			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Custom CMS with WordPress Design</h1>
<h3>Why choose WordPress for your next website or redesign?</h3>
<p>By choosing WordPress for your business website or personal website you will have total control of your content like never before. Beyond the simple and powerful CMS solution that is the backbone of your WordPress site it also is proven to be a very powerful and effective open source platform. There are thousands of free plugins to expand your website even further without having to know how to code!</p>
<h3>Why hire someone to design your WordPress website?</h3>
<p>We have worked with many individuals and small businesses who have gotten themselves started in WordPress and soon realized their sites looked like a thousand others out there. There are tons of free themes and even some good premium WordPress themes out there. The fact is however, a lot of these are very basic and limiting when it comes to creating a unique and branded website.</p>
<ul>
<li>We create powerful creative designs that fit your exact needs</li>
<li>We customize your page templates and sidebars for a perfect fit</li>
<li>We add sliders anywhere unlike most themes that place them in one spot</li>
<li>We teach you how to get the most out of your WordPress website</li>
<li>We teach you how to use all of your plugins and SEO tools</li>
</ul>
<p>Those are just a few good reasons why you might want to hire us to build your custom WordPress website.</p>
<h3>Contact us today to try WordPress for free!</h3>
<p>We will set you up with a sample Wordpress website so you can get acquainted with the Admin Dashboard and see how easy it is to use.  Never struggle with your content again!</p>
<p><em>Check out this video overview of the WordPress Dashboard.</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online businesses today talk a lot about <strong>search engine ranking</strong> and <strong>SEO</strong>. How often do you overhear someone talking about how to be at the top of the search engines but have no clue how to get there? Well what I have been learning and practicing is not so much about how to be at the top of search engines but rather, how do you get noticed locally? Yes, being on the first page of google is important. However, if that is the only goal than you are missing the bigger picture.<br />
<span id="more-26"></span> Most small businesses today rely heavily on a local <strong>customer base</strong> NOT the whole world of consumers out there. Sure, it would be nice to sell your products and services around the world. Quite simply though most small businesses today rely on their community around them to support their business.<br />
If your small business is online then the main goal of that website should be to drive potential customers through your door. If you are not selling your products or services directly on your website than there has to be a bigger goal to your <strong>online presence</strong>. What is that goal you ask. Well, again we&#8217;re back to the game of ranking. Yes, millions of people use search engines to find what they are looking for everyday. Did you know that at least half of those searches bring customers into local search databases? Places like Yelp, Local.com, YP.com, and a thousand other local databases out there.<br />
It is a great strategy to not only target the search engines but the local databases as well. The more exposure your business has in these places the more likely someone from your neighborhood is going to find you. I have been helping small businesses achieve a higher presence online through doing just that. I use this strategy to help the small business online build a stronger presence locally by getting their websites listed in more local places online. As your local presence grows online the larger search engines begin to move you up in rank simply because you are getting more relevant links to your site and more website traffic. The bottom line is getting listed locally helps you to rank higher globally.<br />
To learn more about how I can help you achieve a stronger local presence for your small business online contact me today!</p>
