WordPress.org
It just wouldn’t be right not to list WordPress.org as one of our most important partners.
WordPress is an open source (free) blogging platform that has literally transformed the way we develop websites. Thanks to a very large community of open source theme and plugin (extra modules for your site) developers we can now build extremely functional, graphically superior CMS (you can manage your own content) websites in weeks rather than months, reducing your overall development cost and allow you to show off your new website in record time.
Rackspace
Because you just never know when you might get that sudden burst of traffic (isn’t that what we are all hoping for when we build our website!?) we’ve chosen Rackspace Cloud sites as our preferred hosting provider. When you choose to host your website with us, you can be assured that your website is hosted with one of the world’s leading hosting and technology companies. With our 562 Media/Rackspace hosting plan you can be sure that your website is secure, that your up time is guaranteed, that your bandwidth is burstable and that you will not only receive the support of 562 Media, but the Fanatical Support® of the entire Rackspace team.
At 562 Media, we purchase a large allotment of space and bandwidth with Rackspace each month that is shared among our client base. What does this mean for you? As a client, you will receive all of the benefits of an enterprise level hosting plan at a greatly discounted price. Contact us to find out more about hosting plans through 562 Media and Rackspace.
Gravity Forms
Being that we develop 90% of our websites in WordPress we’re big fans of any company who can help make our job of developing websites easier as well as help us deliver an end product that our client’s will be impressed with. For that reason we LOVE Gravity Forms. If you’re a client of ours you’ll benefit from the ease of use and great back end featured that your form pages (Contact Forms, Sign Up Forms, etc, etc) have thanks to this great Plugin. For developers, if you aren’t currently using Gravity Forms for all of your WordPress websites, don’t wait another minute before checking them out. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did!
Woo Themes
We don’t believe in sacrificing style or functionality just because you have a limited website budget. Thankfully there are template or theme designers like WooThemes that enable us to build you a semi-custom website more quickly and cost effectively than other options. We have selected WooThemes as our preferred vendor based on their outstanding design, support and simple back end options. We are also members of the WooTheme developer community.
If you have never built a WordPress website or have already completed your set up and just need a little bit of extra help customizing your new WooTheme website, we can help. Not familiar with Woo Themes or WordPress themes in general? We encourage you to visit WooThemes.com and review their various theme options. See one you like and not sure what to do next? Contact us and we’d be happy to go over our customization options in more detail.
