WordPress made easier
website peace of mind
You’ve got a business to run. The website is very important, but not your forte. You don’t want your team to get stuck or distracted with maintaining it. You want help from a partner who can be there for you over the long-term. Someone who can help jump on a problem, yes. But better yet, someone who can prevent problems before they happen. If that sounds good, and your website runs on the WordPress platform now (or ought to), then you’ve arrived. Let’s get to work.
start with essentials
Our founder Patrick started building websites in 1994. Over the years, a growing sophistication in hosting, publishing and commerce platforms hasn’t changed the essential ingredients: start with good hardware, don’t overcomplicate the software, and invest in connectivity. We hold this to be true today.
a little extra help
You may find you could do a lot of what’s involved in WordPress maintenance yourself. It’s mostly open source and there are lots educational resources. And if you’ve thought of it, there’s probably already a plugin for that! But it’s what you don’t yet know, the unintended consequences, that may get you in the worst way at the worst time. Our clients say things like “Why did I hold out so long, trying to do it all myself?”
commitment to open source
One of the earliest employees of our parent company, before WordPress was a thing, was an old, long-haired hippie from Berkeley. He would extol the power of Linux and Perl. He preached the freedom to take your code, improve it, and host it anywhere without vendor lock-in. Yep, we dig it.
