Experience
Building and maintaining websites is what we do all day, every day.
Our background is in marketing, advertising, design and technology, but the focus of our business is building websites that communicate a clear message and drive qualified visitors. The two of us do all the work, so you always know who you’ll be working with. This allows us to give each project our full attention, and means that we are available to answer questions and offer guidance during the website development project, as well as ongoing. There are well over a billion websites on the internet, our goal is for yours stand out.
Part-time developers or others who build websites with little understanding of site structure, keywords, on-site and off-site optimization, and software quality and performance will provide an inferior and less effective website.
Our technical expertise
Few small web development companies have our depth of expertise. We understand how the internet works and what is required to build a good website. We know which factors search engines use to rank websites, and which elements make a website compelling and relatable to the target audience.
Our staff :-)
Before we started this business in 2003, we had both achieved high level management positions at successful companies. Working for others taught us the importance of good communication, follow through, and responsibility.
More about our work experience.
Why We Love WordPress
There are many website platforms to choose from: Drupal, ExpressionEngine, Joomla, Wix, Shopify, Weebly, Squarespace and too many others to list here. Certainly, each has its pros and cons. We choose WordPress because of its content management and SEO capabilities, as well as the fact that it is open source and is the most popular website-building platform in the world.
Content management system
A content management system (CMS) is the technology used to manage digital content. Once we build a WordPress website, anyone with strong computer skills can add, edit and delete content. In other words, you don’t need to be a technical wiz or know computer coding to be able to update a website we build.
SEO capabilities
WordPress features give us the tools we need to achieve good search results. For example, we have the ability to generate search-friendly URLs and XML site maps. A variety of plugins help us get the most from on-page SEO. In addition, social media integration and mobile optimization are available.
Open source
WordPress is an open-source platform, so there are no fees to use it and you don’t pay for updates. Additionally, the code is open to modification, which makes it exceptionally flexible.
Developers all over the world are constantly creating new WordPress plugins. This means that whatever functionality you need, it is likely that someone has already built a plugin to address it. However, not all plugins are equal and using the wrong one can crash your site, slow it down, or open it up to security risks. Our experience and expertise means we know how to evaluate a plugin’s quality. We can also determine which one has the features you need.
Finally, the WordPress support community is active and huge. Most questions or issues we encounter have already been asked and answered by someone else.
Popularity
As WordPress is so popular, work on it never stops and changes are frequent. This makes for a system that is constantly evolving and improving. Equally important, because WordPress is so popular, in the event that your current developer doesn’t work out, it is easy to find another. Finally, there are online classes and tutorials about every aspect of the WordPress platform.
Our services after the launch
After launch, every website needs ongoing support and maintenance. We hear horror stories of developers who drop the site and run. We prefer to work as a partner with our clients. As your business changes and grows, we’ll work with you to ensure that the content on the website stays relevant. At the same time, we offer services to keep the WordPress software updated and to make sure everything is backed up on a regular schedule.
When we know that a client wants to update their own website, we take special care to make this as easy as possible for them. Finally, if a change is too significant for the client to make on their own, or if they are simply to busy to make a change, we are always happy to step in.
