Local businesses want websites that drive leads, load fast, and help them rank on Google. Here’s why I build exclusively on WordPress—and why it’s the most cost-effective, scalable platform for small businesses today.
📊 WordPress Powers the Majority of the Internet
When you choose a platform for your business website, you’re choosing the foundation of your online presence. WordPress isn’t a trend—it’s the industry standard trusted by small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike.

🚀 Why WordPress Beats Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify
Website builders are fine for hobby projects—but serious businesses need flexibility, SEO strength, and long-term scalability. Here’s why WordPress consistently wins in Sarasota and Bradenton:
Need a gallery? Booking system? Online store? Blog? Membership site? WordPress grows with you—no rebuilding required.
Google ranks WordPress sites higher when properly optimized. Clean structure, great metadata control, and the best SEO plugins available.
Unlike Wix or Squarespace, WordPress is open-source. You own your files, data, and hosting. No lock-in. No surprise restrictions.
And in Sarasota & Bradenton, where competition is growing fast, strong SEO and fast performance make a measurable difference.
🔧 What I Set Up for Every Website I Build
Most “web designers” stop at the design. I don’t. I set up WordPress the correct way—secure, fast, SEO-optimized, and configured for long-term success.
- Security plugins + firewall protection
- Caching + performance optimization
- Automated backups
- Contact forms + lead capture
- Responsive image optimization
- Full SEO setup on every page
If you’ve ever struggled updating a site before, you’ll appreciate how clean, fast, and organized your new WordPress install will be.
