Website Design

Before you tell us about you, let us explain a bit about how we work:

• All sites will be built in WordPress which will give you content management abilities.
• We are big believers in your participation and training. Our expertise is in building a beautiful, functional site, designed for your specific needs. We will create the structure, but for the most part, We expect you to add or to provide the content. We will be there for every step and guide you, but there is no point in having a content management system if you don’t know how to log in, edit and add pages. This means a time & training commitment on your part.
• All sites will be built to be “responsive” so that they work on smaller screens well.

Tell us about your Company.
