Our site was a custom build WordPress site. We’re screwed.

Well hold on there cowboy.  WordPress drives 25% of the world’s websites right now, and that means that many companies (such as ours!) have resources available to help folks who live that WordPress dream – either as a canned template, or as something completely custom built.

This allowed users to create, maintain and publish their own websites.  Unfortunately, the program was unwieldy and eventually Microsoft discontinued it. Believe it or not, there are STILL websites out there in the world that were built on this platform, and virtually nobody remembers how it works, or how the data structure in the background worked. Good luck trying to update that puppy now! [Deep breath] We can help.  Even if you just want some simple updates. Just reach out and let […]
