We will design or help with adding code to other builders but these two are super user friendly and have powerful developer tools.
Wordpress
WordPress is so versatile and flexible that it easily claims the top spot when it comes to content management systems (CMS). Your not limited to the kind of website you can build. This felxibility is also reflected in the amount of investment required. If your budget is on the smaller end you can take advantage of the numerous resources available through it’s open source community, making use of templates. And if you have a bigger budget a custom website can be built from the ground up.

Jamstack websites are fast, really fast. They’re also highly secure and scale with ease if your site has an influx of visitors. They achieve this by not requiring a server to host backend information on. Effectively cutting out the middle man. Making them a fast growing section of the web.

Breaking down digital marketing
When it comes to digital marketing there’s a plethora of options available. Getting the right mix of campaigns is key to building a great marketing strategy. We’ve broken them down into 3 main groups; Social, Organic and Paid.
Social
Word of mouth has an probably always will be the best form of marketing any business can get. With todays social network sites word of mouth has only been empowered. However there is so much content being pumped out that it’s important to stay consistent and keep engaging when building an audience and brand awareness.
Organic
By organic we mean marketing strategies that generate traffic to your business naturally over time. Anything you don’t spend money on directly and aren’t limited by time and budget. You can think of these strategies like seeds planted that will grow and develop into more from some work completed upfront.
Paid
Of course most marketing is going to require investment. With paid strategies however you can get really specific on the who, where and when. Who’s going to see your ad? Where will the ad appear and when? Allowing us to drill down into a target market and advertise in front of ideal clients.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
When customers are looking for a service they tend to hit the search engines, mainly Google. Having your business show up when customers are actively searching for your service without paying for an ad directly is great for business! Ranking higher in search results means your business shows up everytime for that search, not just when you’ve won the bid to be in the ad space. Meaning your click cap is search numbers not ad budget numbers.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
Pay Per Click advertising is briliantly clever at instantly increasing your businesses visibility and postioning in front of customers who are actively searching/recently searched for your businesses services.
Content Marketing
Content marketing is the creation and sharing of online content. Such as blog posts, case studies, how to guides, videos and info graphics. Social media is a great example of content marketing. The goal with the content created should be to add value in some way. Whether it’s to inform and educate or entertain an audience. Creating online content is like creating flyers or putting up a billboard except the online content will be there long after the flyers have been binned and the billboard changed.
