For the best San Francisco Bay Area websites, Crunchy Data builds quality, custom WordPress-based blogs and websites that will showcase your business online to its fullest potential. We only build WordPress-based websites, because WordPress is a flexible, dynamic website platform and content management system, with a vast array of enhancements available.

You, or any of your staff should be able to add pages, blog posts, images, or videos to your site, as WordPress is an ideal CMS (content management system) not only for blogs, but for entire websites.

WordPress has several other notable advantages over traditional HTML (or even Flash-based) websites, including the fact that major search engines tend to index and update content from WordPress sites much more quickly than those based on other platforms.

Your WordPress website will need to checked weekly to ensure that any security or technical updates are installed both for the WordPress platform itself and for any plugins, (mini, built-in programs installed to enhance your website). Websites built on any platform should be monitored for security and technical issues, so ask us about an affordable maintenance contract if you want us to take care of this for you.

We also recommend GoDaddy for your WordPress hosting. GoDaddy is our preferred host, and that’s who we use for our own website hosting. GoDaddy has knowledgeable support techs with strong communication skills on hand to answer the phone 24/7.  And unlike many hosting companies, GoDaddy WILL answer questions relating to WordPress when they can, which in our experience means ALMOST ALWAYS. Also, if you break your site or it gets hacked,  you can turn the clock back with a few button clicks. Many hosts will charge you $200 or more to do that for you, but GoDaddy provides an easy method for you to do this yourself.

We’ve seen what happened after your previous developer left town or just stopped returning your calls. You spent a fortune on your website, and you were left wondering what your own user ID and password were for your site. Or worse, you didn’t know where your site was hosted, or whether Google Analytics had ever been installed.

Or maybe you have an awesome site already and you need to bring it into the 21st century, because, well, Flash.

So here’s the thing; we start from scratch 99% of the time. We learn about what is important to your business, and where you stand in cyberspace. And if you don’t have a website, no worries–sometimes it’s better to start from nothing than to try to come back from a site that was hacked an hosted malware. Although if that’s the case for you, we can help with that, too.

Not only that, but we integrate SEO (search engine optimization) best practices into your website. Because just having a pretty WordPress website is like having a pretty prom dress hanging in the closet and no date for the dance. No one will ever see it. And we wouldn’t stand you up like that.

We will build it so they WILL come, with great design, structural integrity, and ready for marketing. We’ll answer your questions about what we’re doing as we develop your site. Nothing up our sleeves. We are ethical WordPress website designers and SEO consultants. We know WordPress, and we know SEO, as every website developer should.

Sherry wanted the flexibility of a WordPress website so that she could learn to easily edit her own content and keep her site fresh. She also wanted to integrate her blog into her site.

Sherry had a specific look in mind for her site and she designed it herself. We were able to re-create her design using a basic WordPress template and custom graphics.
