Websites built from scratch

Our websites are attractive, mobile responsive and quick loading and we build them using the WordPress content management system. The advantage of WordPress is the control it allows over virtually every element of your website, and it does not limit users to a specific host.

We use Divi – a complete design framework that allows us to design and customize every part of your website from the ground up with control over everything down to the finest detail. We can create the perfect websites for you. We have hundreds of layouts to choose from along with photos, icons, and illustrations. We can build your site, so it has the look, feel and colours that match your brand.

We utilize ‘plug-ins’ that are functional applications we add to your website. The plug-ins extend the world’s favorite content management system in an almost limitless fashion.

In most cases, the plug-ins we install will depend on the kind of site you’re creating. An e-commerce store might require a shopping cart plugin, for example. There are some plug-ins that almost every WordPress installation should include, no matter your site’s focus, for example Yoast SEO.

Yoast SEO makes sure your site meets the highest technical SEO standards. It also gives you the tools to optimize your content for SEO and overall readability.

Some of our popular plug-ins include:

• Yoast SEO- optimize your content for SEO
• Wordfence- keeps your site’s data and content safe
• Custom contact forms-enable your visitors to get in touch
• Google Analytics Dashboard WP- track your site’s performance
• Mailchimp for WordPress- enable you to add new subscribers to your list from your WordPress site
• Custom Facebook Feed- adds your Facebook feed to your website, and lets you customize it
• WooCommerce- designed for online merchants
• Google Tag Manager

 Whatever your needs – subscribe buttons, online payments, embedded donation forms, schedule a call with us and we can drill down to what your website needs are.

Building a great website is a great start, but if people can’t find it then it isn’t performing well.

SEO is the practice of increasing the search ranking of your online presence. We use a combination of marketing tactics and SEO to generate traffic to your website and we measure your site’s results using analytics.

Keywords are essential to your core marketing strategy. Keywords are a particular word or phrase that describes the contents of a webpage and help search engines, like Google, match an appropriate search query to a website page. Finding good keywords that will bring traffic to your site is one of the most important things an organization can do to target your website users. We research keywords and use keyword generators. We add good keywords to every page of your website, in the headers and the body for better SEO results.
