Becky Davis of Becky Davis Design Talks About the Power of WordPress as the Basis for her Business
WordPress has become incredibly important for my business in the past couple of years. For my small business clients it gives them the freedom and flexibility to make editing changes and additions without me. For me, it’s become an amazing tool. I’ve stopped saying “no” when it comes to requests for functionality. Need a contact form, photo gallery, slideshow, event calendar, videos and even a full blown shopping cart? Done – and in considerably less time (and expense) than if I had to create all those things from scratch. Even if my client is not interested in editing their site, the structure allows me to design and build one for them at a reasonable cost.
I’m always discovering new plug-ins or new ways to create greater functionality or flexibility and I love how much information sharing there is from the online community. We love WordPress!
Thanks for allowing me to share my story!
– Becky
