Someone clues you in that your web site looks nice, but whoever put it together gave no consideration to SEO. So now you have to redesign the site and start nearly from scratch. Scenario #2 is that you become educated about SEO so that every aspect of your web site works towards getting you ranked well in the search engines. (more…)

If they stumble on any of these questions, consider shopping around. (more…)

WordPress is the #1 CMS (content management software) by a large margin. The support and resources are phenomenal. You will save a fortune over time using WordPress.
