pier. Bungalows on stilts stretch along the shoreline and the warm light from the living rooms dances on the water. A handful of intrepid travelers join us as we board a fiberglass tour boat. Soon we glide through twisted mangroves and islets where ghostly white herons nest in the trees.

We pass under a leafy archway and into a secluded cove. The captain turns off the engine and then turns off the light. My eyes begin to adjust. The clouds move over the stars in a moonless sky. The water is black.

We’re here to see a bioluminescent bay. I’m not sure what to expect. Perhaps the entire surface of the deep begins to glow at any moment, illuminated by billions of microscopic dinoflagellates. I wait, almost holding my breath. Then, to my surprise, our young first mate, Alejandro, removes his shirt and slides out to sea.

A brilliant blue, swirling watery stardust follows her every stroke. I am paralyzed. I understand why the US Marine Protected Area list includes this bay. It is a treasure, a rare brilliant gem. As I watch the web show, I reflect on the splendid diversity of our brilliant blue planet. I am also aware that the overuse of waterways has already reduced the scintillation phenomenon and hope solutions are found and bioluminescence survives for generations to come. Perhaps, in the long run, it is a good thing that La Parguera is not easy to find. I thought there was something wrong with my map. Maybe it works fine.

Information, please

GET THERE

Fly into Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla. It is on the west side of Puerto Rico and offers easier access to La Parguera. Prices are comparable to San Juan.

Directions to La Parguera: Follow Interstate Highway PR 2E along the coast for 29 km. Turn right at CII Los Vélez and immediately turn left at PR 114 and go 13.6 km. Turn… Oh, just check out the Google Maps link. I know it sounds complicated and it sounds like it would be easier to stay on the interstate a bit longer and then go through town. It is not. The streets are not marked and you will wander in circles. Trust Google and you will get there. Trust me. It’s worth the trip.

THE BIOLUMINESCENT BAY

Like most places in Puerto Rico, if you want to head out on the bay, just walk down to the dock at sunset and look for Johnny’s Boats. Things are pretty casual and you should expect to wait. But don’t worry, you’re on island time!

WHEN TO GO

It is definitely better to go in the early afternoon on a moonless night. As long as it doesn’t rain, the boats run all year round.

WHERE TO STAY

Villa Parguera is right on the water and hosts live Latin bands on Saturday nights.

The affordable guest house La Jamaca is located just steps from the water.

WHERE TO EAT

Best advice… look for the crowds. Wherever you see a group of locals, you know it’s a good place.

MORE FUN STUFF

Go scuba diving or snorkeling with West Divers. Diving in the Wall of La Parguera. Drop from a thousand feet to the bottom of the sea!

Go deep sea fishing and catch blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, grouper, dorado, trevally, barracuda. Again, just head to the pier. Ask for Captain Mickey, a marine biologist who really knows his stuff.

Book: A love for life

Screenwriter: Penny Hancock

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

The story takes place in Cambridge, England.

Fanella, an editor at a publishing house, enjoys a good time with her boyfriend, Steven. One day she visits her friend Teresa’s house and she seems upset. Teresa learns by taking the interview from her that Steven has left her. He wants to have a child but Fanella does not agree with him because she is now only twenty-one years old. He doesn’t want to hurt her and leave her understanding that she can’t have any children.

Summer vacation is over: Rod, an elementary school teacher, is getting ready to go to school. He heads to school saying goodbye to his beautiful wife, Leah. At school, he had a long argument with Teresa, Timoteo’s mother. He later sadly tells of the fact that Leah doesn’t want children yet.

Despite being single, Fanella discovers that it is possible for her to adopt a child. At one point, Teresa encourages her to talk to Rod about children’s books. Although this is a suspicious type of proposition, Fanella can’t help but agree to talk to Rod about it. When she has an argument with Rod, she becomes attracted to Rod. She learns that he has already written many children’s storybooks. She asks him to send her the stories that he can have a read on all of them.

Thanks to Teresa, Fanella learns that Rod is already married to a beautiful girl, Leah. Disappointed, she wants to forget all of her feelings for him and tries to concentrate on preparing for a visit from a social worker. The social worker will examine her if she is capable of adopting a child or not. Not having a partner, Fenella finds the visit like an ordeal. She now has to wait until the result is published.

This is close to Christmas day. Fanella along with Teresa visit Timothy’s school. They meet Rod there. Fanella may have the same feelings that she felt before during her first meeting. But seeing Rod’s wife, Fanella understands that she won’t get him as his life partner. Fortunately, she is approved for a child adoption process. This news makes her lovely and happy. Finally, Ella Fanella gets to be with Ellie, a five-year-old girl who has some kind of behavioral problem.

Spring season underway. Fanella meets a new man, Mark. He is a colleague of Teresa’s husband. Teresa invites Fanella to a dinner and there she meets Mark. In an argument, she invites her to a restaurant. She agrees and they have a good time there. Fanella, having the option of meeting him again, offers to have dinner at her house. Happily, Mark accepts the offer. Ellie joins the school where so does Timothy. She finds Rod good as her class teacher. Rod is told by Fanella that Ellie has some behavior problem, but that doesn’t matter to him.

Dan’s mother makes a child abuse complaint against Rod. Her principal has to suspend him until he gets a final solution from the court. At home, Leah comes to find out about the affair. She doesn’t like to comfort Rod hearing this, she isn’t even glad to see him.

When Mark arrives at Fanella’s house, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to have dinner with him. Because she needs to take care of Eille and spend time with Mark. Surprisingly, he wants to meet her again.

