WHY WORDPRESS?

WordPress is more than just a website builder. It’s a powerful, adaptable content management system.

Your self-hosted WordPress website empowers you with complete control, enabling you to craft a tailored site that perfectly aligns with your unique requirements. As your website expands, you can integrate new features and functionalities, unrestricted by the confines of hosted platforms. Additionally, you retain authority over your site’s SEO strategies, allowing you to fine-tune metadata, employ customized URLs, and enact other optimization techniques for enhanced performance.

Yes. We can add WooCommerce to any design project, for an additional fee.

WordPress is generally considered to be very good for SEO with its SEO-Friendly Structure and performance, available SEO Plugins and easy to use Content Management system.

However, it’s important to understand some SEO basics to help you build SEO optimized content within your WordPress environment.

Yes. You can learn how to work with the WordPress Dashboard, page editor and plugins.

But, if taking care of all that isn’t your thing ongoing maintenance plans are available to design clients after projects are complete.

Yes. We can discuss your content needs and determine a plan for creating the right media and copy to tell your story.

Yes. With WordPress the possibilities are endless. We can discuss your current and future goals to set you on a path to website success now and down the line.

No – because we will use the best theme I know for building WordPress: KadenceWP. With Kadence and the Gutenburg editor we can re-create almost any look you may be seeing with another theme.

As a WordPress, design specialist I know how important it is to build WordPress with a proven set of tools. We will examine whatever theme or plugins you may be interested in and discuss what the best choices are for your project.

I don’t fix problems on WordPress sites that I did not build. However, the website redesign process is all about fixing pre-existing websites, whether they we’re built with WordPress or not.

In this case “fixing” means evaluating the website overall, from both technical and content styling POV and reworking what is happening on the current site into a new WordPress site built with a reputable and reliable set of tools.

Yes. Ongoing WordPress support and maintenance services are available exclusively to design clients for a monthly fee after your initial project is complete.
