WordPress Web Design and Website Conversion
We specialize in two areas, designing small business websites from 1 to 5 pages and converting websites to a more future proof, easy to use platform.
We like keeping prices low and helping clients get a quick win, building an internet presence quickly. We believe getting online fast with a nice looking website is more important than going through a long drawn out process of building an extensive perfect website, especially if you have never had a website before. The advantage is building search results sooner rather than later. After you presence has been established we can take an Agile approach to build out your website and growing your business.
We also enjoy getting clients onto a better technology platform that is easier to use. We convert websites from other CMS to WordPress, HTML to WordPress or from one WordPress theme to our preferred one, Divi by Elegant Themes.
Wether it is designing a small website to get started or converting to our preferred WordPress platform then growing has an additional benefit. We have worked with Divi by Elegant themes for years and use it on ever website. We are faster and more knowledgable on this platform than any other. This allows us to answer your questions faster and be more helpful when providing managed WordPress hosting.
HTML to WordPress
Getting your first CMS, WordPress website can be a challenge: not knowing how to use it, what theme to choose, and which plugin will do what you want. We have carefully selected the Divi theme from Elegant themes, a framework that you can trust. We have also selected the best professional plugins to use with it. Converting your old HTML website will be a piece of cake for our professional web designers.
Theme Conversion
Picked a theme that you don’t like anymore? Maybe your theme isn’t releasing updates as fast as it should or maybe things are just breaking too often. We can convert your WordPress website from any theme over to Divi by Elegant Themes for one flat price. We will maintain your current design as much as possible so that the real benefit is standardizing your WordPress with up to date technology.
Other CMS to WordPress
WordPress is the most widely used CMS by far. Maybe that is because it has the largest community behind it and offers the best selection of features for you to add to your website. Our team is experienced with moving and converting websites from another CMS to WordPress.
WordPress Maintenance
We consider maintenance as anything that improves your WordPress website. Adding content to your website is essential to keeping your website relevant and growing. Using a keyword strategy, you can reach top search results by adding new content on a regular basis and building links to your website. We can help you build that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy, getting your website to the top and staying there. If you are looking to do this yourself, we high recommend and encourage it. We want to see you succeed.
We have been working with Shepherds Loft for quite a few years now. Initially we began working with him to design and launch our website for Witt Building Company. We have always received many compliments on our website. Since then, David has helped us with our real estate website, Witt Home Sales, and is also our social media expert/trainer. He really is a "Jack of All Trades". He is super creative, yet he is also very technically savvy. He is also a very good teacher, and is constantly keeping up with the latest and greatest technology, the best way to improve your website stats, how to tie all of your social media together, etc. A really fantastic person to know and bounce ideas off of and someone you can trust!
Irene Witt
Working with Shepherds Loft from the vision and development planning stage to building our new website template was incredible. The time, energy, and quality of work David provided throughout the entire process exceeded our expectations and resulted in the creation of a top-notch website. The massive improvements to the customer functionality has resulted in a greater amount of traffic and sales. In the near future, we will contact Shepherds Loft for future enhancements to our current website because of the outstanding work that was completed.