Another day Teresa has a little argument with Fanella about Rod’s suspension. Teresa presents Rod as innocent. Fanella can sense that she is still in love with Rod. She feels bad about Rod’s suspension. Eillie doesn’t like her new temporary class teacher. There, Rod rewrites some of his stories and argues with Fanella about them. She plans to post everything after reviewing them. However, she wants to focus on Mark avoiding Rod’s life.

After arriving home, Rod is shocked to see his wife Leah with a neighbor Mr. Simpson on her arm and kissing him on the lips. Leah is in an illicit relationship with the man. She starts to love him while they had a contract together. So Rod and Leah decide not to be together anymore. Leah presents that this decision would be good for both of them.

Fanella receives a call while at the office. It’s Mark’s phone call. She wants to cook for her and Ellie. In the evening, they eat the food that Mark prepares for them. But Ellie doesn’t like Mark. As she yells to see Mark here, he comes out and wants to come over later.

Rod and Fanella meet again in his office. This time they talk about the changes in the stories. So Rod asks Fanella to hang out with him for a while. There he shares her old feelings with her and kisses her. Teresa wants Fanella not to get involved in a relationship with Rod. But she wants to leave Mark thinking about his adopted daughter, Ellie. Mark is not the right person even for her son. She later clears things up with him outside his house that this is all over.

Meanwhile, Leah wants to go back to Rod feeling sorry. Rod asks for time to think about this matter because the love for Fanella grows in his heart. He approaches the street from Fanella’s house and notices her kissing someone in front of the door. He comes back from there with a misunderstanding.

The complaint against Rod is dropped and he is proven innocent. He starts coming to school again. Meanwhile, Fanella is very happy to be notified that she has been selected to stay with Ellie permanently. So Ellie asks for a party and invites Rod as a surprise for Fanella. At the party, he proposes to her and she accepts him with great joy.

The story ends with a beautiful family scene. Rod, Ellie and Fanella, three of them are so happy that she is pregnant now.

I moved to Thailand in 2003 simply because I was bored with my life in the United States. I lived in Boston, studied in New York, and traveled the world.

Traveling was my favorite thing to do until I went to Thailand. It was like I was looking for something in the world and I finally found it in Thailand. After that, he had little to no desire to travel further. Although I missed my family and friends in the United States, I was bored after a week of visiting them, and I longed for Thailand every time I went on vacation to the United States.

First of all, I love Thai food. There is so much variation that you can go months just eating Thai food and not get bored. Thai food has a wide range of flavors from spicy, sweet and sour. I learned to do a little bit of that, but I usually cook Western food and my wife cooks Thai food. You can learn a LOT about Thai food here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_cuisine, however it really is an art that requires endless practice to achieve perfection. People are usually nice and friendly too. They love white fur, so if you’re pale white… that’s actually a good thing! Where I’m from, it seems like you haven’t been able to get out of the house or office to get some sunlight in years.

The culture is uniquely Thai, though it is also a mix of surrounding cultures. The Chinese have some firm hold on Thailand in both culture and business. Schools in Thailand are not that good and teach compliance and memorization for the most part. I have also connected with many Bangkok expat families over the years in Thailand.

The climate in Thailand can be described as hot and humid for the most part. There is a rainy season and a not so rainy season. For me, the humidity is the worst part. If you are in a big city, pollution along with humidity is lethal. Many taxis, buses, shopping centers, restaurants, etc. They have air conditioning, but walking outside even 10 minutes can make you sweat. I have friends who literally carry a couple of sweat rags or even a towel with them wherever they go. Don’t plan on doing a lot of walking in town if you want to be comfortable for a sit-down (no shower) dinner later.

There is so much in Bangkok, let alone in the country of Thailand. I hope you can experience it one day!

The world is transforming into a digital platform with each passing day, more and more people are going online. Consumers and brands are joining this platform as a revolution in every way possible, be it blogging, social media or browsing. Those companies that have not focused on this until now are probably behind their competitors. Without a digital presence, you cannot have a big impact in the market. That’s where eCommerce sites come in, a site or portal that provides all the features and benefits that a business and its users need to engage and make future decisions.

A perfectly designed and developed eCommerce site would have all the basic and advanced features to make it easy to navigate, keep track of details, and provide a better experience each time the user lands on it. It consists of amazing graphics in conjunction with conspicuous wording that is hard to ignore. You can also display and make some types of sale on a static site, but dynamic websites are recommended for better service. In the dynamic ones, you can easily customize the adjustable things and add products with changing discounts and offers.

It is a unique way to offer that experience that captivates your target audience and encourages them to come back again. A thank you page, follow-up email, or digital marketing all play a good role in bringing you back to your landing page, which means a continuous stream of revenue and satisfied customers. You can set different payment options, tracking options for orders and can also store your details to provide personalized service next time. It also allows you to add advanced features.

The popular languages ​​for ecommerce website design and development are Magento, PHP, Python, etc. Some of the languages ​​cost money like Magento and Zen cart, and others like PHP and Drupal are free to use. A professional design company would also mix HTML codes to make it more SEO friendly. No matter what they do, the result should always be a user-friendly site with easy navigation, engagement features, and convenient shopping.

Now comes the main point, who should invest in this? Just about anyone who wants to do business online and sell more products in addition to influencing their offline presence. If you are in the retail, real estate, food or any other field where you find opportunities to expand your business online, then it is the best option for you.
