  • Unfortunately, WordPress can become complex very quickly. Each special feature you want to apply to your website requires additional plugins to make that function work. A plugin is a special code that can easily “break” other codes in the process. Additionally, failure to update plugins can make your site less secure. Most business owners managing WordPress tend to find this platform less intuitive and become fearful of updating plugins.

  • The advantages of conducting a website audit include increasing metrics and optimizing search engine results. Conducting regular website audits is important to keep your website up to date with new product or service offerings, portfolio materials, and client feedback in order to attract the clients best aligned with your current offerings. Performing a website audit quarterly is the best practice, but bi-annually is also sufficient.

A website that isn’t properly optimized will result in losing valuable user engagement and conversion.

Integrated marketing helps spread your message, keeps customers seeking out fresh content, reaches new customers resulting in a higher conversion rate, and allows you to stay at the front line with fellow competitors.

Email marketing has proven to be a successful implementation that gives your business the power to reach customers in a place people visit almost every day.

  • Content includes the words, images, and multimedia utilized on your website. Content strategy is the practice of planning, creating, delivering, and executing that content. Effective content strategy focuses on your brand, improves user experience, and successfully distributes the content. Content strategy helps put your brand on the map and create brand awareness.
