You Control the Content

Control is good. For one low price and with no monthly fees you’ll be given the power to update and control your data. You won’t need to call a “web guy” to get some new information on your site. All you’ll need to do is login and change the information yourself. It’s easy. Having an issue or can’t figure something out? No problem, we’ll help. Give us a call or send an email and we’ll either solve the issue for you or show you how to do it (your choice).

You’ll be able to add new pages, blog posts, widgets, sidebar content, links and more.

The customizable widgets you choose will allow you to update information using several formats. Some of these formats include the Google calendar, text boxes, youtube and other video content, pictures from flikr, and much more. We want you to feel confident about having a website that looks better than your competition.

We want your site to have features and elements that increase business and make it easy for your visitors. Sometimes when issues arise or you accidentally do something in your control panel we’ll be just a call away. We want you to feel confident and excited about your new website.

If there is any confusion about anything just give us a call. We’ll be happy to explain it to you in detail until you fully understand. It’s our pleasure.

Having a Forum on Your Website

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It can be implemented within any website built by us. The forum originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content. Check it out!

What is the difference between plug-ins and widgets?

Plug-ins are functions that do something to your website. A plug-in can serve a back-end purpose and never be visible to you or the public. A widget allows you to easily add design elements to your website by dragging and dropping the element you want. Widgets are always plug-ins, but plug-ins don’t always have widgets. To better illustrate some widgets and plug-ins take a look at the list below. There are hundreds of widgets and plug-ins out there, this list will give you an idea of some of the common ones we use. If it’s out there and works, you could have it on your WordPress website created by us.

Here’s a “brief” list of some common widgets and plug-ins we use:
