Custom Web Development

You may wonder if you need custom web development or not. The simple answer is “probably”. The reason is, everything gets modified even if we begin with a platform such as WordPress. Consequently, the real question is about how much custom web development you’ll. For instance, if we use Magento, Joomla, Drupal or WordPress you’ll need less custom web development. This is because some things are built into the platform so we won’t need custom programming. However, even with these powerful platforms, it is still never as simple as just dropping in your logo and contact info.

WordPress Web Design

We may even use a design theme and we will still be doing custom design. For instance, the theme might give us options like blue, red or green buttons. Additionally, we will still have plenty of control over the final design. Consequently, we can get the exact look you want by customizing everything. For instance, WordPress comes with an editor where we can change the programming code. As a result, we end up with custom programming in WordPress.

Custom WordPress Programming

We have never had a WordPress web design project where we didn’t have to do some custom programming. However, the good news is that once we are done you won’t need our help anymore. For instance, you’ll be able to add products, photos, new pages and new sections. Plus, everything will be easy for you to maintain from the Content Management System.

After reading the above paragraph you may wonder if we work on small projects. YES we do! We work on all types of projects, large, small and everything in-between. Additionally, no matter what platform we use, your new website will work on all mobile devices. The thing that made mobile web design obsolete is responsive web design. Consequently, your website will look terrific no matter what the viewer is using. Responsive websites work on smart phones, tablets and all computers.

WordPress Web Design

Over time WordPress continues to become more popular. Consequently, so many people have had an opportunity to manage a WordPress website. As a result, experience in WordPress is a job requirement for anyone that wants to work in marketing. Additionally, a marketing director is often expected to manage the website by using the WordPress admin.

One thing that certainly added to the popularity of WordPress is that people can use it for free. Plus, a design theme is not expensive at all. Additionally, there are plenty of plugin modules that can add to the functionality of a WordPress website. Many of these plugins are free and others are available for a nominal fee. If you ever want programming changes there are millions of competent WordPress developers worldwide.

Joomla Web Developer

Joomla can be used for the Content Management System or it can be used as an ecommerce platform. To many people it seems more complicated to administer. However, this is because it has more options, especially for ecommerce development. The Joomla extensions that are available save time and money. This is because the bulk of the work is done for us once we implement an extension module.

We may make some adjustments but the majority of the programming is already in the Joomla extensions. Joomla also has a worldwide following of web developers in the millions. The plugins or “extensions” that can be added on give us so many options. Consequently, they can increase the functions that your new website can have. Plus, there are plenty of responsive themes which allow it to work on all tablets and smart phones. Some very well-known companies use Joomal including General Electric, eBay, IKEA and many others.

Drupal Web Development

Drupal is not as well known and although we have experience in this platform it is not the one we typically decide to use.  However, there is nothing  wrong with Drupal. In fact, they have millions of users including The White House.  However, since we are custom programmers so we don’t need a ready made platform anyway.

Drupal has been used to manage everything from a simple blog to a robust ecommerce site. There is no shortage of plugin modules available either. In fact, at last count there were over 20,000 available. Plus, we also have a vast selection of design themes for all types of businesses.  Also, since this is an open source code there are millions of programmers worldwide who are always improving the software. Additionally, they are adding to the functionality that it can provide.

For instance, if you wanted English and Spanish on a website you might think that all you have to do is translate all the product info into both languages. However, you also have all the graphic elements like the buttons. Those buttons direct people to buy or add to cart or continue shopping. Magento makes changing them easy by allowing us to upload a csv file with the translations. The graphics don’t actually change the text is superimposed in-front of the buttons. Consequently, it appears that the text is on the buttons.

Dreamweaver Custom Programming

For many custom web developers Dreamweaver was the first custom programming software they ever used. In the beginning we used Notepad before Dreamweaver was invented. With this software program we create the code on our computer and upload it to the web server. As a custom development tool the design is 100% up to us.

Custom Web Development

We have graphic artists who will use other programs to custom make the design. Additionally, we are able to use Dreamweaver to build a website without starting with any ready made platform. Consequently, since we are custom programmers there is nothing we can’t create for you. Contact us today for all of your web design needs.
