Swimble App

A personal project for the Itzo team, Swimble is the first app to teach kids how to swim.

We're designing delightful content in video, audio, illustration and text formats that will take our young users through personalised fun learning pathways.

The challenge is creating content that engages the user to the extent that they learn swimming lessons without water - pulling this off will be a triumph of content over context.

How to rank (almost) every article on search engines

Backlinks help you rank high on Google, it's a fact. Here's a simple 3-step framework for ranking almost every article on the TOP SERP positions without spending a fortune on backlinks. 1. Choose high-intent keywords Huge brands often miss a ton of high-quality, low-volume, long-tail keywords. That's your place to shine. 2. Write the best article on the given subject. Look, Google is smart. No need to try hacking the algorithm. If your article is the best in the world for the users' intent, you'll be 1st. User-first content always beats SEO-first content. 3.
