Websites built with WordPress
WordPress
We use WordPress exclusively on every website we develop! WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that makes updating your website easy. It’s very easy to use and has an intuitive editing interface. Adding new pages, blog posts, images can be done quickly. You don’t have to rely on your website company to make updates or add new pages. It’s simple enough for anyone to make updates and add new content.
WordPress Benefits
WordPress is structured in a way that makes it easy for search engines to find the site. This also makes it naturally SEO friendly. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is easy to implement and you can add pages and content as needed to grow your business and rank high in search engine results.
Built-in Business Blog
Since WordPress was originally created as a blogging platform, creating a blog article is really easy. This makes adding new content about your services, products or company easy as well. This extra content helps search engines understand what you do and in turn, ranks you for those terms/content.
Grow Your Site with Plugins
WordPress uses third-party plugins to add functionality to any WordPress website. This lets your business expand as needed with the solutions you need. Add new sections like a calendar, booking solution, shopping cart, chat functionality, SEO, security, backups and more. Many plugins are free and some charge a modest fee. Be careful since not all free plugins are coded well and some can actually hurt your site.
Multiple Users & Management
As an administrator of a WordPress website, you can have multiple users for the website and assign different access levels and capabilities to each user. WordPress is completely browser-based so you can manage your site from anywhere on any computer.

Responsive Web Design
We build responsive web design. This means that the websites we build look great on desktop computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. It’s important to make viewing your site as easy as possible with fonts that scale with each device. You never have to pinch your screen to enlarge the text with responsive web design.
Responsive Website Benefits
The world has changed with smartphones and the need for responsive web design has become a necessity. Did you know that almost 60% of online searches originate on a cell phone? It critical that your website is mobile friendly on all devices (Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Desktop).
Responsive Websites Give a Good User Experience (Good UX)
You only get one first impression with your website. A new study shows that 88% of consumers won’t return to your site based on a bad experience. For example, if your site is not responsive, your customers have to pinch to zoom in and out to navigate your site. The text is normally way too small to read.
A responsive website scales with every device and always looks great. It re-arranges the content in a pleasing way on each device making the site easy to use. The fonts scale accordingly and always remain readable. You can only scroll up and down and never right and left.
Google Likes Responsive Websites
The reason Google likes responsive website design is that it gives a good user experience. Google has recently started penalizing sites that are not responsive by showing them lower on search engine results. This makes it almost impossible to ever get on the 1st page of Google.
Mobile websites (created through apps) were once popular but they normally showed a limited version of the website without all the images, text and content. A mobile website now is not as robust as a responsive website and thus penalized.
Google indexes your site based on the mobile view. So, if your mobile view is not showing all of the valuable content, keywords, information, etc. you might not be ranking where you should.
