Services Store

WordPress is open source content management software and powers over 30% of all websites on the Internet, and over 60% of all sites that use a content management system. The project is contributed to by tens of thousands of developers all over the world and is growing from strength to strength. WordPress allows us to develop flexible and customisable websites to modern standards and observes web development best practices. Not only does it increase the quality of your final solution, but it reduces the investment required compared to a custom content management system.

Let's talk about it! Some websites are in such a state of disrepair that we may need to charge an onboarding fee to get it to the place where it could even handle a support plan.

Although we do not provide hosting or domain registration as stand alone services, we do include it on any of our plans as long as your site uses best practices for media hosting (e.g. host videos on separate server).

Long wait times, inexperienced support, incorrect answers, server downtime, restricted administrative access.  These are just some of the pitfalls with most hosting we've seen (and we've worked with over a dozen).  Because of GoDaddy's bad track record and poor customer service, we don't generally do work on GoDaddy hosting.  We do offer our own hosting that is included on any of our support plans.  Or we are happy to recommend other quality web hosts.

It is our practice to install Google analytics software on your new website so the data is tracked. Once you log into your Google Analytics account you can see a wide range of website statistics including: number of visits, page views, the amount of time people are spending on your website, and much more.

An interactive prototype is a black and white version of your website that is designed to prove the functionality and features as they will work in the browser. No design elements are applied at this stage as the prototype is just built to allow all parties to make final decisions on the functionality.

Great question. And we only do that. All our sites have breakpoints that are optimized for mobile viewing.

No we don't. We've found that we just can't beat the performance, security, and 24-7 support availability of Google's basic level in their G Suite offerings, which is around $6 / user when we checked last. You can see their detailed comparison for more info.

Because it is a benefit to you and to us, we don't allow immediate purchase of our services without us both having the opportunity to get to know each other.  So the way our services store works is that instead of adding to a cart, you build a quote request.  Once you're done, you'll have the opportunity to submit it to us.  Once we've reviewed it, we'll probably have some clarifying questions (since every organization, web project and website context are different).  Once those questions are answered, and if we both feel we're a good fit for each other, we'll be in a position to send you the final quote.  Once you accept it we'll move into action.

Getting video hosting right on a webserver can be difficult and resource intensive, so usually the best practices are for you to host your videos on a 3rd party such as YouTube or Vimeo.  The exception would be a background video, for example on a home page, which are much shorter and less resource intensive and can be optimized more easily for good performance.
