WizzyWig does not have leather couches in our lobby (actually, we don't even have a lobby). So we do not pass those overhead costs to you.

Many web development places out there charge as much as $25,000 for a simple WordPress site. We know what it is like to run a business on a budget. My mission in starting this company was to make high quality, sophisticated web sites accessible to the small business and budget.

If you have a small budget for your project, most agencies will assign your project to their intern, while still charging you full agency rates. With a freelancer, quality can be hit or miss. When you work with WizzyWig, you are dealing with a seasoned professional who has the portfolio to prove it. Read some of our Testimonials

It's also good to know where your web developer falls in the spectrum of artistic vs programming skills. Some developers are coding geniuses -- they can program almost anything (but it may not be pretty). Others are strong designers, where it will look great but will not be as functionally robust, or sometimes won't even be coded correctly at all. Barbara sits firmly in the middle of these two worlds, and may use expert contractors that can pick up the coding or design slack when needed.

This is one of the most common concerns about working with a freelancer: they are only a freelancer because they are transient and currently looking for a "real" job! This means that in 6 months or 2 years, they may not be available to provide ongoing support, or they will take forever to make your changes because they only do this on the side.

Barbara has been in business independently since 2003. She is well connected with many local WordPress developers and has contingency plans in place if she were to be hit by a bus, so we can guarantee you that no matter what, there will always be someone who has your (and your website's) back.

When we create a website, we design our own custom Wordpress themes, instead of trying to customize a pre-designed third party theme. When you try to customize a third party theme, you can only change as much as the theme authors designed it to allow you to change. (so, for example, if the client wants a newsletter opt-in to appear just below their header, if the theme doesn't have that built in, then it can be difficult to do).

Designing a custom WordPress theme gives us complete control over every little thing -- the appearance and functionality of the site, etc -- and in most cases, it takes less time than trying to customize a third party theme. This allows us to create custom websites that are as beautiful as they are functional.
