Back in the olden days of web design (you know, the 90's people created websites using static HTML pages. These websites were made up of files – a separate file for each page – and every time you wanted to make an update, you had to upload a new file. There were limitations on the ways you could lay these websites out, the functions you could include, and how useful they could be.

In our humble opinion, anyone still using a static HTML website is crazy.

In these modern times, one of the most popular platforms for building a website is WordPress. When most non-web people think of WordPress, they think of blogs. But WordPress is far more than blogs. WordPress is an open source content management system (CMS) with powerful capabilities.

All that community collaboration has made WordPress the simplest, sleekest content management system out there. Not only is it easy for us to design and develop top-quality websites using WordPress, customising those websites and pushing them to the limits of their capabilities is also a breeze. And the best part of all this – WordPress’ ease of use makes it simple for you, the website owner, to maintain your website with little to no help from us. Once we have your website up and running, you’ll be able to hit the ground running with a minimal amount of training. (Other CMS can take up to 20 hours to learn at a basic level, and even then, they’re still confusing.)

WordPress has a wide variety of themes that our developers can customize to suit the needs of your business. Whatever adjustments you’re looking for, we’ll do our WordPress theme development magic and deliver on every last detail. But don’t feel like you’re limited to what’s already out there. Our skilled team is also able to develop custom WordPress themes from scratch. Basically, if you can imagine it for your website, we can turn your vision into reality.

A great benefit of working with the WordPress content management system is the excellent variety of plugins that you can utilize to improve the functionality of your website. Add a Google XML sitemap, Sociable, an event calendar, or a SEO pack. At Behla Design, we strive to stay on top of all the latest and greatest plugins so we can advise you about what would work best for your site without slowing down your speed or cluttering your interface. We’ll help you choose the plugins that run the best, bring you the most traffic, and help engage your customers at every turn.

Our team has worked with the WordPress platform for years both creating sites and fixing sites that are broken.  We have accumulated a great deal of knowledge and have experience:

• Building training sites for clients that are member-based with monthly subscriber fees.

• Using Buddypress to create community-based, social sites and user forums.

• Developing portfolios for artists and photographers.

• Creating e-commerce solutions using the Shop Plugin and Woo Commerce.

• Utilising WordPress plugin technologies such as S2 Member, Wish list, and Infusion WP.

• Optimising websites for search engines by using appropriate SEO plugins, content, and widgets.

• Developing new plugins and customising existing plugins. For example, we have developed plugins for: a return on investment calculator, a real time world financial market data widget, and a wholesale user login solution for an ecommerce shopping cart.

While we do all the complicated behind the scenes work, we don’t leave you in the dark. Our goal is to educate each one of our clients about the functionality of their WordPress sites so you can maintain your website on your own once we have it up and running. With the straightforward WordPress CMS interface, you’ll be able to post blogs, update images, add new content, and make tweaks to your theme whenever you like. And of course, if you ever run into a problem or have a question about your website, we’re always here to help.   We even offer WordPress website training and consulting that is relatable to all levels of user expertise.

We want you to feel complete ownership of your website from the moment we start building throughout the life of your company. Your website is your story, not ours – we’re just here to help you tell it in the most effective and engaging way possible.
