Web Design Services

Bob developed his first website in 1996, long ago in internet time!  It was a Beatles music site that had a dual purpose – first to help Beatles fans locate Beatles resources on the fledgling internet and the second, to act as a ad revenue site.

Most recently, Bob has developed his skills in WordPress as a platform for business and personal websites.  WordPress is the perfect environment because of its flexibility, its inherently strong SEO structure, it’s powerful capabilities and last but not least, the fact that clients can manage their own site content.
