Mobile-Friendly Websites

5.0 = Gutenberg

Well, it’s here and if you have not been paying attention you probably don’t have to… a big tech thing just happened on your website.

WordPress 5.0, which is a major update.

Don’t worry, you probably won’t feel (notice) a thing. Especially if you do not update your own website, no worries at all.

For those of you that do, my kindred souls, you need to make a decision. Do you want to use Gutenberg or not?

Some of you cannot use it on some pages = pages that contain paypal buttons or any other tricky thing we may have done to make some web magic happen. Those pages need to say the same! So if you mistakenly open one, just don’t save it. Just get out of there. When it says changes will be lost, say fine. If you do happen to mess it up, it will still be in there in the history (WordPress saves changes…) and we can restore it. Let me know.

Okay, sorry about the creepy tech post. I wanted to test out the new Gutenberg editor. If you can read this, it works.


SSL for your Website

I am offering SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which is site security for your website.

The minds behind the internet think it is time for the whole thing to become secure. Google agrees and is now giving a SEO boost to secure websites. Chrome is of course with Google (Chrome is from Google) and is going to start to give warnings if someone fills out a form, any form, on a website.

So, time to get secure. I am offering a one time fee of $50 to secure your website.

The “They” of the internet have given me a way to offer SSL to my websites more cheaply than in the past. It does take some work on my part, and that is what you are paying for. So go for it. Get your site secure.

If you would like, you can now offer online payments with a SSL enabled site. Check out Stripe, very inexpensive – https://stripe.com/

Township Hall

A great start for a Township website.

This theme was created with townships in mind, (I have done a couple of township websites) and to help township residents find the information that’s important to them quickly and efficiently.

But it’s not just for townships. This would make a nice theme for any business or organization.

Get the Special Meeting Minutes plugin (extra $) that allows townships to easily upload meeting minutes and agendas in PDF form. This plugin works great for any organization that has meeting minutes that they want to display on their website. Easy to upload your meeting minutes PDFs.
