Ray Simon needed a site up for the Embarcadero Technology Group. He needed it soon. He needed it tomorrow. “Ray, we have to talk.”

We did talk. We talked through a few themes and in the end went with a beautifully professional Elegant Theme from Nick Roach. We got a low priced-domain, we got him some fast WordPress hosting and I walked Ray through the basics of WordPress publishing and he was off to the races. The next day his site was populated with content, images, links, and organized. Go Ray, go WordPress!

Ray uploaded images and behind the scenes, the theme helped crop and resize images so Ray only had to upload them once. Using WordPress’s new menu system, he was able to create and customize a menu for the drop-down navigation bar. Mixing pages and categories, even tags and direct URLs in the menu system.

Spending some time together on the phone and looking through–and then working through–some themes, we were able to make a smart decision that enabled the Embarcadero Technology Group to get their site up and running fast, efficiently, and effectively.
