We love working with this fun and creative photographer! 

Siddiqi Ray is a photographer who has photographed world business and spiritual leaders including some notable names: The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, several members of the Kennedy Family, and an underwater series of the Navy SEALS. 

It was an honor to work with her. Siddiqi recently rebranded and her website needed to reflect her new look! Check out the awesome design and take a peek at her blog layout (we are extra excited about this)!

Now her website is easy to use and perfect to attract incoming clients.

​Wordpress vs. Weebly

Wordpress has its place with over 75 million active websites in existence. Wow! Unfortunately, when something is the industry standard, its popularity can become the very reason for its downfall. 

When we Googled "how many Wordpress websites are there" the next most popular search phrase was "how many Wordpress websites are hacked." Oops! When a platform becomes popular, there is an incentive, or a market, for either helping it or benefiting from it.

Huh? Let's consider the iPhone for a moment. When the iPhone gained traction, everyone else had to jump on  board, too. Apps were created, bedazzled cases and screen protectors were manufactured, repair shops opened, docking stations were engineered, and a whole economy with the iPhone as its sun came into existence. 

Wordpress has had a similar effect, but not in the way you would imagine. While it has created an economy of plug-ins, themes and Wordpress service providers, it has also created a market for Spam, Scams and Viruses. 

Over 35% of our new clients come from bad Wordpress experiences. 

That's why we have a different approach to web design, and it's turning heads.

Our competitors, colleagues, and clients are shocked to learn we design websites in Weebly, a drag-and-drop builder.

But we use Weebly for one simple reason – our clients are tired of the overwhelm that comes along with a WordPress website. They want the ability to make edits to the website on their own, and WordPress is difficult for them to manage.

So why do we use Weebly over its competitors like Squarespace and Wix? We found Weebly gives the best of both worlds. For our team, we are able to completely customize the CSS/HTML of the website design so each website is customized to YOUR brand. However, our clients get the ease of use of editing their website with the drag and drop features.

But what about SEO? 

This tends to be the biggest concern about switching over to Weebly. Rest assured, we've outranked our clients' former websites on many platforms, including WordPress websites. That's because SEO favors factors like content and design over platform. Let's face it, if you visit a website that doesn't immediately look safe, credible, or welcoming, you leave. If the website doesn't have the content that you're seeking, you leave. We've found many of our WordPress website designers approach SEO too technically and forget about basic marketing.
