What Platform Is Best for Our Clients?
We like WordPress for a variety of reasons, but primarily because we only want to create environments that are the best investment for our clients.
This decision gets made for each project not according to what is the most fun for us to work with, or what has the most buzz among developers, but what is best for our clients. When we’re helping clients succeed, it’s not about playing with cutting edge toys with sparkly bells and whistles — we’re using what’s reliable and has proven return on investment.
