Absolutely! All websites that we build are 100% responsive and mobile friendly. Curious about what it means for a site to be responsive? In short, this means that your website is coded in a way that will allow it to flex, shift, and resize in order to accommodate the window or screen size that the website is being viewed on. This ensures that your website functions and behaves properly on all different devices and screen sizes so that your viewers can enjoy the same experience regardless of how they’re viewing your website.
Yep! We’re happy to work with other content management systems and even static HTML sites for clients who have existing sites, however when building a new website we always do so on the WordPress platform. WordPress is currently the industry standard in content management systems and frankly, we love it. Not just because we’ve been working with it for 14 years, but because it is allows us to access, develop, and manipulate any aspect of your website’s appearance and functionality while still providing a simple user-friendly interface that you’ll be able to use to edit/remove/add content on your site when we’re finished. For those of you unfamiliar with the platform, we’re happy to provide instructions for how to complete certain tasks on your new website for no additional charge!
The short answer is: it depends. When building new sites we take several precautions to ensure a base layer of security is in place. First, we use extremely complex passwords when creating the administrative account for your site. We only use the latest versions of any software used on your site. If you website is hosted on our server then we will automatically push major security updates to your site when possible. This doesn’t include updates to plugins used on your website. We do offer WordPress maintenance and security packages to ensure your software is up to date, your site automatically thwarts and bans hack attempts, and redundant backups of your site are performed.
