I can provide the domain name, the hosting, and the site, a complete one stop shop.

    • This site was built for an event center in Ponderay, Idaho. The focus here was a clean informative site offering contact information and an overview of the services and rates. This site was built on the WordPress 3 platform and is completely manageable by the office staff, no coding required.

    Google Analytics is a web analytics tool offering detailed visitor statistics. The tool can be used to track all the usual site activities: visits, page views, pages per visit, bounce rates and average time on site, etc.  It can also be used to specifically track Adsense traffic, therefore helping webmasters to optimize Adwords based on where visitors come from, time on site, click path and geographic location.

    Not only is Google Analytics a great indicator of how your site is doing, it is an even better indicator of where your site can improve. Combined with my knowledge in Search Engine Optimization and Google Analytics training I can make minor copy changes to bring your page up the ranks.

Website security, menu management, custom background support are just a few of the improvement, it is morphing into a powerful and flexible CMS. WordPress is an open source blog publishing application powered by PHP and MySQL which can also be used for content management. It has many features including a plugin architecture and a templating system.

    Used by over 2% of the 10,000 biggest websites, WordPress is the most popular blog software in use today. As of September 2009, it was being used by 202 million websites worldwide, RZE Designs is also built using the WordPress platform.  I am really excited about developing for WordPress 3, I hope to get your site up and running on WordPress.

    If you are interesting in learning more about WordPress, the book “Digging into WordPress” the is a wonderful resource.  I would recommend the book to anyone looking to learn more about the platform.  Additionally, as the book is updated for WordPress 3 and beyond you will automatically get the updated version as it is released via PDF.  Read More…
