We Let the Experts Manage Our WordPress Security and So Should You
So here I go again on one of my rants. I fume over issues for a few days and if it doesn’t go away I know it is time to take it to the blog. I am going to chalk this one up to the old saying “You don’t know, what you don’t know.” I am also going to blame myself for not properly educating my clients and prospective clients.
Website developers are not security experts and most website developers DO NOT manage website hosting. More importantly, they don’t manage security on a website. It doesn’t mean they CAN’T manage it, it just means they wouldn’t be the best person to manage it. It is like saying

My work keeps piling up today which means I really should be working on client projects right now, but I had to stop and write this blog post ASAP because I can’t take it anymore.

Two Important Website Design Elements: Photography and Designers
We just finished building one of our best websites yet for a local restaurant called Captain’s Quarters.
The client was ecstatic about the results which made me start thinking about what made this website build so successful for us and the client. Two important website design elements stood out on the project, great photography and designers. First off, a big shout out to our great designers, my partner Brad Howard and Mark Malik. The second element was all the great photography this client made available to us. It literally took me days to sort through all the photography and categorize it for the designers to use.
