Blog Customization

We have to admit that we haven’t always been big WordPress fans. Being the visually finicky poeple that we are, those who are obsessed with organization and efficiency, we never really liked a blog that pretended to be a website. Really, all the information was there, but where? You couldn’t find anything! So many words on one page, it  made your head hurt. But something wonderful has happened in the WordPress world. Beautiful themes have emerged, making it possible for a blog to actually look like a website!

Now, you’re probably wondering, “Why would I want a blog instead of a traditional website?” The truth is, you might not. If you simply wish to present some basic information, some images and a way to contact you, a traditional HTML website will probably work best for you. There’s no need to introduce the complexity of a blog if you don’t need the functionality. However, if you’re looking for a website that is a dynamic, living, breathing, often changing representation of you or your organization, then a blog driven website is for you. Some other advantages of a blog website are:

  • There are hundreds of well-designed WordPress themes to choose from.
  • Changing from one theme to another can be very easy to do.
  • A variety of powerful plugins are available to add cool functionality to your site in a matter of seconds!
  • Most WordPress themes include search engine optimization tools to help increase your ranking.
  • You can maintain your own website, if you want.

Next question…why do you need us to set up your WordPress blog? Isn’t it all just a bunch of posts presented on a page? Not even close. Setting up a customized WordPress theme is no small task. There are countless settings to be configured, decisions to be made as to how to organize your content, and ways to modify your theme that we/re only familiar with because of our years of software development experience. We don’t have to do much programming with WordPress, but some of the customization tasks would be impossible for us if we didn’t have those skills. Let us take care of this for you, and it will save you time (and a few headaches). Your end-result will be one rockin’ blog website!
