Home / Blog / Marketing / What do Martha Stewart, the NFL and a Coyote in Wyoming All Have in Common?
What an odd question. The truth is that they have something important in common, something you that you also need: a great, functional website with a killer Content Management System. As different as they are, all three entities have sites built on the same platform we use to build our client’s sites. WordPress
In fact, this is a WordPress site and so is Wedding Dish.
I have been talking about the need for wedding professionals to have an easily updateable site that they can manage themselves for quite a while. This is from last December’s Think Like A Bride
If you can’t update the pictures and text on your site by yourself at the click of a button your site is out of date. If you hire a designer to do it for you stress first and foremost functionality. Demand it have a Content Management System (CMS) and that you are fully trained on how to use it. The biggest pet peeve I have with clients is when I tell them to update the photo/copy on their website and they say that their web guy has to do it and he charges $$$ to do it. Fire his rear and get a new site.
Giving wedding professionals the tools they needed was one of the major factors in launching the Agency @ Think in the first place. As we brainstormed and researched the best ways to do that, we too settled on WordPress.
With Stewart, the reasons behind her choice were having a blog with more programming options. For the NFL, they needed something that could handle their traffic, was adaptable to their current branding and would run the cutting art video that they needed. For our friend in Wyoming, Charlie the coyote, Shreve Stockton needed something that was easy for her to handle.They all found the same option we did to be a perfect fit.
If you are starting to get the picture that a WordPress site may be the way to go, let us help. There are so many options that we can build for you that no two will ever look any more alike than the 3 above do. The one thing that will be identical will be how insanely easy it will be for you to finally manage your own website. Isn’t it time you took control of your most valuable marketing tool?
