We use WordPress + Thesis to build sites that are beautiful and functional as well as search engine optimized and standards-compliant. This means your site will be loved not only by you and me, but also by your customers (and search engines!)

But, isn’t WordPress for blogs?

Yes, WordPress is great for blogs* and it’s also a remarkably stable, robust and feature packed content publishing and management system.

Did you know that Fortune 500 companies like BestBuy, OnStar, Ford and Wall Street Magazine have chosen WordPress for their content management solution? And, that many prominent universities and school organizations utilize WordPress for community outreach programs and student publications?

And, by using WordPress instead of a custom coded site, you will gain functionality, templating, and a strong support community out of the box which cuts development and support costs over the life of the web site.

*In fact, it’s the most popular blog software in use today.

Other Services

Online Presence Management

Maybe you just want to have your website or blog set-up for you and just begin writing. No problem. We can register a domain for you, set-up hosting, install WordPress and do all the configuration and set-up for you. We will of course work closely with you to make sure the end result is exactly what you want.  To round out your online presence, we can also talk about the Big 3 (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) and how you want to integrate those into your presence (or not!). Contact me and we’ll work together to create a plan that’s just right for you.

Maintenance and Upgrades

We typically encourage users to take up the responsibility of managing their own website (especially since WordPress makes most updates as simple as one-click), but we do offer maintenance services for security updates, plug-in updates, and minor changes for $75 per month.
