Here’s a tip I learned from Armand Morin in his recent podcast.

Most website owners severely underestimate the value of their guarantee imagery.

Someday, eons ago, someone sitting in a room in the mid-1990s crafted a guarantee image using Photoshop 1.0, a low resolution camera and a 12 color screen. He uploaded it using his 28.8 modem and called it a day.
