We are utilizing Flash on the home page but layering text that the search engines can see over the Flash. The site uses drop downs, internal and external news feeds and lots of great content.

They had a lot of good content but the site was not found in Google. It was an html site that wasn’t easy to navigate. We rebuilt the site with a clean design that reflects their elegant spaces. The site was built in WordPress as content management. The excellent content combined with the SEO friendly WordPress brought their site to the eighth position in Google’s organic listings for the keywords Acupuncture Boca Raton.

This was costly and not easy to maintain. More and more I was asked to build sites with content management. I did the research and found that WordPress was the easiest for the client to learn how to use and I liked that the search engines responded well to the new site. After all, that’s what it’s all about.

WordPress uses themes to give a site the look and feel. I create a custom theme for your website. A theme that is unique to you and your business. I add plugins depending on how you want your site to function. After the site is finished you can maintain your site with little training. It’s a simple way for YOU to be in control of your website.

This site is a redesign of Mark’s site. His previous site was mainly to promote his book, A Place Like This. I encouraged him to write a blog since he’s a writer. His ability to move you with his wit and sincerity make his site a winner. We utilized Flash Video for his welcome video on the home page and he embeds You Tube video on his individual posts in his blog.

Palm Gallery & Custom Framing is a new client. They wanted a site that reflected the creative business they are in and one that is easy to update. I built this site with WordPress as a content management system without a blog. I used the blog feature of WordPress to create the artist section of the site. This site utilizes multiple templates, headers and footers.
