Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you use a framework or will the design be uniquely mine?
The answer to both is yes! The StudioPress Genesis framework provides the basis of all our WordPress themes. The framework is yours and comes with free upgrades for life. The child theme is the custom-part of the framework that we will create for you, and will be available exclusively for you and your site(s). Our code is top quality; we use very few plugins when structuring your site. We follow best practices as outlined here, here and here.

2. Can I still use whatever plugins I want?
Of course! We know that one of the biggest praises about WordPress are the plugins that you can easily add to your site. And we do our best to reduce any potential for conflicts with plugins. We code according to standards set out here, here and here. It is still a good idea to discuss any desired plugins with us so we can keep your site safe and secure.
3. Will I be able to add my own content?
Absolutely. One of the benefits of WordPress is the ease of use. We will show you how to use it and send training emails designed for small business owners to develop a useful and profitable website.
