As we did for Mover Mike’s - Chris flexed his WordPress muscles to help The Moderate Voice reach its business objective; a cleaner easier to navigate WordPress site without taking on major design revisions.

Finding Peace with WordPress Plug_ins

wordpress-plugins21.jpg Recently I had a conversation with someone who aired his frustration with “choosing” the right WordPress plug-ins.”The right ones? I asked. Isn’t the right plug-in really a result of the overall goals and objectives you have for your site?” And after this statement/question - he had an ‘aha’ moment. Realizing the simplicity of what I had asked him, he easily moved on to identify which specific WordPress plug-ins he would need help installing on his traffic hungry blog.

WordPress Blogging

I am no blogging expert. In fact, I consider myself a pseudo blogger in that I am still trying to figure it out as I go along. One thing I am certain of, however, is that as a company we need to blog in order to reach an audience that is willing to 1) read our stuff, and 2) help us identify them as our audience. So, you may ask yourself ‘what does Felix like to blog about?’ Well, let me try to answer that for you. As you may have been able to tell thus far, Nicasio Design likes loves WordPress! So, I write about what we consider ourselves ‘experts’ in.

Not following usability standards will hinder you from achieving your objectives, as well as keeping visitors from coming back to your site, the site’s stickiness, and your ability to us your site to build loyalty and trust with customers.

This site is a great example of what your discussed in your last blog post concerning WordPress - its ability to be used to develop a fully functional website and not only as a blog.

Webmaster Jam Session - Report!

This was an awesome conference we attended. Not only was it in the coolest big city of the south, Atlanta, but the entire experience was as stress free as can be. Hats off to the team who put the conference together; Jay you guys are tops! Nicasio Design team WILL attend next year…and no we do not have the monkey.

There was one minor incident - which I hate to have to share, but the mail chimp monkey [one of the event sponsors] came up missing Saturday morning. mailchimp.jpg

Other then the mail monkey that went missing…looking forward to next year!

Forget everything you think you know about WordPress…

And possibly what others have told you as well. The reality is that WordPress WAS originally developed to help its users maintain their blogs or online diaries. 5 years later there is an increasing number of folks using WordPress to develop entire websites. YES - you heard me - websites, not just blogs!

What does this mean for you? To be honest - anything you want it to mean. With over 3,000 registered plugins at the time I wrote this article - making WordPress do what YOU need it to do is just a few mouse clicks away. [ insert shameless plug here: ] And with the help of an experienced web design and development team like our own your website could be the next big thing.
