Trusted Platforms

Is your web designer holding your website to ransom? If they have built your website with “their own content management system” then it is very difficult to ever move your website or get someone new to manage it. What happens if they close their doors – who will be updating the software to keep it secure and Google friendly? Most of our websites are set up with WordPress (It is an Open Source / Free Content Management System that is used by millions of people world-wide). The beauty of this is that even if something were to happened to us, you will have all your own login details and will be able to pass them to anyone you choose to manage your website.

Our clients also have the freedom to login and make their own content changes themselves. They can even add unlimited pages and photos themselves for free. This is perfect for those who start-up business who want to start with a simple, affordable, professional looking website that has the ability to grow as their business grows. We also use Shopify for some of our client’s online stores (ecommerce). 

You are in Control

You will have full control and ownership of your website so that you are free to move it, change it, or pass it to your choice of webdesigner for future changes and management.
