UPDATE: Effective January 1, 2024, we are no longer taking new clients. However we are actively mentoring existing clients and/or new webmasters for our clients to learn both general WordPress best practices and site-specific details to make our transition into retirement as easy as possible for all. Please review our Online resources for simple (and not-so-simple) WordPress updates and maintenance and Contact Us if you have questions or need further assistance. Thanks for your many years of support!
