As a small business ourselves, we understand what every small business website design needs. You’re online presence is more important today than ever before. Not everyone knows that, though.

I frequently have folks come to me because they wanted to DIY their own website, installed WordPress and bought a theme, uploaded the theme, and then realized they had no idea what to do. Guess what? It’s a lot more complicated than just installing a theme. Anyone can click “upload” and then activate the theme.…
There’s more to having a website than just paying a designer to design it and a developer to develop it. There are going to be outside costs that you have to pay for to get a website, as well as some optional costs that you may run into. It can be very confusing and feel…
I’ve been harping on SSL for a long time now. I feel like in my tech circles, I’m probably known as the SSL Lady. Years ago, Google started giving a rank boost to sites that had SSL. For me, that was a good enough reason to enable SSL on my site and so we did…
After 12 years in business, we’ve done a lot of websites. We’ve seen plenty of businesses come and go and we love the variety of websites we get to work on. One thing that’s happened a lot over the years is companies and businesses changing their image, their name, and their services. Knowing how to…
