Our Website Approach

Have a vision? Or not a clue what you want your site to look like? No matter your starting point, we will work with you and for you.

1. Design

We’ll listen and work with you to understand your aesthetic and goals. You can be involved as much as you like throughout the process. Your design will look great on devices and screens of all sizes, from phone to desktop.

2. Build

We’ll develop a WordPress site and collaborate with you to make sure it is going in the right direction, pivoting when necessary. We’ll create or integrate any extras — online registration, calendar, social media, eCommerce, job boards, newsletters, parent permission forms, or whatever you need. Additionally, if requested, we’ll run your site’s pages through an automated accessibility testing tool and/or screen reader.

3. Launch

We’ll assist you with purchasing a hosting plan and registering a domain if you need and go live with finishing touches including optimizing for speed, registering with search engines, adding SSL, anti-spam protection, site traffic monitoring, and domain-specific email addresses, if desired.

4. Train

We’ll provide a training session and produce a customized website guide so you can update the content of your own website on your own when it is all done.
