Welcome! This is the 2023 iteration of our web property. It is a small business example site built on WordPress, and has a fairly standard menu and ties to 4 social media hubs. Being a web developer, I find it somewhat difficult to keep up my own website. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. I know builders that do fabulous work on very beautiful homes, and they themselves live in modest ‘shacks’ comparatively speaking. We probably all know someone like this – too busy to do their own craft for themselves. But it really doesn’t present so well.
Tools
It is important to keep up with new technologies and have a showcase for your work, so I’ve updated WordPress to a more modern design. I’ve built this site on the Materialis ↗️ theme.
