Keep reading to learn more about why a WordPress website is a great choice for your business.

You can manage your own website

With a WordPress Website there is no need to depend on a web designer to manage content on your site. You have the ability to control, edit, and create content on your website.

No specialized training or software needed

A WordPress website allows you to control and manage the content in your website without technical training, programming, or HTML experience. And you do not need any specialized HTML editing software to manage the website.

Manage your website from anywhere in the world

WordPress allows you to edit your website from any web browser. In short, if you have an Internet connection, you can access and edit your website from anywhere on the planet!

Keep website content up to date

You can keep your content current by using a WordPress platform. This CMS gives you the ability to update and publish your own website in minutes allowing you to get your content on-line without delay.

Mobile Friendly

It is important to have a website that is mobile ready because many people primarily use their mobile devices to search the web. A custom responsive WordPress theme is enabled to display content to someone whether they are viewing the website from a computer or mobile device. Google also gives preference to mobile ready sites in search results.

Search Engine Optimization

WordPress makes it easy for search engines to index and read content. Tip: Your pages will be more likely to rank highly in search results if you include content that follows the basics of search engine optimization writing. This brings you traffic and business.

Editing Power

A CMS website, such as WordPress, saves you money by allowing you to edit your website whenever you want! No need to rely on someone else for basic changes or edits. You can easily add photos and images, post new content, and edit content on your website.

Your website belongs to you

A WordPress website provides a universal CMS platform. This means that you are not tied to a website developer for support when you need help with your website or decide to make design alterations.

Plugins expand the reach of your website

Plugins in WordPress make it possible to add elements such as video content, an event calendar, or a Twitter feed to your website. This engages your audience and attracts more visits to the site.

Expand your website content

As your business expands you may want to add more content to your website. WordPress allows you to incorporate an unlimited number of new posts and pages as you grow.

A WordPress website you can control and manage yourself is a terrific solution for a business. However, you still need a trusted and experienced company to design and develop your website.

We worked with Sonora to develop a new site on behalf of a client. We were responsible for the written content and Jim and his team the design of the actual site. Their very easy to understand site templates and instructions along the way take what can feel like a very daunting undertaking, and make it feel very digestible and attainable. I would recommend Sonora for companies large, small and everywhere in-between.

I'm a new business owner who needed design, technical support and maintenance training, as well as logo design. Sonora handled it all professionally, clearly and promptly. The end results, both on the site and logo design, received high praise from peers, friends and potential clients. I recommend this company highly whether you want an off-the-shelf standard budget design or customized web site solution.

We LOVE the team at Sonora so much! Their design work is top-notch and - maybe more important - they are always there for us after the fact when something on a web site needs to be fixed or updated. They respond so quickly, which we appreciate tremendously when a plug-in has caused a site-wide problem! And they are so easy to talk to - they always explain our options clearly and are happy to save us money on things we *don't* need to do. Sure, they know a lot more about this web stuff than we do. But they don't talk down to us - ever! (Which is rare for computer experts!) Jim and Mike are THE BEST. If you are thinking of doing a web site with them, you could not be in better hands. HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED!

I have worked with the team at Sonora across two website revisions over eight years, including periodic updates and site maintenance throughout. The Sonora team is both technically and artistically gifted, providing our website with the functionality we required and an attractively designed interface. Communication and turn around was extremely quick. Thank you Sonora.
