VERITAS ASSOCIATES, LLC

Arizona WordPress Designer

Custom WordPress Sites Provide SEO Advantages

Converting A Website To WordPress For SEO Benefit

As an Arizona WordPress Designer, I often run into situations where a site can be optimized in HTML, but if we are doing an ongoing SEO campaign, the cost benefit of running on a WordPress core increases dramatically. WordPressing a site is not hard, and can often be done as part of a website redesign.

The original design elements were left over from another website designer. I simply cleaned it up, big time. I replaced the bulky javascript that was running the slider menu with nice clean Jquery, I redid the table layout as clean CSS, I proportioned everything. I also put the site onto a WordPress platform, which was a great move. Since we also do the SEO for Veritas Associates LLC, creating a super SEO friendly web design like this was a good move. It paid off well, just search Google for an Arizona Private Investigator, he has been top 5 for a year, #3 right now and closing in on that #1 spot. He is also one of many that I have done and promoted with top AZ spots as an Arizona WordPress Design pro.

When designing a WordPress website, there are many tools to use for different elements. Sidebars can be hard coded, widgetized, dynamic, static, use default template commands, whatever. A really good template blends these elements together seamlessly, and provides for good SEO, which this WordPress Web Design does.

Advantages Of WordPress Content Management Systems

Conquering SEO With Intelligent, Custom CMS

Many people do not understand the need for a good content managed website. You may think, as I once did, I can simply manage my content with dreamweaver, or even notepad if you like to hand code your websites soup to nuts (I Do). Well, this is true. So why does WordPress provide an advantage?

Why Does A WordPress Site Really Make Matter?

Advantages Of WordPress

Every Arizona business could benefit from a WordPress website design. The benefits are many:

  • Manage all pages of the site in a super easy tree like structure
  • Manage all URLS for all pages in one place, with easy redirecting for changes
  • Add capabilities such as live chat, forums, analytics and more with an easy plugin system that anyone can learn in under 5 minutes
  • Manage all titles, meta tags, and other SEO characteristics from a master list inside the WordPress administration panel.
  • Fantastic Gallery for managing your website’s images

S.K. FRAMES

This website started as a WordPress site design, a free download. The customer had a few needs for modifying and setting up the template, which was no problem for My Favorite Web Designs chief designer and developer, Joshua Jacoby. Josh has modified countless templates, and understands creating a web template that works for CMS.

The first order of business was the sliding navigation pane on the front page. this uses simple jquery to show the images from the most recent posts, and use them as the pictures on the navigation. This all falls down when the post does not have an awesome image, and it is disappointing that the most prominent navigation in the site design structure is tied to posts – it should lead to prime real estate pages of the site, such as the services and contact. To rectify this, I modified the slider loop that tied into script to show the pages on the site, then locked it for the pages we want, reducing the overall query load on the WordPress server.

Next up some logo and footer action, then Nextgen gallery took care of the sidebar images, I widgetized the sidebar, a huge wordpress CMS advantage. The only annoying thing I will throw out there, for folks who have not done a ton of design, is that widgets do not transfer domains easily. they can transfer servers no problems, but the domain is hard coded into serialized data, which cannot be edited manually. The scripts for doing find and replace on serialized widget data also suck, resulting in having to basically rebuild widgets, so be wary of overusing them, they can really slow down your WordPress design.
