Wordpress
Wordpress is one of the best platforms available to business owners! It offers a flexible platform to create your unique presence on the internet, while offering an easy way to maintain that presence. No one likes a website that is static - nice way of saying "old and dated".
I often start with a blank slate…building the site with you based on your style & business needs. With the flexibility of themes and templates, we can also start with a pre-built framework. Doing this helps speed up the design process, and keep a project within your budget without compromising quality, functionality, design and style.
