Got the new site up today. It’s been a while since I’ve redesigned my own site. I’m loving the WordPress theme I picked out it’s really full featured on the back end and totally integrates everything.
I definitely recommend going with a WordPress back end for nearly any site that has frequently changing content. WordPress isn’t just for blogs anymore.

It was just over 2.5 years. What are you going to do?
I may be back now we’ll just have to see. I’m launching my new web design proprietorship site so I’m sure I’ll be doing some posts about web design, creativity, why your company needs a website, etc. Sure to include some geeky links and re-posts from cool stuff all over the web plus plenty of social media news and info as well.
