WordPress is open source content management software and currently powers around 25% of all websites on the Internet.

The WordPress project is contributed to by tens of thousands of developers all over the world.

WordPress allows us to develop flexible and customisable websites to modern standards and observes web development best practices.

Furthermore, the community of web developers that use WordPress reaches far and wide. It allows us to tap into this collective intelligence and bring that wealth of experience to your project.

WordPress runs many of the top websites, including:

Mercedes Benz

Usain Bolt

Kylie Minogue

The Rolling Stones

Provided you subscribe to one of our ongoing website care plans, we will be your first point of call should something go wrong with your website.

We determine if the issue is for the hosting company to fix something or if we include it in your care plan.

You should be aware that the different elements on a website do sometimes just do go wrong; contact forms stop working, images stop being visible.  If we can fix it as part of your ongoing care plan, then we will.  If it's more complicated, or something you have done yourself then we give our clients a repair service which is £50 per hour and is charged by the minute pro-rata.

We train you and include video tutorials to help you publish and manage the content on your website, but ask about our all-inclusive care and management package.

Once your website is launched, we will provide 30 days of support to make sure any bugs have been ironed out and that you are confident using your new website. After this you will need to subscribe to one of our ongoing website care plans to make sure your website is looked after and maintained. These website care plans include updating your software, regular backups, security checks and making sure your website is online and open for business 24/7/365. More information on our website care plans is available upon request.

The time it takes for your website to appear on page 1 of Google depends on several factors. It depends on the search phrase people are using to find your site and the number of other websites that are also available for those search phrases.

Nobody can honestly say how long it will take for your website to appear at the top of search engine results pages (including people who work for Google). However, several factors can improve your chances.

Building your website on WordPress is a good start as WordPress has some excellent Search Engine Optimisation fundamentals built-in.

Creating unique and exciting content regularly for your website is also critical to increase your visibility amongst search engines. Launching your site and then forgetting about it is a surefire way to get lost amongst the noise.

With a great SEO plan, depending on the type of site you have, and the clients you want to attract, and your relevant keywords, it could take you anywhere between 1 month and a year to reach a good position.

Some websites never reach page 1 of the search engines organically and need to use Google Adwords or other techniques to drive visitors to the site.

The domain emails are things like info@yourdomain.com.  The perfectly acceptable alternative is to have a Gmail email, which would look like yourname@gmail.com

Google Local Search and Google My Business are what Google uses to help searchers (customers) to connect with businesses who provide a product or service which is local to them.

Good examples are hairdressers, plumbers, shops, garages, etc.

If your website is going to make the best out of the Google Local Search system, then simple things like the address, opening times, contact details need to be configured correctly.
