We Develop WordPress Websites

Joe Hackman — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 22:31:09 +0000

As many of our readers know we started using the WordPress platform as a Content Management System (CMS) for our website. Our customers actually noticed as well and we started building WordPress based Websites (as a CMS) and Blogs for some of our government and business clients this year. We’re pretty excited about the growth that we’ve experienced, in fact our lead developer is so busy that Joe has been personally hacking away at our website so it lacks a lot of the heavy customization we’ve been doing for some of our most discerning clients.

Why WordPress?

We’ve been using WordPress for a number of reasons, our background was using Joomla and prior to that ASP and Cold Fusion. These words might mean little to many of you reading this but for us WordPress is a platform that offers incredible independence and simplicity for our customers. We can cost effectively build attractive blogs and websites for our clients and THEY can maintain them. By cutting the cord, you are able to maintain your own blog or website should you choose to do so, or if you prefer we can help you. So why WordPress:

Extensive network of template and plugin developers for fast cost effective development.
Simple platform to backup, move, and maintain.
Built for speed and efficiency.
Top blogging platform that can be leveraged on your site, not hosted somewhere else.
Social Media Integration second to none.

As you can see there are a number of great reasons why we use WordPress. We hope that you will think of us when considering social engagement, blogging and website design. Keep in mind that our WordPress development services start as low as $300 and go up from there depending on the amount of customization, features and existing content that we need to port over. Call us any time to discuss your web and social media presence at 925-272-0384.

Preventative Maintenance Before and After, Why we PM

Joe Hackman — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 17:13:30 +0000

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, what is this picture saying?

Before: Very Dirty Computer

Now the after picture though I wish in retrospect that we recorded a video of the entire process, the dust cloud was enormous!

After: Very Clean Computer

Why we PM

You probably already know that heat can be very harmful to your computer. Computers move air to keep themselves cool, in the process they pull any particulate matter that is present in the air into their cooling fans and on their heat-sinks. This is why for almost 14 years we’ve been providing preventative maintenance cleaning as an important part of our service offering. We have saved countless clients thousands of dollars on repairs and replacement costs. Have you PM’d your computers lately? Give us a call at 925-272-0384 and we’d be happy to provide you with a quote to perform this service at your place of business.

I think it is very important to disclose relationships and policies to people who rely on you for information, in this case readers of this website and our clients. On this website we promote products and services from partners and affiliates of Managed Solutions. In some cases there are monetary rewards for these efforts. While we do not directly warrant these products we do have some strict guidelines for partnering with a company:

It must be a product we use ourselves or would be willing to use.
The company must be reputable and follow ethical operating procedures.

If a company we partner with fails to meet these criteria we will cease to promote their products on this website. If you feel that any of products we promote on this site do not fall under our guidelines I would like to hear about it. You can phone or send me a message directly using the websites contact form.
