Spotlight: Sonia Hunt Blog

Ever wonder what experts like those at Nicasio Design and Development can do for your professional blog? Sure, Wordpress is the best and easiest to use blog out there so you could tinker with your personal blog alone with no help from experts. That’s the beauty of Wordpress—if you can turn on a computer and connect to the Internet you can use it. But there’s a difference between blogging for fun and a blog used to promote your business, especially when you are your business. Take a look a one of Nicasio’s latest site launches, Sonia Hunt Blog.

Wordpress: Why You Should Leave Easy to the Professionals

It seems like the beginning of a joke, right? Two horses and Wordpress walk into a bar. Cue the snare drum. You must be asking yourself, “Why would I pay someone good money to handle something as simple and easy-to-use as Wordpress?” Or maybe you are thinking it is not worth paying someone for something you could do yourself. These are valid thoughts, but let me let you in on a little secret. Why is it worth paying professionals? Because people judge books by their covers. Let me show you what I mean.

You don’t have to be a Tech Genius to Use WordPress as a CMS

That’s the genius of WordPress—the ease with which almost anyone can download, set up, learn and use this content management system (CMS) to design, build and keep your site up to date. If you’re not using WordPress as your CMS, your website stress is too high, and here’s why:

  • You can download this CMS for free and then use it to build any kind of website you need.
  • You or anyone on your team who knows how to email and use MicrosoftWord can learn basic WordPress editing quickly. After the fast and easy set-up, download a theme, move contentaround whenever you feel like it.

What WordPress Can Do

If you’re different than the average bear, you already know that Wordpress isn’t just good for blogs. But hold up Yogi! Do you really know all that WordPress has to offer as a CMS? These are just a few of the ways that we’ve used custom WordPress development to allow our clients to update their websites as easily as writing an email.

  1. As a news or magazine site. Feature articles can appear on the first page and sidebar categories can take you to different sections such as Sports, Fashion, and more. Best of all, with some custom WordPress development by us, you can even have multiple authors contribute content without messing up the design of the site. Don’t believe us? Check out SavannahMagazine, a site we developed a custom framework for the back-end in just this way.

How Old Are You? The Lifespan of a Website

You might think that once you’ve built a website, you’re done. Some would say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But according to research, the lifespan of a typical website is only 2-5 years with the shorter end of the spectrum being for those who have audiences with high expectations. But do you really want to gamble on the idea that your audience doesn’t have high expectations in this economy?

There are a few key things to look out for that signal your website may be on the verge of a long, slow, and painful death:

WordPress Site Launch: Island Veterinary Clinic

Having been around since 1973 the four veterinarians and their staff that make up Island Veterinary Clinic decided it was time for a facelift. The clinic chose Nicasio to create a new logo (pictured at left) and a website to showcase their services, pets they currently have ready for adoption, and even a listing of lost and found pets.

The Success of WordPress

WordPress is one of the most efficient and productive blogging platforms available on the Internet. For example, people hosting Java often end up returning to, or discovering for the first time, WordPress. Its functionality and ease of use accommodates both new bloggers on the scene as well as those who have been blogging for years.

Both amateurs and professionals alike want their blog to appear attractive. WordPress offers literally thousands of themes that are unique, simple to use, and easily customizable. Bloggers can choose from one, two, or three columns, text styles, graphics, color combinations, and an endless variety of other details to ensure the blog suit’s the needs of the writer and the readers.

WordPress Site Launch: Strong Learning, Inc.

Strong Learning, Inc. Custom WordPress SiteWe just completed the launch of our latest project: an e-commerce website for Strong Learning, Inc.

Strong Learning had several needs going into this project. They needed a custom design, they needed a CMS that would allow them to quickly and easily manage their content, and they needed e-commerce integration into their existing 1 Shopping Cart account for both purchases and newsletter signups.

Through the use of WordPress, custom post types, custom taxonomies, and a custom navigation, all of these needs were met.
