The Easterday Construction Co., Inc. website was looking a bit dated and with changes in computers around here, I didn’t have a program that allowed me to edit it. I’ve also been reading about the various things that make a site visible and there was no doubt that ours was lacking. When we first put it up in 2004 I thought the “Under Construction” moniker was a cute visual play on words for a construction company site, but it was no longer cutting it. The previous editing program made adding content such a chore that it was hard to find the time and ambition to add content and work with the site. Since I do most of this at home or on lunch hours, procrastination due to frustration took over.
I spoke to Pat Renneker of Satellite Software, our web hosting company, about it. He suggested since I was using WordPress for the blog and was comfortable with it, it made sense to switch the website over to that format as well. Pat did all the transfers for me. He also updated and transferred the blog so that it is a more seamless part of the site. He went above and beyond for me and I appreciate it. I’m sure there are some glitches yet to figure out, so if you see anything, let me know. Hopefully it will be easier to add content and refresh the site with the new tools, but there will be a learning curve.
I am using the ITWORX II theme which Pat helped me select. It offers a myriad of options which I am starting to explore. Hopefully you’ll be seeing additional changes and additions in the coming weeks.
Looks good!
@B3 – Thanks!
