Mess with the menus, create pages, break stuff, see what happens. Recently we had a client on WIX who asked us to refresh her website. While we had some experience with SquareSpace we had not used WIX before. Honestly it didn’t take long to figure out. Most of these platforms are created to be easier to use. I say easier because nothing is easy! There is some talk about WordPress falling out of favor in some web development circles but I like it because I know it. The BlastBuilder crew is quickly learning that we are going to have to be quickly learning. We are going to have to meet the clients where they are. No two situations will be the same.

Recently we assisted a client with some marketing work. Their website was complete but what they really needed help with was the work of setting up a professional email attached to their domain and setting up their Google places page. For some this may seem simple but for many startups and new business owners this is not their area of expertise. Setting up everything and connecting everything properly, from MX records to the roles and permissions on a YouTube channel needs to be done with thought, care and attention to detail.

All of this is what makes the BlastBuilder proposition interesting. Everyday we continue to learn more. We learn more about clients. We learn more about other platforms and CMS we have never used. We learn to adapt and meet people where they are. Some need a little help, others need a lot. Either way, the team at BlastBuilder is here to for all.

Blog, Articles or Stories? https://blastbuilder.com/2019/01/hello-world/ https://blastbuilder.com/2019/01/hello-world/#comments Tue, 29 Jan 2019 18:34:25 +0000 http://mediadrive.us/blastbuilder/?p=1 Is the term blog the best term to use to describe this section of the website? I suppose it is really a matter of preference but of all the terms listed in the headline I like “articles” the best. In keeping with tradition and best practices it is likely we should just use the term “blog”. However this section will contain case studies, stories, tips and tricks, along with lots of articles. Does the term “blog” properly represent this section?
