Designing and Developing Websites with WordPress

Would you rather have to call up your web developer every time you want to change your website, or just go in and do it yourself? If your website was set up using WordPress, the answer is obvious: DIY.

Once upon a time, managing web content required learning HTML, but not anymore. WordPress, originally developed as a blogging platform, has become the most popular content management system (CMS) for websites because of its wide range of features and ease of use.

Many Zen Den clients want our expertise in creating or redesigning their websites, but also want the freedom to make their own updates going forward. With WordPress, Zen Den clients can manage their own content, image galleries, blogs, and more.

Toyota E-Warranty Online, for example, can adjust its rate calculation system every time new models come out or changes are made to warranties.
