Content Management Systems give you full control.
Everything in today's society is mobile. From smartphones, to laptops, to iPads, people don't want to be tied down to a desk or an office. That's why we proudly work with the leading Content Management Systems to allow you to update your site from anywhere!
Utilizing a Content Management System for your site is a smart idea because:
It's Flexibile.
Content Management Systems provide you with the flexibility to be able to make changes to your site from any computer (or phone!) with an internet connection. So whether your at the office, at home, or half way across the world, you know that you have full control over the content on your site.
It's Simple.
If you have ever used Microsoft Word then you can use a Content Management System. You don't want to spend time worry about what things will look like when you hit publish, which is why every Content Management System that we use features a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing system making it easy to add/remove/change text, or add images or whatever else you would like to do.
It's Expandable.
A huge problem that we've seen with our clients is the idea that, we're here now, but this is where we want to be in the future. Your brand new start-up may not need an ecommerce solution or photo gallery now, but how about in 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? With a Content Management System, your site can grow with you and we can incorporate new features as you have need for them.
It's Custom.
Just like our standard web design services, everything that we do here is custom. Your design will start with a blank canvas and will be built specifically with your requests and your business in mind. For us, a design is more then just a design, from colors to positioning, we focus on usability and emotional response to create the crown jewel of your marketing crown.
One of the best parts of working with a Content Management Systems is the options that you have available. Though there are many different options there are three that stand out that we work with on a regular basis.
Wordpress Development
Wordpress is the Content Management System that we recommend the most to our clients. It's easy and simple and the learning curve is incredibly low. It provides you with the more basic Content Management System features but we've found that that is ultimately what the majority of companies are in need of. One of the biggest benefits of working with Wordpress is that before it became one of the best Content Management Systems, it was just a blog. Over time, it grew and people began incorporating more and more features into it and now boasts 14,000+ plugins that have been developed by the community to help to provide additional features. We have become expert Wordpress developers because of years of experience working with it and building high quality, highly usable sites for our clients.

Case Study
One of our clients, Therapeutic Kneads, approached us about a year after we had launched their initial site and asked us if we could add some increased interactivity and features to their existing site and provide them with the ability to be able to make changes themselves. We said, “Of course, it's our specialty!”
We took their existing site and built a Content Management System around it using Wordpress and giving them full control over the content of their site. We incorporated in a calendar that integrates with their existing Google Calendar account thus allowing them to keep their clients informed of what is going on.
