WordPress Design: The Perfect Choice for Your Website
I specialise in designing websites built on the WordPress platform for Mackay small businesses and non-profits. WordPress is the world’s most popular website management system. It is used by large organisations, including the White House, Sony Music and Disney.
Why do I recommend WordPress? There are many reasons to use WordPress, but the main one is that it allows for virtually limitless functionality at very affordable prices. For more, see Why WordPress?
Think of WordPress as a frame for a house. It provides a framework for your website in the same way as the framework for a house.
You still want to make it yours in the way that it:
Looks (website design)
Functions (website development)
We look after your needs in both design and development.
