CUSTOM WORDPRESS
Websites were mainly built to drive a simple messages or provide specific information in a visual way. They couldn't do much more than that. Today, people demand more interaction and engagement with every website. As the speed of internet continues to grow, people are engaging in unique ways never before imagined.
That's where WordPress shines. Founded in 2003 as a blogging tool, WordPress allowed publishers to write articles while also allowing registered users to comment on them. This was a futuristic idea back then. Some initial “plugins” were developed to enhance WordPress but were mainly geared towards word processing and publishing.
WordPress websites are built on themes. You need to choose one when installing. This makes themes an easy way to get your one-of-a-kind website started. Once chosen, I can build your website with any element found in any other theme with ease. Changes to your initial designs are a snap. Or if needed, create a custom theme from the ground up, adding Custom Posts or Fields for that one of a kind not available with a starter theme.
Monmouth Web Developers carefully crafts each theme to reflect your specific industry making it an easy valuable tool for any business.
I will then start building your unique business website to your specific needs either from a starter theme or a completely hand coded custom theme. Your one-of-a-kind website will be ready in a timely manner, always keeping you up to date on any progress. Once completed, I will teach you how to manage your new WordPress Website or backend tools.
