The actual goal of any website design or redesign is to help your business sell more, do more, make your customers happier, etc. Now – with that out of the way, we decided a long time ago to use WordPress almost exclusively for building our client’s websites. Here are 5 reasons we choose to use WordPress for business websites and think that you should too! (more…)

We have a pretty short list of favorites that we feel are the best WordPress plugins around. As a successful web marketing company, we have tested and tried just about everything that is out there and have based our list on items that we feel not only are fantastic plugins – but that offer the most value to our client’s websites.
